The Clapton Hart dates back to the 18th Century. Originally the White Hart Hotel in 1722, it was rebuilt in the 1830s after it was destroyed by fire and again in 1890 as a brewery pub. Over four centuries it has traded as Stagecoach Inn, Public House and under several identities as a nightclub, eventually closing in 2008. We began a refurbishment project restoring many of its original and unique features. After months of renovation, we re-opened the newly named Clapton Hart in May 2012.
Situated by the roundabout next to Clapton Pond, the Clapton Hart is a friendly pub serving the local community. Every effort was made to maintain the pub’s original aesthetics, with the addition of a large beer garden, The Hart is bright and spacious with bare-brick walls and high ceilings yet still cosy enough to find a cosy corner to play board games or snuggle up to an open fire.
A modest sized bar is home to eight Cask hand-pumps and several guest kegs. Our main focus being an evolving drink range showcasing Craft Beer and Real Ale from microbreweries in East London to worldwide, featuring Hackney Brewery, Beavertown, Saltaire, Pressure Drop and many more.
Our kitchen serves British food, seasonal specials, vegetarian & vegan dishes and hand-crafted bar snacks. Sunday Roasts are ever popular and are best consumed alongside our legendary home-infused Bloody Marys.
We host regular events such as a weekly Pub Quiz as well as DJs every Friday night and Saturdays with local and international guest selectors. Please check our ‘Events’ page and ask staff for more details.
