The Joiners Arms, Denmark Hill

We love this pub. We even love the toilets, they are oldfashioned but clean and they add to the ambience of the place. we love the furniture too, its suits the pub and adds to the character of it.. This is a real pub. The bar at the front is fabulous, all real wood and polish and little candles and orb lights. There is a lovely mosaic on the wall and even the doors are authenthic and the floors are worn wood. the barstaff are really friendly and welcoming and polite and the whole atmosphere is so comfortable and easygoing. The guinness is gorgeous in there and they have a free jukebox on MOndays and loads of oldie stuff can be played - 70's is our favourite as the best bands were playing then. but there are hundreds of different artists, eras and styles on the jukebox which is great. I wish the Joiners was really close to where I live as I would quite happily go in there on my own which I wont in other pubs being a lady customer. this pub does not need mood lighting! - its has its own wonderful mood. My sister and I love this pub and are so glad we discovered it. May it never change! We only wish they did cheese and onion sandwiches, ploughmans and sausage rolls like the pubs used to. NO lasagne or rocket salads or paninis etc! just honest good old ;ploughmans etc. But never mind cos the Joiners is great. Look at the architecture outside, the gold gilding and black artefacts,signs, its beautiful.
