Mother Kelly’s Bethnal Green

A fantastic beer venue, probably a must-visit place for a beer geek visiting London. Great range of beers on tap (keg) with an emphasis on London and UK breweries. They do 1/3 pours, which is great. Decent prices. Several fridges loaded with cans and bottles of all beer styles, including some continental European stuff (Germany, Belgium, etc.). Staff is usually quite pleasant and efficient. Lots of seating indoors and also a big outdoor patio area. Great place to check out.

22 different kinds of craft beer on tap!

My favourite one is The London Black, nitro porter. The head is so smooth and almost like buttery. It tastes like chocolate and dried dates.

It’s a very short walk from Bethnal Green tube station and there are 4 other restaurants in Paradise Row.

They have small selections of cold appetisers, but no hot food, so we can bring some food in from the
next doors.

The atmosphere is very nice. There are plenty of seatings inside and out. It’s great to hang out with small and large groups of friends.

Weekends are pretty busy, but I highly recommend to try The London Black if you like Guinness type of beer.

A pleasant 'under the arches' beer shop and pub with 21 keg craft beers from a wide variety of brewers, the bar team are pleasant and helpful, altogether a good afternoon out in Paradise (Row).
For you youngsters, a female impersonator called Danny la Rue, who was very popular with our grandmas, had a minor hit in 1968 with an old song "on Mother Kelly's doorstep (down Paradise Row), hence the name. The bar is far better than the song, look it up on U-Tube if you don't believe me.

Serves a really wide selection of beers from across the UK and beyond - I also think there is a foray into wine from the fridges inside. Prices can be steep for some of the more niche beers but that is to be expected from London. Lots of outdoor seating and lovely on a summer's evening!

Great craft beer bar I can't believe I have never been here before. Staff nice and friendly and very attentive. It's in a great location not too far from Bethnal Green tube station and has a great selection of beer and cider on tap or in a bottle or can. They have quite of few large fridges full of bottles of beer from several different countries and different styles so I am sure you will find something you like. There is also lots of seating inside as well as outside. Food wise when we went there they had cheese board, meat board or a mixed board which we didn't try but I definitely plan another visit to try them

Great selection of beer the guys working there are prepared and can suggest interesting beers if you ask.

Cheese mix maybe a little bit expensive for the quantity (11£) but maybe it's just my opinion.

Nice atmosphere to meet with friends.

15/10/22: literally one of my favourite places on out Bethnal Green Ale Trail. Quite busy inside and out, fantastic friemdly service. Awesome choice of craft ales, you can't go wrong. Had a great atmosphere and vibe. Dog friendly, which speaks volumes. Had a few tasters and then selected the Yonder Raspberry gose as my favourite. The Anspach & Hobday Nitro Porter was epic and balanced each other very well. The Kernel Brewery Biere du Saison Apricot was as sour as they come. The Orbit Hakata Red Ale was very palletable.

Mother Kelly's is under that arches and housed in the converted arch. It's a New York inspired tap room and bottle shop, stocking wares from independent breweries at affordable prices. Thirds, halves, two thirds, schooners, pints, bottle, cans and growlers.......

I visit every year when a friend comes over from Oz. It has an excellent selection of craft beers, both on tap and from the fridge. It's not cheap, but the staff are always friendly, there's ample seating both inside and out and the burger place next door delivers to your table. Hard to fault.
