The Brockley Barge, Brockley

I have no beef with Wetherspoon's pubs, and I actually love dodgy old geezer's pubs, but the Barge just always seems to be full of crazy old gippers (and not interesting ones either!)
I've been here twice now, and both times we left quite early to find somewhere - anywhere - else.

The Capitol, Forest Hill

There's nothing actually *wrong* with this enormous cavern of a pub, and the interior is genuinely quite a sight to behold (it used to be a cinema); but there's not really anything particularly *right* with the place either.

If you're just after a quick, cheap pint and a seat then during the day I'd recommend The Capital, but at night there are nicer and more welcoming places.

All Inn One, Forest Hill

I've been in this pub a couple of times over the past few weeks and can't understand the negative comments on here (I can only assume they're out of date).

OK, The Forester's isn't "The Best Pub In The World Ever", but it is a nice, spacious, welcoming local boozer with a broad clientele base, just perfect for a relaxed and unpretentious weekend drink.
