Ex-Firkin Originals — Bruce-era brewpubs
Three of David Bruce's original 1979–1988 brewpubs still trading today — the Bruce-era core, distinct from the post-1988 chain expansion. Old Ivy House (Pheasant & Firkin), The Phoenix (Phoenix & Firkin) and Fox & Firkin (the only one to keep the name). North to south: Clerkenwell → Denmark Hill → Lewisham.
