Real Drinks

Real drinks has been our local hideout for the past 4 months. It offers good beer, good wine and most importantly a great community in an area that really needs one.

The staff are friendly and knowledgable and listen to requests for things you like.

Pssst. Keep this one hush-hush. This place is Fabulous! But dont tell anyone vecause I wanna keep this precious place all to myself!

Friendly and helpful staff, an insane choice of beers and wine. Far too easy to hang out here for an afternoon.

What a great place. They are very attentive, and offer suggestions on what we were looking to drink. Great beer selection in bottles/cans as well as 8 beers on tap. Also a great selection of wine. We will be back, even bought a bottle of hot sauce.

Great little shop with massive selection of beers and wine. Dog friendly but only if your dog likes the extremely friendly live in dog. Really like the addition to the area. Also do a points scheme for regular customers

Nice selection of wines and beers. Reasonably priced. Two tables outside to enjoy drinks as weather permits. Serves both eat in and take away.

A looooot of beers!!!! And fresh and new pints!!!! Great service and the snacks suit perfectly the atmosphere of the place!
Everyone here is available to get you the best and most suitable beer you might want.

Great local bottle shop. Always a decent selection on tap and a wide selection of wines. Also a great spot for two or five beers with friends over small nibs. Loyalty programme is also great!

Although a small shop, there is always a good range of beers on tap and the fridges are well-stocked. The staff are knowledgeable too. Ask for a loyalty card.

Taps are a bit limited (7 ?) but with a good selection. Nice choice of cans. Not many seats upstairs

What an incredible little beer and wine shop. I came to stalk up on quality beer and wine and sip a few drafts while I browsed. The staff is super friendly and chatted me up about local beer and beer where I'm from. I also got some great recommendations for wine and ended up getting six bottles, all very reasonably priced. I hope to drink all this beer and wine quickly so I have an excuse to go back before my vacation is over!

Chloe is an absolute sweetheart. Came here with the significant other left with amazing cider experiences and fantastic Corsican wines. If you want great advice, constant customer service or a heartwarming chat - ask for Chloe!

Great natural wines and very affordable corkage to drink it there! Great vibes & people too! Will definitely come back.

I’ve been coming to real drinks for at least a year now for high quality wine and beer. Recent visit was with Alex and Scott who were on point with their recommendations and made it a great night while we sampled their wares in store. Will be back soon!!

Great selection, lovely place & great staff

I was visiting the Maida Vale area a few days ago and I stumbled across this shop from Realale who are all-knowing around the latest craft beer trends. The shop has a relaxed atmosphere and a really wide selection of beers for all tastes. You can drink in or take away. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. They listened to what kind of beers I like and made some suggestions which were all spot on.

Great staff. Last day in my london trip.

Quite simply one of my favourite places in London. Great beer and they even have special beer biscuits for dogs.

Great neighbourhood bar and beer shop, with very friendly and enthusiastic staff. There is an extensive selection of wines and craft beers, plus a good number of taps with rotating kegs. You can choose to take away; otherwise it's a nice, cozy place to sit in and enjoy a drink. You can also take away draught beers in bottles (a.k.a "growlers"). Look out for the Formosa Pale Ale, brewed exclusively for the shop, alongside stock from all over the world.

Beer boutique with some onsite tables and some outside tables,too. Loyalty card (electronic now?) and great selection of various alcohol from microbreweries, etc. Very friendly service and great location.

A local gem. Never seen a better selection of alcohol in my life. Staff are incredibly warm and helpful to anyone overwhelmed by the selection. On the expensive side but you definitely get what you pay for.
