Milos' Craft Beer Emporium does not own a television. For a downtown London craft-beer bar that moves more than 250 beers through its taps and fridges, that is a deliberate piece of design — the volume belongs to conversation, and the draught board does the talking. Owner Milos Kral built Pub Milos that way in 2012: a cellar and a from-scratch European kitchen under one roof, turning out schnitzel under a sunny-side egg, short-rib goulash with a Czech bread dumpling, and a Reuben board on sixteen-hour smoked brisket.
The European spine runs deep. The schnitzel is fried pork loin layered with spätzle, bacon, kraut and hollandaise; chicken paprikash comes under paprika gravy with more spätzle; currywurst is smoked bratwurst with curry ketchup and fries; a Danish smørrebrød sets roasted short rib on topinka. The Reuben board stacks the smoked brisket with peppercorn mornay, Russian dressing and red sauerkraut, and a prime New York strip arrives with frites and green peppercorn mornay. The Milos Cheeseburger — the current form of a burger reputation the place has carried for years — is dressed with IPA cheese, pickle, onion, lettuce and mac sauce.

European Pub Plates With Local Pub Energy

Conversation-First Downtown Room
Milos Kral's pub is framed around local beer culture, personal connection, and first-come pub hospitality rather than a polished reservation-room experience.

How to eat at Milos' Craft Beer Emporium
1
Order the Milos Cheeseburger Around the First Pint
Start with the Milos Cheeseburger if you want the shortest route into what the kitchen does well. IPA cheese and mac sauce make it feel built for the beer list, while the familiar format keeps the meal grounded.
2
Build a European Pub Spread With Schnitzel and Goulash
If the group is sharing, point the order toward Schnitzel, Short Rib Goulash, and the Reuben Board instead of treating the menu like standard bar food. Those plates show the Czech and German pull in the kitchen and give the beer program better food partners.
3
Use Tuesday or Thursday for the Deal Night
The weekly house promos are worth planning around when value matters. Tuesday puts a selected entree with a stein, while Thursday turns two starters and two entrees into a paired dinner move.
4
Ask the Beer Question Before You Pick Food
This is a room where the beer list should shape the meal, not sit after it. Ask what is pouring well, then match crisp lagers or darker beers to Currywurst, Fish N' Chips, Schnitzel, or Duck Fat Popcorn.
5
Finish With Sticky Toffee Cake and a Bottle-Shop Browse
Jelly King Sticky Toffee Cake keeps the beer thread going through dessert with stout caramel and Earl Grey whipped cream. After that, the bottle shop turns the last look at the beer list into something you can take home.
