Growlers & Cans

You'll find Growlers & Cans tucked away on Chertsey Street, in that stretch where Guildford's independent businesses actually cluster together. It's the kind of place where the staff genuinely know their stuff—they're not just pouring pints, they're talking you through what makes a particular IPA or sour worth your money. The bottle selection is genuinely impressive for a town bar, and there's a real sense that someone's curated this with care rather than just ordering whatever the distributor pushes. It's unpretentious despite the expertise, which is exactly why locals keep coming back.
