Ruby Grand

At the far end of Hammersmith's busy King Street, Ruby Grand is one of a small chain along with sister Ruby bars in King's Cross (the original) and Notting Hill (see Ruby & Sequoia). This large premises has been given the gastro treatment complete with flocked wallpaper and food. Perhaps best of all it (certainly a bonus in the summer), it includes a spacious beer garden out the back. A barbecue lunch adds to the food options in summer with meat and as much salads and sides as you can pile on to your plate. It may look like a tarted up old boozer but the real beer fans are kept happy with decent brews like London Pride and Deuchars IPA on tap.
