Here’s Every London Pub Where You Can Get a Free Pint This Week
Cheers to free beer, sunny evenings, and a very generous birthday celebration across London’s favourite boozers.
There’s something magical about finishing work, the sun still shining, and knowing there’s a free pint waiting for you. If you’ve been dreaming of just that kind of midweek pick-me-up, here’s your perfect excuse to hit the pub: Craft Union – a beloved chain of pubs across the UK – is celebrating its 10th anniversary in the best way possible… by giving away 10,000 free pints this Wednesday, May 14.
Yes, you read that right. Thousands of people across the UK will be raising a glass to Craft Union this week – and in London alone, there are dozens of pubs taking part in the giveaway. All you need to do is show up early, ask for your freebie, and enjoy a well-earned drink.
Here’s everything you need to know – and a complete list of every London Craft Union pub giving away free drinks.
What’s the deal?
Craft Union is turning ten, and to mark the occasion, they’re giving away 10,000 free drinks across the UK. Each of their pubs has a set allocation, and it’s first-come, first-served – so if you want in, get down to your local early.
You’ll be able to choose from:
A pint of Birra Moretti
A Gordon’s gin and tonic
Or a Coca-Cola-supplied soft drink
It’s one free drink per person, so don’t expect to keep going back for rounds – but hey, a free drink is still a free drink.
Where can I claim my free drink?
That’s the exciting part: Craft Union has more than 60 pubs across Greater London participating in the giveaway. Whether you’re in Hackney or Harrow, Bethnal Green or Bromley, chances are there’s a boozer nearby pouring pints for free.
From well-loved locals like the Old Oak in Hampstead to city centre gems like the Sea Horse on Fleet Street, these pubs will be the place to be this Wednesday.

Tips for getting your free drink
Arrive early: There’s a set limit per pub, and once the drinks are gone, they’re gone.
Know what you’re ordering: Choose between a Birra Moretti, Gordon’s G&T, or Coca-Cola soft drink.
Keep it casual: One drink per person – it’s all about celebrating, not bingeing.
Bring a mate: It’s more fun when you’re toasting with someone.
Double check availability: While these pubs are on the list, it’s worth calling ahead if you're making a trip just for the offer.
