In two historic railway arches close to Borough Market, this combined brewpub and food court is a collaboration between musician Ben Lovett’s Venue Group and Lagunitas, one of the US breweries owned by Heineken.
Lagunitas was founded as an independent craft brewery in 1993 in the town of the same name in California’s Bay Area, though moved a year later to Petaluma not far away. In 2014, it opened a second production site in Chicago, Illinois. Heineken bought 50% of the company in 2015 and the remainder in 2017.
On first opening, the London venue was known as St Felix Place. It closed temporarily over the holiday period of 2021-22 and reopened in January with reconfigured outdoor space under the name Flat Iron Square. The ownership remained the same, though staff from Brixton brewery, a Heineken subsidiary, later took over the brewing, but it seems activity ceased in spring 2022 and has not yet been revived.
Beers were in keg and sold on site. The bar also sells Lagunitas-branded beers from elsewhere and other Heineken brands like Beavertown and Brixton.
