THIS PUB IS NOW CLOSED AND BOARDED UP WITH METAL SHEETS TO STOP THE GOTHIC GHOSTS OF DAMNATION GETTING OUT AND DRINKING IN THE CARTOON. Yeah, seriously, it is no more. But what a place. Like something out of the Young Ones crossed with Hieronymous Bosch. Best juke box I've ever seen in a pub.

My girlfriend took me here on my first visit earlier today. Didn't expect to find a rock pub down some back street in Croydon, but I did.
Thought it was a cool pub, though the lager my girlfriend had was shit.

The Harp Rocks
never felt in danger
the owners are welcoming
and the rock music is great
too many rock pubs gone good to see it lives in croydon in a few pubs

The harp is a poor music venue hidden away in the most dangerous part of croydon (west croydon). They rarely have any good talent playing and the conditions are very cramped with a poor music system. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming but the prices are as usual high. The music selection in the juke box is ok but there is not something for everyone. I would rather travel the opposite direction to the peel for a prime example of what the harp could be.

I heard about this Pub from a mate of mine who told me that thay do Jam nights on Sunday and I should check it out so I did, the house band kick ass with some heavy classic and modern rock/metal music. and I got to play a bit of my old blues rock stuff. if you play and you like heavy get down there cause it RAWKS.

The Harp has recently been turned into a Rock Bar by the new guvnor. And what a Rock Bar. It has a jukebox with over 100 alternative/metal Cds in, that is over 1200 tracks. Old school rock night on a Friday and Nu school on a Saturday. Whilst Sunday is reserved for the best Jam night West Croydon has ever seen. There is a Pool and Darts facility and the beer prices are very reasonable. If you are ready to Rock then please visit the Harp.
