The Malt Haus is a new venue, social hub and community space in Walthamstow from the Pillars Brewery team. Part of the working brewery, it’s also a bar that showcases malt-based drinks, including beers from independent breweries and whiskey. There’s also an iceblock ageing cellar on site and a kitchen, which’ll be hosting residencies from guest chefs. The team have taken inspo from 60s and 70s listening bars and cocktail lounges for the Malt Haus, and as well as taking design cues from that era, it also has a low-tech feel – it’s all about conversation, connection and enjoying hospitality here.
