West End Brewery

Sadly the West End Brewery closed its doors for good on 31st October 2022 😢 It gets really busy on match days so be prepared. Tiny in house brewery produces a highly drinkable range of real ales. Super friendly team (they even gave us a peak behind the scenes) and freshly made nann bread pizza also available. Always on the list when doing the rounds of real pubs/bars in town

Very much enjoyed my visit here. A very friendly, but subdued atmosphere on my trip. Good music in the background and a wide variety of beer on tap and in the fridge with plenty of other drinks options available. Many beets made on site in the brewery and fresh on tap to enjoy. Freshly made pizzas available with a nice selection of toppings and very well priced throughout. Will definitely be visiting again and well worth the trip outside of Leicester city centre for a visit.

My second favourite boozer in Leicester. Boozer is not fair really, it's more of a bar, and a very nice bar it is too. Great selection of ales, discrete vaping allowed away from the bar, plus my pooch is allowed in too. Very knowledgeable staff, they brew their own beers too. It's a shame I don't live in Leicester, but my wallet thanks me for that. Will be back!

We use the West end brewery on a regular basis, the beer is great, I prefer the stout and my wife loves the choice of gins. The web is child friendly but not over run with small people, it's very dog friendly, snacks on the bar for our furry friends, the staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable about the beers, and I once saw Russ smile. Enjoy your visit!

Compact and popular public house. This is the Brewery tap of "The West End Brewery" who brew at the rear of the property. The public house itself is what was the former "Looking Glass" bar - which was a mirror shop before that. It sprawls across what were two narrow moderate length shops. Seating is mostly around small tables with some padded benches. Disabled accessible entrance but no disabled toilets (toilets are downstairs). Has the range of WEB's own beers as well as a good selection of guest beers as well as has beer festivals. Popular with young professionals and students (this is a student-heavy area as close to De Montfort University and it's associated student accommodation) as this area "The West End" is (currently) perceived as a trendy area! Popular with Real Ale devotees. Not open during day except Friday (from 2pm) and weekends (from 12pm) - 5pm opening is norm during week. Friendly, efficient, knowledgable staff. No beer garden but there is an (assembled and temporary) outside seating/smoking area at front of property on Braunstone Gate. No car park but on-street parking available in adjoining streets BUT it is VERY limited as Residents parking zones predominate in this area and you have to compete with users of the other facilities in the area.
