Vauxhall Griffin, Vauxhall

Great place this. Whenever I've gone it's been fairly quiet. However walked past one Friday & it was heaving (out on the pavement at least).

Great Jukebox, Clean, friendly staff, pool table, NICE!

I think it attracts all sorts, some young ones off to the nearby roller disco, locals (of the younger end), maybe it has a slight alternative vibe to it. Kind of reminds me of a cleaner, much more straighter & friendlier Retro Bar in Charing Cross (and a lot more spacious).

Makes me want to take up drinking again! Maybe I will.

The Fentiman Arms, Kennington

I agree with the previous comments. The manageress always seems to have a long face! It seemed to me that she was churlish all evening & just plain rude come closing time. You'd think at least that would put a smile on her face - it didn't.

Funky Munky, Camberwell

This place is awful!

Use to be OK once upon a time. Then they moved the bar from the back wall to side wall, why? Have been there for a late night drink when everything other decent place in Camberwell (ie Dark Horse or Hermits has closed).

You have to pay to get in, �4 I think. The music is middle of the road 'Disco' think Grand Master Flash, white lines ... yep them old crowd pleasers which you know any nos of bars in London are playing at any one time.

The people genuinely seem to be having the time of there lives here. Studenty (I use the term demeaningly). At this time of night OK expect a few walking just messes.

The beer (no stella) Kronenberg then, tastes awful (always does). Not sure whether its the pipes or what?

I'm use to bad toilets but these are particularly bad.

Gone to the dogs. Woof!
