Nice beer garden , great selection of ales . You an bring your own food into the beer garden from Borough Market (as long as you take your rubbish away). Great pub

Derick Rethans

Lovely place for beer . Available beerd change all the time and the staff is knowledgeable about the beers . 9 taps, plenty of bottles. There is a related bottle shop at nearby Borough Market .

Iain Munro

Want to drink something other than generic shit lager ? Come here. Lovely range of craft beers , knowledgable , friendly staff ...all in all a brilliant pub . Just needs a dog and a fireplace for top marks

Benjamin Bennett

Possibly one of THE best pubs in London . It does get totally rammed after work and you will be lucky to get a seat, but the clientele The Rake attracts are nice and friendly - basically no dickheads!

Doreen Joy

Compact in size but great selection of beers here. The Rake gets pretty busy after normal working hours but tends to quiet down when the suits have to catch their trains back home.

BeerBartender

Small, but interesting place. One of the best in London! During a sunny day, enjoy your pint in the small yard.. Loved the great selection of beers !

Simon K

Great selection of beer , very knowledgeable friendly folk serving it. Gets pretty busy, but overflows into the car park . You definitely go here for the beer rather than the er, ambiance!

Mike Brosche

Excellent bar with fantastic beer selection , can be a bit crowded on Friday and weekend nights given very small service area but friendly and knowledgeable staff get things done.

Clark Gillies

Excellent craft and real ale pub . Little pricy , but worth every penny. Easily my favourite pub in London and will be back

Sam Parker

Specialist beers sitting alongside their cask cousins are served by knowledgeable staff in this small bar at the edge of borough market . Try and see if your favourite brewer has signed the wall yet!

Sam M

Tiny and often crowded but ridiculously good beer selection , friendly staff and a nice place to escape from the madness of Borough Market . Not cheap , especially if you go for the limited US imports.

Mema Nackasha

Hidden pub on a busy day in London! Great beers and an entire car park worth of ‘beer garden ’ space

Jason

Great selection of interesting beers . Friendly staff , happy to let you try before you buy

Alejandro Lopez

Hidden spot inside Borough Market with small terrace and great selection of craft beers . Service isn't the best though.

Katia

Excellent beers that you don’t easily find elsewhere in London. The indoor space is small, but they have a beer garden

Gorka Guridi

Different kind of beers on tap and bottled. Notvery spacious but very good if you wanna try new things in central london.

BarChick

Choose from over 200 bottled beers , fifteen minutes walk from the station, it’s London’s smallest pub , but it has a heated beer garden out back for some fresh-air and a brew or two before your trip. Read more

Untappd

Amazing little place along the river , with a solid selection of brews. Also has beers to go! We love their tag-line: "No Crap on Tap ".

BarChick

This place is small in size and big on beer – in fact, it’s the smallest pub in London , so leave your fat mates at home http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/london/the-rake-bar

Andrew Hogue

Right at Borough Market is the Rake, one of the smallest pubs in London . Taps rotate and prices vary based on the brew; local ales usually run around £4 a pint. (via nytimes)

Chase

Quite crowded but the beer selection is fantastic both on tap and bottled. Love the location as well

BarChick

The pub itself is tiny, but if you go there on a sunny day then head out to the beer garden . With heaters in winter, these guys and their beers will look after you all year round Read more

Scott Foster

Best Craft Beer pub in London in the BEST market in London (Borough Market )

Hayden ????????

If you love craft beers you'll love this place. #nocrapontap

Chris Konecny

Tiny casual place with outside seating . More hidden from tourists than most bars in area. Great beers .

Paul Wright

Great selection of craft beer . A tad expensive . Quite small, but definitely worth a visit to try something unusual

Jon Bills

Friendly pub with a great selection of craft beers .

Billy Sayers

Beer selection is good and staff are helpful and more knowledgeable than your usual bar . Too many tramps begging outside later on though.

Andrew Howell

Go through the beer garden to the car park . It's in the sun and you can rest your beer on the bin!

Aaron Wieczorek

The beer selection is one of the best I've seen in London

Tom Edmunds

Great beer , knowledgeable staff and good location. Small size adds charm too

Cecilia Weckstrom

Great choice of craft beers - try the Nico if you like fresh pale ales

James Bates

Awesome selection of craft beer from the UK and USA. Tasty

James Strang

What a range of Cask & Craft Beer , the pub is very small with a small beer garden .

Andrew Morgan

Great selection of craft beers , and a great atmosphere

Liam Proven

One of the very best specialist beer pubs in London , with some fantastic rare tipples. Tiny, but fantastic. Read more

Burnley Dave

Oh dear, the grumpy Lancastrian has an unfeasible beard. DO NOT ask him for Guinness .

Morten Aastad

Seems to be a must go place for fans of Kernel and so on. So, obviously a place to head.

Gemma

Ace craft beers with 14 pumps on rotation, and a good selection of cans

Mike Estes

If you like beer , this is the place to be in London.

Mike Brosche

Great beer selection and knowledgeable staff

Michael Benedetto

If you'd like to take home a beer you tried, head to The Rakes off-licence in Borough Market called Utobeer.

Billy Sayers

Decent selection of craft beer .

Ian

Great constantly changing beer

B

Good craft beer selection

Meric V.

Classic English pub ,nice taps.

Milos Gajdos

Awesome selection of IPAs

Londonist

Smokers: great little 'secret passage' down the side of this pub , which doesn't lead anywhere but is a good place for a confidential chat and crafty cig.

Chris R (thechristophe)

People here like their beer . Odd service and not enough seating. But everyone is friendly .

Sidney Mortimer

Good value assortment of beers
