Suchard, London Bridgeback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Basically a Thai restuarant thats in a pub. Nice enough though

Weird place..

Great little pub. Feels like a dive but has thai food. And some of the slappers that come in their around closing time are quality.

This just reminds me of going to the old Czar Bar and, having found out they served cans at 1 pound per can, were told we had to drink them outside (this was I'd add after a weighty session of Stella Artois). More amusingly, the bouncers then asked us to move further down the street with our cans of beer in case the police came round!
They then let us back in again to drink more despite at least on of our party being clearly paralytic!
Happy days......anyway, this place is the same but with Phad Thai instead of Saharas nuts. The bar staff also look less likely to do a deal with you than the old ones which is a touch disappointing. But it's very odd to see a small mandarin fellow talking in broader cock-er-nee than half the locals, and that's a charm I suppose!

Back when this was The Czar Bar, it was a legendary dive bar. Now that it's Suchard's, it just seems confused. It still has remnants of the gritty Czar Bar feel, but now with Pad Thai and Chang beer. Very bizarre.
However, the Bishop of Southwark appears to be a fan, as this is where he famously got sozzled before breaking into a stranger's car and throwing toys around. Perhaps it's not that different from the Czar Bar after all.

Now renamed Suchard. Not the best pub around but the Thai food on offer was good. The place is a bit rough but good enough for a pint and a look at sport on the big screen.

Nice bar off Bermondsey Street not too far from London Bridge Station. Zero decor but open very late with free entry. A good place to know when last orders rings in the regular pubs round there. Staff always seem cool eve when you are trawling up late with 11 other people!
