user reviews of Hall's Beer Tavern, Paris
please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Bog standard kind of Parisienne attempt at an English pub that kind of gets half way there. Plenty of keg lager/Belgian headbang brews on tap (like the 9 per cent kwak Belgian headbang) and I ended up going for the Halls lager - which was probably as close to Carling Black as you'd get - at E6.50 a half litre. Okay for what it is I suppose - top end of the street has some pretty nasty looking hookers...if fat, tree trunk legs and ugly as a snub nosed pug is your thing then you're in for a treat Snarling_Mallard - 10 Apr 2019 23:10 |
I visited this hostelry during my crawl of 22nd November 2008. Around halfway up Rue St Denis, it lies in a fairly touristy area of the city but nevertheless it attracts a completely mixed clientele of all age groups, creeds and backgrounds. Visitors to the Hall's Beer Tavern will find a long, narrow, cavernous pub with plenty of rough exposed brickwork adding to the cave feel. The bar is on the right as you enter and tables for diners and drinkers form an aisle down the cave. Lighting levels comfortable, and the pub had been tastefully decorated for Christmas without overdoing things. There is an outside seating area in the front providing around 10 tables, sheltered beneath a tarpaulin. Television screens were displaying sport with the sound off while I was here. There are eight draught beers available including a novelty beer "Desperados" with a peculiar tequila flavour which indeed was an acquired taste! I quickly retreated to the comfort zone of De Koninck which actually was a good cadence to the session here. Also available were Guinness and Carling - I include these for completeness of review only! A very busy bar and kitchen here, food quality appeared impressive judging by the fullness of plates leaving the kitchen and the emptiness of those returning. A blackboard showed sandwiches available at between 4 and 5 euro for those not wishing to dine big time. Although not much English was spoken except between a group of US vacationers, I found sitting at the bar the best place to be this evening and a few choice words of French worked wonders especially when asking for the hoppiest beer available! The Hall's Beer Tavern merits a visit, even if only as part of a crawl through central Paris - 7/10 awarded with this review. lad_newton - 25 Nov 2008 21:05 |
