The Ravensbourne Arms, Lewisham

I recently moved to the area and was relieved that there was a Antic pub close by. Ravenbourne is great and a breathe of fresh air compared to a lot of the other pubs in Lewisham. Great range of beers, reasonable prices, cosy fit out and good mix of people. Food is also good. Get down there you won't regret it!

The Ladywell Tavern, Ladywell

This pub has re-opened now. I have only moved to the area so never went to the old pub. I have been a few times since it re-opened late 2013 and each time it has been better and better. It seems to be getting a good crowd on Friday and Saturday nights. It has a good range of beers inc. ale (maybe a little pricey for the area), open fireplace, live music some nights and food looks good. If your a local and you have not dropped down yet you should get on down and support it!

Ink Rooms, Battersea

Recently visited the new Ink Rooms formerly known as Microbar... I was dubious as I thought for sure that the range of beers would not be as good... Seems to be the same wonderful selection of beers both on tap and in bottles. The guy behind the bar is very knowledgeable about the beers which is great as this is often lacking... Friendly as well.

I think the new fit out is good as well - improved seating, better bathrooms, making the lower room near the garden more bar like (less like some ones dodgy garage) and access to the bathrooms from downstairs is a big bonus. The beer garden here is great as well (always has been). The new american/tattoo parlour theme is fine and as it gets more 'worn in' will feel better.

Looks like they have live music, trivia and book clubs as well... so something for everyone! Definately better then anything else on offer in the area!

Nice work guys... glad that it re-opened with much of same goodness of the Microbar.
