Local tips
- Arrive early on weekends or event nights to secure outdoor terrace seating with canal views, as the venue fills quickly.
- Check the events calendar before visiting—live music performances vary nightly, and some nights feature private hire or themed events that may affect public access.
- Bring earplugs if you're sensitive to loud music; the venue's sound system is excellent but can reach high volumes during performances.
- Combine your visit with a walk along Regent's Canal towpath—the venue sits perfectly positioned for canal-side exploration and connects to broader East London cycling routes.
- Try the house beers rather than guest selections to experience what Signature Brew's own brewers have created; the Roadie All Night IPA and Nightliner coffee porter are particularly distinctive.

A Railway Arch Reimagined as Creative Hub
Nestled beneath a Victorian railway arch at 340 Acton Mews, Signature Brew Haggerston occupies one of East London's most atmospheric spaces. The exposed brick walls, industrial architecture, and proximity to Regent's Canal create an authentically gritty yet welcoming environment that feels worlds away from conventional bars. The venue's location on the emerging Blackhorse Beer Mile positions it as a cornerstone of Hackney's craft beverage renaissance, drawing locals, canal-side cyclists, and visitors seeking genuine London character.Craft Beer at the Source
The defining feature of Signature Brew is the opportunity to drink beer brewed steps away from where you sit. The taproom showcases the brewery's core range—Roadie All Night IPA, Studio Pilsner, Backstage IPA, and Nightliner coffee porter—alongside rotating guest beers and an extensive drinks menu featuring cocktails, wines, and spirits. The freshness of the beer and the transparency of the brewing process create a direct connection between drinker and maker that elevates the experience beyond typical pub visits. Staff demonstrate genuine knowledge about the brews, enhancing appreciation for the craft.Live Events and Cultural Programming
Signature Brew's identity is inseparable from live music and performance. The venue hosts regular gigs, comedy nights, quizzes, and DJ sets throughout the week, with weekends dedicated to larger events and social gatherings. The brewery's history includes collaborations with renowned artists including Mastodon, Alt-J, Mogwai, Frank Turner, and Enter Shikari, reflecting a commitment to supporting the music community. A world-class D&B Audiotechnik sound system ensures excellent audio quality, though visitors should note that live music can reach considerable volumes—earplugs are thoughtfully provided at the bar.Spaces for Every Occasion
The venue comprises multiple areas designed for different experiences. The main taproom features substantial indoor seating and standing room with brick-lined walls and industrial fixtures. The newly refurbished terrace overlooking Regent's Canal provides an outdoor escape with canal views and fresh air, ideal for warmer months. A cobbled street frontage adds to the venue's street-level appeal. The space accommodates up to 180 people, making it suitable for intimate gatherings or larger celebrations, with private hire options available.Food and Hospitality
The on-site kitchen, operated by 7Bone, serves burgers, wings, loaded fries, and other substantial fare designed to complement the beer selection. The food menu reflects quality standards consistent with the brewery's approach to craft. The venue welcomes external catering for private events, demonstrating flexibility for customized occasions. Booking options are available through multiple platforms, and the team actively supports private functions and corporate gatherings.Accessibility and Practical Considerations
Located near Haggerston rail station, the venue is accessible via public transport and welcomes dogs. The railway arch setting and industrial aesthetic are integral to its charm but may present considerations for those with mobility challenges—visitors with accessibility requirements are encouraged to contact the venue directly. The terrace provides weather protection through covered areas, though the outdoor space remains subject to London's variable climate.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
