33 Downham Road, De Beauvoir Town, London, N1 5AA (View on Google Map)

The original home of the Beavertown brewery (see picture of Dukes) the pub shut its doors in Oct 2017 (see below) and re-opened as part of the small Beef & Brew chain offering one changing cask on handpump and up to 10 craft kegs.

Closed again in July 2019 and reopened following a complete refurbishment in October 2019 including relocation of the bar and a change back to the original name. Sadly real ale was removed although there is wide selection of keg beers.

The ground floor and cellar of this former Enterprise pub had reopened February 2012 after five years' closure initially with beers brewed on site from Beavertown Brewery. The upper floors were converted to flats.

Clousure of Duke's - "This announcement might seem like it’s coming out of the blue, but the decision has been far from easy. It’s been a very challenging, lengthy process but the conclusion is that we close Duke’s immediately. There is no hidden scandal or drama behind the decision. Since we opened Duke’s, London’s beer and BBQ scene has changed immensely and as a business is now no longer a natural fit for Beavertown’s future.

It’s with a heavy, emotional heart we say goodbye. Duke’s is where it all began. Logan brewed his first batches of Gamma Ray, Neck Oil, Smog Rocket, 8 Ball and Black Betty in the kitchen. The ‘Beer and BBQ’ combo paved the way to putting the foundations of Beavertown in place. Duke’s shouldered the first salaries for Team Beaver which allowed us to brew a little more beer, move to Hackney Wick and eventually Tottenham Hale where we have since morphed into the brewery we are so proud of today."
