The Beer House

Hidden at Waterloo Station, this is a small pub where you can get drinks and some food before heading off out of London or have a drink with colleagues or friends before you head home within London. You barely notice it, but it's next to the tube entrance. The staff is friendly and nice and it's a clean pub!

Watched the England v Croatia semi final here. There was nowhere near enough seats but we did manage to find a seat after a while. Cosy place with a great atmosphere but that may have been down to the match. They were not serving any food which was very disappointing. Also, the toilets were all out of order! Drinks were priced as you'd expect from the location.

A subterranean bar tucked away in the corner of Waterloo Station. I often find myself escaping the bustle of the station and waiting for my train down here. It's a nice clean setting which is subdivided into several distinct seating areas, there is normally a decent selection of beers on offer and they offer taster glasses of 1/3rd of a pint if you fancy trying a few. Occasionally it can be pretty busy (standing room only) but I usually find a seat. If you put this place on my local high street I would probably have given it a 3* rating, it's nice but it won't blow you away. However, I'm giving it an extra star as it is better than most transit hub based bars I've frequented elsewhere.

If your stuck because your train has been cancelled, then what better way to pass the time than have a pint? Much more enjoyable than standing on the concourse and getting a stiff neck from looking up at the departure boards. This pub also has a very good selection of lagers and ales too which was a pleasant surprise. Only issue is it is downstairs and can get rather stuffy.
