Visited for the first time yesterday - Tuesday night. Not many people in but seemed friendly enough. Decent pint.

I recently went to this pub before and after a Millwall game. It is a good locals pub with a friendly atmosphere. The landlord sat with me and another supporter after the game and said that he had been there since May 2013 and spent a lot redecorating the pub.
A few lads had came in to play pool and were also friendly.
A decent pint of doom bar at a very reasonable price.
A good locals pub with a friendly atmosphere. Will be returning.

There are three types of pub in this world; one you’d take your missus into, one you’d go to with your mates and one you can just wander into, have a dirty pint, a game of pool and a bloody good craic. This one is definitely the latter. Oddly this is a pub that my old man never dragged me into as a kid in the 80’s (odd as we only lived 2 miles away and he dragged me into seemingly every other pub in a 5 mile radius every Sunday afternoon), so I thought I’d give it a go. I had my trusty dog, Spike, with me and was advised it by a nearby (not so dog friendly) pub.
It was early doors on a Sunday and the footie was about to start on Sky. It was fairly empty but a couple of Strongbows later it had started to fill up. The natives were friendly got into a bit of Arsenal related banter and felt at home. Pool table looked decent (didn’t play as there was some sort of in house tourney going on – although to be fair I never put my pound down) and a decent beer garden for a crafty fag.
The atmosphere might’ve been a bit blue for the missus and I think you’d miss out on a lot of this pub if you went with your mates and sat in the corner, but for what it is, it seems a good craic. Service was pretty decent, as soon as it got a bit busier another bloke came down from upstairs to help out.
All in all a good five hours spent – definitely worth a visit if you’re after an honest boozer where everyone gets involved.

This pub now seems to have attracted the Golden Lion Boys which has given it a good atmosphere before Millwall games.
Decent pint, prices and a formidable landlady. Much better than the waterspoons around the corner and worth a visit although as normal with millwall pubs, be on your guard and do not drink there as an away fan.
My mate was a bit on edge in here but assures me that next time he goes he will try to be a bit braver! Bless Him!

Small, narrow Rotherhithe boozer that currently has Bombardier on for �1.60 a pint. Good pre/post-match, though had windows smashed in a few weeks ago by a group of Chavs from Luton.

Watched a world cup game in there out of necessity and liked the place. Local lads swearing and shouting but all good humoured. Will go there again.

Just by the tube station at Surrey Quays. Recently been refurbed and opened under new management. Worth a visit to see the difference that has been made.
