The Castle, Tooting Broadway

Stopped in here for a lucky lager after a curry at the Lahore Karahi across the road.

The best I can say is that it broke the walk back to the Tube station. It's a pretty big place and there must have been 10 punters in max. Okay, it was a Monday evening but The Antelope was nicely busy on the same night.

No atmosphere at all and the music didn't help (EMF and Metallica?). The beer was decent enough but considering how much we'd enjoyed The Antelope earlier I can't think of a single reason why I'd ever go back to The Castle.

Totally mediocre.

The Antelope, Tooting

Cracking pub. Was in there on a Monday night and it was nicely busy without being rammed. No trouble getting somewhere to sit at about 6 o'clock. Plenty of friendly staff on so no long waits to get served.

My mate was on the ales and said they were all fine. I was on the lager: the Amstel was awful but the Budvar much better.

Great mix of 60s and 70s rock on the stereo.

Despite Tooting being a bit of a hole I'll definitely go back to this pub.
