The pub is found in Hackney, Greater London, E8 1DU.

A micro-brewery and tap room located in a double railway arch in central Hackney, in an area that has been designated a ‘food and drink hub’. Opened in late-May 2018. Established as St John at Hackney Brewery but renamed in March 2019 in case anyone should mistake the premises for a branch of the St John's fancy meat restaurants. There is a spacious indoor seating area beside the brewing equipment, a kitchen specialising in a kebab menu, and outdoor bench seating to the rear. No cask-conditioned beer is sold here, but some beer comes straight from the tanks. Open daily except Monday.

We have visited this pub 19 times, seen 29 different beers and tried 28 of them.
