Brew & Barrel: Clapham's Day-to-Night Destination

Nestled in the heart of Clapham Old Town, Brew & Barrel offers a seamless transition from daytime café to evening cocktail bar. This independent, family-run establishment has quickly become a neighborhood favorite, owned by local twin brothers who've created a versatile venue that truly understands its community.

A Coffee Lover's Paradise

By day, Brew & Barrel shines as a specialty coffee destination, serving single-origin Brazilian beans prepared by passionate baristas. Their coffee program has earned them a reputation for serving some of the best brews in Clapham, from perfectly crafted lattes to refreshing iced coffees.

Brunch Worth Celebrating

Under the guidance of Chef Jason Howard (who appeared on Masterchef Professionals in 2015), the kitchen produces a standout brunch menu featuring elevated classics with Mediterranean influences:

• Eggs Benedict with bacon, Parma ham, cheese and tarragon-spiked hollandaise
• Chorizo and Scrambled Eggs on sourdough - a simple but perfectly executed favorite
• Mushrooms on Sourdough with bacon, tomatoes, rocket and parmesan
• Basil Pesto and Seasonal Tomatoes on sourdough - light, fresh and vibrant

Evening Transformation

As day turns to night, Brew & Barrel transforms into a cozy cocktail bar with an impressive drinks menu. Their signature espresso martinis come in three variations (classic, Black Forest, and salted caramel), alongside Clapham-themed specialty cocktails, craft beers, and wine.

Atmosphere & Setting

The venue features exposed brick walls and warm green tones, creating an immediately welcoming atmosphere. The outdoor seating area overlooks the main square, making it an ideal spot for people-watching on sunny days. With extended hours Thursday through Sunday, it's perfect for both early risers seeking their morning caffeine fix and night owls looking for quality cocktails.

Whether you're starting your day with a specialty coffee and brunch, meeting friends for afternoon drinks, or enjoying evening cocktails, Brew & Barrel delivers a consistently excellent experience in a relaxed, unpretentious setting that captures the essence of Clapham Old Town.
