Not sure how "extremely well kept" a pub is when your beer mat sticks to the table and your shoes stick to the floor. Reminded me of the Manx boozers my dad used to drag me round, basically God's waiting room for sclerotic old widowers and their mangy mutts. Cheap booze, but it's Sam Smith's, so the stout's vinegar. One for the seasoned drinker (but not the dressed-up girlfriend I took here for a looksee).

Went with the kids for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. If I ever return, it'll only be for the beers, the food was grim. Doesn't appear to make much of an effort given the location, a chance missed.

Everything a pub should be, I only wish it was like this when I lived round the corner. Worth crossing town for, and open through the night at weekends (unless we were lucky). Look past the tatty fixtures and fittings, though they're part of its charm.

My local, and I miss its pre-refurb days. It may not have looked up to much, but it couldn't have been more welcoming. The barmaids now are friendly enough, but the old mix has gone, replaced by young lads in Hackett clobber comparing their sovs. Just another Lewisham pub now, I'll give Albertines a go for a bit instead.

So someone does the courtesy of calling you back on an enquiry, you refuse to find a quiet corner to take their call, and they're at fault for your rudeness? Franke Lambe got one fact right at least, sheesh.
Not been in a while, my girlfriend won't allow it as we first hooked up there and she was the last in a lucky streak I only ever seemed to enjoy inside this place. Must be the low lighting. Glad it's still going strong as it was one venue where even the bouncers took the time to treat you as an individual not a cash cow.
