Sir Sydney Smith

Sir Sydney Smith Sir Sydney Smith is a quirky pub located in East London. Established in 1816 and named after a British Admiral of the Napoleonic Wars, this charming pub serves real ales, continental lagers, fine wines and great food freshly prepared in the open kitchen. It has been refurbished numerous times over its 200 year history but still retains its original atmosphere, making it one of the few remaining early 19th century pubs in the area. Enjoy a pleasant evening here with a tasty meal and your favourite beverage!

Well as good as though we think Guinness 0.0 is for a non alcoholic beer, we'd be surprised if any usual Guinness drinker can't tell the difference between that and the alcoholic version. We sell both, so come in and try for yourself!

Could you spot a "fake" pint? 🍺❌

​A recent blind taste test put the legendary original Guinness up against the alcohol-free Guinness 0. The results were shocking: nearly half of the tasters couldn't tell them apart, and one fiercely proud Irish journalist even guessed completely wrong!

​With non-alcoholic stouts getting this good, is it time to give the driver's pint a chance, or is nothing ever going to beat the real deal?

There is nothing quite like the atmosphere of a local to put the world to rights. 🍺🏠 It might not be a magic fix, but a proper pint in a dimpled glass certainly helps the mood! 😎👌
