Blondies Brewery — Punk, Pizza, and Pure Vibes Tucked away in Leyton, Blondies Brewery feels less like a bar and more like a mini music festival — minus the mud, plus killer pizza. It’s the younger sibling of the legendary Blondies in Clapton, and it carries the same rebellious spirit, just with more sunlight and outdoor tables.
Atmosphere: Industrial-chic space with foosball, loud tunes, and louder laughter Outdoor benches perfect for summer nights, spontaneous hangouts, and people-watching Feels like a punk Valhalla with a soft spot for good food and good company
Food: Pizza by Scando’s Pizzeria — not just bar food, but a genuine highlight Spicy Burrata Garlic Knots: warm, garlicky, creamy, with a hint of honey — dangerously addictive Margherita with San Marzano tomatoes and torn basil — unexpectedly elegant

One of the staff was serving another customer, whilst three other bar staff were just having a chat behind the bar and ignoring us. It was like we were invisible! I think one of them was one of the owners. We felt so unwelcome that we just walked out in the end....
