The Rake

“The Rake is my local in London!” exclaims one of the many brewers’ signatures sprawled across the wall at this tiny but impressive specialty beer bar on the edge of Borough Market. Opened in 2006 by Richard Dinwoodie and Mike Hill, owners of Utobeer, The Rake is a truly phenomenal hophead haven featuring 10 ever-changing taps and an average of 130 bottled beers from across the globe. Patrons can try to snag a spot in the small, sparsely adorned bar area or head outside to the cozy heated patio to swill perfectly poured pints and munch on market-bought bar snacks.
