West on the Corner

Bavarian-style East End brewery and beer hall WEST comes, um, west with its stylish new corner bar-restaurant on Woodlands Road, taking up the old premises of salty boozer The Halt. For a few months hitherto used as a pop-up pub by WEST until they decided to make their residency there permanent, WEST on the Corner pretty much repeats the formula of their east end HQ – quality local-brewed beers and matching authentic German-inspired menu – but with a slightly more urban, cosmopolitan vibe (stripped brick walls and open kitchen ahoy). They’re open from breakfast (say "ja" to a Nürnberger sausage roll) through lunch and dinner until late, and the focus is overall a little more food-y, less beer-y than out east. Though don’t ever let that stop you dropping in just for a pint of signature beers St Mungo, Hefeweizen or Munich Red.
