The Rake

The Rake
14a WInchester Walk
London SE1 9AG

After an hour or two spent gawking arond Borough Market, we stopped for a pint at The Rake before heading to Tate Modern. 

The Rake looked more like a little bar as opposed to your traditional English pub. Their outdoor seating abuts Borough Market, so I am sure that it gets quite busy here during the summer months.  DJKung and I were completely unfamiliar with the beers on tap, so we did a little taste test of a couple of their brews.  You gotta hand it to them, the brews we tried (mine was an IPA) were well balanced, smooth and refreshing.


The walls were autographed by some folks from various breweries.  The Rake carries a few Californian brews that we recognized. 


Yum yum yum... I wish we had time to sample a few more brews... The Rake has dozens and dozens of beers from all over.

Since we were en route to the Tate Modern, this was a cool little spot to chill out and take a break from all the sightseeing.  Cheers!
