Long Arm

Craft Beer Haven for Sports Enthusiasts

If one were to meticulously map the anatomy of a sports haven with a penchant for beer aficionados, Long Arm Worship Street might appear defiantly on that diagram—with a parasol of skyward glasses glittering precariously outside. As its vast array of TVs broadcasting sports promise allegiance to fans, it is immediately apparent that Long Arm positions itself as the very cornerstone of camaraderie. The industrial-chic decor cleverly pays homage to both the pub's close proximity to the accommodations of the Montcalm Hotel and the broader cityscape of London. Friendly banter blends seamlessly with wafts from burgers on the grill, beckoning visitors with scintillating aromas that are bound to summon those beyond even the most disciplined intent.

Bearing beer so personal they're practically extended family, Long Arm exudes the charm one might expect from a solid English taproom. Their freshly brewed suds—exceptionally adorable when paired with a £10 lunchtime burger deal—offer even the skeptical beer drinker an adventurous twist through hoppy horizons. While staff orchestrates this theatrical California American-ish brewpub experience with honest intentions, occasional hiccups can't mar the prevailing sense of chilled hospitality that appeals with casual congeniality. Gathering here becomes even more compelling during game days, where locals move as shadows in synchronized appreciation. Sporadic missteps, like unusually chilly mozzarella balls or elusive WiFi signals, fade into minor sore points amid an otherwise flavorful and exuberant collective. Wings are permissible here—not only the kind found by the plateful but metaphorically for the thirst quenching quest at hand. — Clarissa Cuisinier
