The Cock Tavern, Hackney

The Cock is much improved since being reborn as a very simple and honest real ale and micro brew pub with an equally impressive range of ciders and perries. A micro plant exists in the basement churning out Firkins of local and varied beers under the brand "Howling Hops". All drinkable and pleasant but could be a tad cheaper... However this is a buzzing boozer in the heart of Hackney. Very trendy croud but all friendly and welcoming. So many pubs in the locality have been lost recently which makes the Cock even more precious. Recommend.
