The Goose, Beckenham

Young, very young. Not much atmosphere. Can get smokey. Just a cheap place to drink cheap beer... But if you're with a big group of people and just want to drink and chat, sometimes that isn't too much of a liability in the end.

O'Neill's, Beckenham

Full of teenages looking to pull and/or get drunk, old men who think they can pull one of those hideously-dressed dolled up teens, middle-age overweight divorcees looking for a few lines of flattery, and the occasionly normal person looking for a decent pint. Testosterone charged atmosphere leads to fights on weekends, either in the pub or outside. Can be fun though and the overworked staff do their best. Unlike other bars in the area, drinking here won't empty your wallet on hte first round, and the choice of lagers is acceptable (good by Beckenham standards at least).

La Rascasse, Beckenham

Potentially a good pub, but marred by overprice drinks, unfriendly staff and arrogant customers. This seems to be THE place to go if you're wealthy, have an attitude, and think that you're better than everyone else. Pricy, but decent food. Small and cosy, but... but hey, if you don't mind the above, it's a good place to go with your buddies if you don't want to be surrounded by young kids that populate Beckenham's bars.
