The pub is found in Woolwich, Greater London, SE18 6GD.

Opened on 22nd October 2015 in the Woolwich Arsenal development in Major Draper Street at the end of a terrace next to the Tesco Express. Down the alley to the right of the Dial Arch pub then turn right. Downstairs is a low ceilinged bar with bare brick walls, uncovered ventilation ducting and a long bar with initially 8 handpumps but then only 4 and now just 2. Up a spiral staircase for extra seating and a dining area selling pizza based comestibles. Effectively initially the tap for the nearby Hop Stuff Brewery which eventually only produced keg beers. No longer sold cask ale. Subsequently taken over by Molson Coors when Hop Stuff went awry and now sold to Salt of Yorkshire in November 2021. January 2022 and 2 handpumps are in use but by 2023 they were no longer in use with cask ale discontinued here. Cask ale reinstated later in 2023.

We have visited this pub 16 times, seen 45 different beers and tried 19 of them.
