The Old Brewery

The Old Brewery, located next to the Discover Greenwich Visitor Centre, is a relaxed café during the day and a lively restaurant in the evening. There is also a cosy bar that serves hand drawn Meantime beers and a large alfresco courtyard.

The café, restaurant and bar are run by the Meantime Brewing Company. The brewery is a fine example of a historic building restored to its original function. There has been a brewhouse near to the site since 1717. It supplied the sailors cared for in the Royal Hospital for Seamen with their daily allowance of four pints of small, or weak, beer.

Opening times: The Old Brewery is open daily

Evening reservations for up to 6 guests can be made online. For more information visit www.oldbrewerygreenwich.com and to book for larger groups call 0203 327 1280 or email reservations@oldbrewerygreenwich.com
