Craft Brew and Co holds a corner of Catchick Street in Kennedy Town, a beer led bar about three minutes on foot from the MTR station. OpenRice and Yelp reviewers point to the same identity, a room for people who want labels they have never tried rather than the usual lagers.
Who would love it: craft beer drinkers and groups after a relaxed pint and a grill plate. Who would hate it: anyone hoping for cocktails or a quiet date, since this is a social beer bar first.
The mission is on the wall. The bar runs under a blunt motto, no Carlsberg, no Stella, no San Miguel, which sets the tone for a list built on character beers instead of the big commercial names.
The taps and fridges carry the program. Craft Brew and Co keeps a rotating range of beers with flavor and body, leaning into styles that reward a guest who wants the bartender to explain what is pouring that week.
The kitchen keeps it simple and good. Grilled gourmet sausages, lean and made with natural casings, are the signature plate, and they hold up well across a few rounds.
The layout suits a crowd. The room works for groups and gets going at happy hour, so it tends to fill with a after work and weekend mix rather than a single drinker at the bar.
The location is easy. Sitting on Catchick Street a short walk from Kennedy Town Station, the bar is a simple first or last stop on a night around the western end of the island.
The hours run long. Craft Brew and Co opens at midday and runs to midnight across the week, which covers a slow afternoon pint as well as a late round.
Asking the bar is the way in. With the list changing often, telling the bartender a style, hoppy, dark or sour, is the quickest route to the right glass on a given visit.
The sausage and beer pairing is the move. A grill plate alongside a fresh pour turns a quick stop into a proper sitting, which is what the room is built for.
Timing helps on weekends. The corner draws a steady crowd on Friday and Saturday nights, so an earlier seat or a weekday visit makes the bar easier to work.
