About Dainton Taphouse - Croydon

Fresh pints, open kitchen heat, and an easygoing warehouse pulse make this Croydon taphouse an effortless call for group hangouts. Wood and iron fixtures frame the energetic dining floor, anchored by fresh pours spanning mosaic-heavy West Coast IPAs to crisp house brews. Regulars make a point of pairing their glasses with crunchy mac and cheese croquettes or a peppered burger with house-brew beer-battered chips, doused in the kitchen's signature blood orange IPA hot sauce. Past the busy bar, a dedicated game room fitted with a pool table and claw machines keeps birthday bashes and team get-togethers rolling well into the evening.

  • Beer-Infused Pub Classics: House-brewed beer makes its way into the kitchen across beer-battered chips and an inventive blood orange IPA hot sauce.
  • Dedicated Game Room: A dedicated on-site space features a pool table and claw machines right alongside table service.
  • Celebratory Group Hosting: Spacious layout and attentive hospitality readily accommodate group outings, sports break-ups, and milestone events.
