A sports pub on Stratford Broadway, open plan, big screens, stone-baked pizzas. Less of a shrine than the Carpenter's Arms, more of a straightforward watch-the-game boozer. Known for karaoke and DJ nights when there is no football on.
The spot
The Abbey Tap sits right on Stratford Broadway, a couple of minutes from Stratford station. It is a modern sports pub: open plan, plenty of screens, stone-baked pizzas and a crowd that is there to watch football. On West Ham home matchdays it gets loud and busy, with screens dedicated to the game and food available if the Carpenter's Arms queue is too long.
Best moment to visit
Heads up: the pub fills fast once the matchday crowd arrives. Arrive early or you will be standing.

Local tip 🇬🇧
Stratford station is two minutes away. If you are running late, jump on the DLR or a bus toward Pudding Mill Lane or Hackney Wick rather than walking the full 20 minutes.
For a no-nonsense West Ham matchday pub with screens, food and a lively crowd, the Abbey Tap is a strong pick on Stratford Broadway.
