Macintosh Ales

In the running for the smallest pub in London, you'll find Macintosh Ales' ale house in a Steptoe and Son-worthy stable yard on a Stoke Newington sidestreet. Opened in 2023, this tiny one room boozer is truly independent, and there are only two kinds of small batch beer on offer, both made by Macintosh Ales - which started life in a garage in 2018. It's only open Thurs-Sun, but on sunny afternoons locals in the know spill out onto the cobbles outside. A gem.
