To celebrate the end of Dry January, a group of passionate pub lovers - including the CityStack London Pub Collection, Historic Pub Crawls and the London Pub Explorer - are teaming up to launch Support an Independent Pub Day on Saturday, 31 January. The aim? To support local communities and give a boost to independent pubs.
Each participating pub will set a target for pints sold on the day, which will be shared with patrons to help meet the goal. Communities will come together all day long to make sure the tills are ringing.
The mission of these pub enthusiasts is simple: to celebrate and support the beloved local pubs that play a vital role in fighting loneliness and fostering social connections for millions of Britons.
We’ve compiled a list of special events hosted by independent pubs for this occasion. Find your pub, book a table, and join other pub lovers in making the most of this special day!

Come and join us for this unique day! And if you are watching out your wallet, don't forget to bring your CityStack Special Beer mat to enjoy £10 off your bill any any of these pubs.
You don't know what CityStack is? We created this initiative to support independent pubs and help Londoners socialise within their budget. Our £25 London Pub Collection gives you £100 worth of food and drink at fantastic independent pubs across London . Each pack comes with a special beer mat to show at any ten of the 80+ pubs handpicked by the CityStack team. Have it stamped to get £10 off £20+ spend. Of course, you can spend more than £20 to show your support – they won’t turn you away! Do it ten times, save £100 (10 x £10 off = £100 worth of food and drink at pubs).
CityStack provides a fun experience too, including a map and a stack of collectible informative beer mats to learn more about a fantastic selection of London pubs.
This initiative aims to support great independent pubs and help pub lovers socialise within their budget.
Great pubs are willing to offer exclusive discounts with these pub vouchers because it drives people to visit and discover them. You save money and the pubs gain new customers, it’s a win-win!
