The Railway Bell, Tooting

i took over this pub in april and all though it has not been an easy pub, the reviews on here are uncalled for and untruthfull.
drug useage/dealing does not go on in the pub.measures have been set up to ensure that this is the case, and we also have strict policys on anyone who may be caught with an immediate barring from the pub and reported to the local pub watch so other pubs are aware of who the dealers/users are.
to talk about an ex member of staff is uncalled for as they are an ex member of staff for a reason and if your description of this person is true as you say then i wouldnt believe everything this person has told you.
as for 999 calls, you are talking about incidents which happened 2 years or more ago. since i have taken over the police have rarely been called to the pub as there has been no trouble and no need to call them out.times do change and it seems we can not get away from a bad reputation which is years old and out of date.
give us a fair go.come to watch the football or get involved with one of the entertainment nights we have.get to know the people who drink at the pub and dont just assume that they are a dealer or are trouble.dont judge a book by its cover.you never know you might actually enjoy your self

a lot of the reviews here are incorrect and unfair.
i have seen no evidence of the accusations in the reviews.
as for shagging at the bar, was you walking past the right pub or was it a drunk hallucination?
this pub was taken over recently by new management.the staff and manager are very plesant and do a good job. there is a good customer base in the pub, a mix of young and older custom which is fantastic for the atmosphere.
its a proper pub-not many of them around now.people should be supporting it, not slating it.
