THE Distillers, Hammersmith

Could the Regal Room be London's best kept secrect? Ive lived in West London for 15 years and went to the Regal Room at The Distillers for the first time last night and had a great time. The live music was fantastic in a really intimate and respectable way. If you book early you can reserve one of a dozen or so tables between the cosy bar and the small stage. The host Tony Moore was fantastic musically and also in terms of his care for the acts and the audience alike. The small upstairs bar was well stocked with various bottled bears from around the globe, apple and pear ciders a couple of beers on tap, a decent wine list and all the usual spirits. Some friends ordered food and I have to say the Fish and Chips looked pretty good.As for the main pub it was really busy when we walked in with a large friday night work crowd and there wasnt a free seat to be seen so i cant really comment, but it looked like everyone in there was having a good time! If you like live music in a great intimate venue that can offer good food and beer at decent prices head to the regal room on one of the nights it has live music. Im sure am going to again very soon!
