Lucy Do: Micropub owner, community builder, and finds magic in the mundane
In our final throwback episode, we’re catching up with another guest from Beer with Nat season two, who I chatted with back in June 2019. Today’s guest is Lucy Do, owner of The Dodo Micropub. We start by hearing what Lucy has been up to over the past 7 years, then we revisit our original conversation. Lucy shares us what a micropub is and why she decided to open one. She also reflects on some of her key learnings over the years, the advice she wished she had when she first started out, and a whole lot more.   What stuck with me from this conversation: On community building: “Moving away from the corporate world, being successful was about being happy with who I am and what I’ve created and that’s why I wanted it to be a community. I wanted people to not feel lonely. I wanted people to come in here on their own and make friends. I love that people make friends in here – I genuinely, genuinely love that. It’s just heartwarming.”   Links & things: Lucy’s micropub: The Dodo Follow her on follow here(and don’t miss her creative reels and TV interviews, too!) You’ll find a full list of the awards she’s won here and a few highlights below: Industry Champion of the Year at the Women in Beer Awards 2025 Bar / Pub of the Year at the Be Inclusive Hospitality Spotlight Awards 2022 CAMRA Ealing & West Middlesex Pub of the Year 2020 & 2021 Her beginnings: The loan that helped Lucy get her start: Virgin Start Up Loan And the micropub that inspired her: The Just Reproach in Kent For more from Lucy: Listen in to the episode of the Good Beer Hunting podcast we recorded together in January 2021 P.S. If you’re inspired by the idea of ‘doodling at The Dodo’, here’s one of my favourite adult colouring books.
