Great little bar. I was stopping overnight for business close by and out on my lonesome. Bobbed in for a quick pint and ended up staying for a few hours chatting with other punters. Great beer and great atmosphere in a mall! Who’d have thought :) well worth a sneaky pint after work.

Great little craft beer spot with an excellent beer selection. Staff was very nice and helpful. Takeaway beers were excellently priced as well! I do feel like the inside could use some stylistic improvement, but that onus is on the owner 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's a great little taproom considering it's part of a shopping centre. My one gripe is that they are not checking stock regularly enough. I just grabbed a can to take out and paid full price for an out of date can! That's a big red flag for me. I will think about hitting up beer merchants tap or Mother kellys in the future. EDIT: They came back to me in less than 24hrs. Truly great customer service there! I declined the refund and took the replacement beer. Great stuff.

I had very high hopes for this place, but sadly, it didn't live up to expectations. The selection of beers was ok, but there wasn't a great amount of choice, particularly in cans. I like a good hazy IPA between 6-8% and there wasn't anything in that range. The overall atmosphere, too, is a bit different to most tap taprooms. Kids area right outside or being connected to a shopping centre maybe didn't help?! Might be me being fussy!!!

Great range of beers, some quite expensive, but mid-range to cheaper brews are available. Needs a few more stouts. Staff pleasant. Styled well, but basically very much a no frills venue. Stools are torture to sit on and overall comfort needs to be improved, but will visit again. Very convenient for Stratford International or a quick beer at the end of a long day..

What a find. Totally unexpected in a shopping mall, across the ground floor (weirdly labelled -1 in the lift) from Stratford International Station (weirdly labelled as an international station). Great range of beers and even brilliant bar snacks. Sensibly priced too. Result. I shall return.

Very good brewery tap in Westlands Shopping Centre at Stratford. Two cask beers - and two ciders - on handpump when I last visited including the house stout. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Great selection of quality beers from all over. Takeaway prices for beers are astoundingly cheap! Well worth a visit, even if just to grab a beer (or five) for onward travel. I didn't sample any food, but it seems to be perfect to complement a good beer.

Tap East is for beer lovers what a bookshop is for bookworms! Had several fantastic beers and loved the ambiance. My only wish is that they had a food menu, even if just a few items. Will be back my next time in London

I'd describe this as a micropub. It's situated at rear entrance of Westfield so it's a perfect spot to grab a quick drink and some respite from the stuffy heat and crowds of the mall. Cool. Literally airy and coo that is,l with a few comfy couches to sink into. We just had a couple of cappuccinos which were spot on and 2/3 pint of the locally brewed session IPA. The draught ales come as 1 pint, 2/3 pint, 1/2 pint and 1/3 pint - I've never seen that before and it's a great idea. Has some outdoor seating too. This was a quiet Tuesday lunchtime so it wasnt busy and was very tranquil but I'd guess it must get busy at evenings, weekends and on matchdays.
