The take
The Take
The Vibe
Lagom at Hackney Church Brew Co presents an industrial, deliberately informal taproom anchored in a railway-arch setting. Nave-like beams and long refectory benches give the interior architectural heft while the visible adjacent brewery reminds you this is a drink-led operation. The tone is unfussy and considered: design details nod to ecclesiastical structure without slipping into formality, and the service counter reads like a functional focal point rather than a stage. Overall, the room feels like a modern, industrial gathering place where craft beer and open-flame cooking intersect in a relaxed, communal atmosphere.
Best For
This is best for relaxed, group-friendly outings and casual hangouts where beer is the main attraction. The long communal benches make it well suited to groups that want to share plates and linger over pints, and the kitchen’s emphasis on fire-cooked food ensures dinner service holds its own against the brewery’s lineup. It also works for afternoon sessions — the programming and beer selection are oriented toward approachable IPAs, lagers and pilsners that suit lingering conversation rather than formal meals.
Ordering Tips
Order with the brewery’s output in mind: IPAs are described as having bitterness to cut through fire-cooked meats, pilsners are noted as clean partners for lighter vegetable dishes, and lagers are positioned for session drinking. The venue emphasizes beer first but notes other drinks are available, so expect a supporting list of spirits and soft drinks rather than an extensive wine program. Seating is communal, so plan for an informal, shared-table experience rather than a formal, plated meal.

Bar context
How it compares in East London
Choose Lagom at Hackney Church Brew Co when the priority is an easy Hackney stop with brewery energy and low booking pressure. 107 Wine Bar is the better cross-shop for a wine-led evening, while Newcomer Wines makes more sense when the bottle list is the point of the night.
Bright is the stronger pick for a more food-focused plan, especially if the group wants the evening to revolve around the table rather than the bar setting. The Prince Arthur is the more pub-like alternative, better for a classic local feel and less need to explain the plan to a mixed group.
Netil House (Creative Workspace) is the better option when the evening is tied to a broader creative or social setting. Lagom is easier to justify when staying close to Hackney Central and keeping the night flexible.
