Hiver Taproom hires out three spaces under the railway arches of the Bermondsey Beer Mile, for groups of 40 to 120 guests. The taproom takes 110 seated or 120 standing, the events space 80 seated or 110 standing and the tasting room 40 seated or 50 standing. The venue is at 56 Stanworth Street in London, near Tower Bridge and London Bridge. It is run by Hiver Beers, a brewery known for honey beer, and organisers can add a tasting, a workshop or a beekeeping session to the booking.
Seminars and company events
The team offers meeting room hire and describes private rooms fitted with a PA system and a projector or TV. The Tasting Room is the natural choice for a work meeting of up to 40 seated, with a TV and PA. The Events Space has side arches and a large open floor, which suits an awards evening, a product showcase or a film screening. The Taproom, with two spaces and big screens, suits a team party or a Christmas event. Hiver also sells corporate days built around beekeeping, tutored beer and cider tastings, and honey or cider workshops. These can take place at the arch or at other locations in London, Surrey and Sussex.
Weddings and receptions
A wedding reception with a band or karaoke is one of the uses the venue lists for its spaces. The team puts a package together on request. Hiver's sister venue, Fabal Beerhall on Druid Street, is also promoted for weddings and takes 120 seated or 250 standing, which may suit a larger guest list.
Rooms and capacities
Hiver Taproom holds 110 seated and 120 standing. The Events Space, in the neighbouring arch, holds 80 seated and 110 standing. The Tasting Room holds 40 seated and 50 standing. A private karaoke room is also hired out: the site gives groups of 10 to 50 guests, with a built-in karaoke system, a screen, microphones and a PA, and a comparison table that mentions up to 40 people. The venue offers viewings so that organisers can compare the three spaces before choosing.
The Taproom has a large beer garden, described as the biggest in London Bridge, and is dog friendly. Half of the space is held back for walk-ins on public opening days, so a private booking is the way to secure the room.
Catering
The bar serves Hiver beers, cider, cocktails, English wines and soft drinks. Guests are welcome to bring street food from nearby Maltby Street Market with a drink, and food can be ordered in. The site does not list an in-house kitchen.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms on site. Hotels are available around London Bridge and Bermondsey.
History and setting
Hiver began in 2013 beside Maltby Street Market and sits about halfway along the Bermondsey Beer Mile, a trail of railway-arch breweries and taprooms. Its sister venue Fabal Beerhall opened in 2024 as a specialty lager venue.
Getting there
