The Commercial, Herne Hill

A handy location what with it being opp the station and all BUT the last few times I visited the pints I had were bordering on the undrinkable. So I tend to head round the corner to the Half Moon and drink well served Pride instead.

Be warned; I was here on a Tuesday and it closed at 10pm.

The Goldsmiths, Penge

One of the first times I was drinking here, I noticed it had suddenly turned very quiet. Looking around I saw that everyone in the pub, and I do mean EVERYONE, was standing up, fist on heart whilst the Irish national anthem boomed out on the big screen coverage of a Gaelic football match. If that's faux Irish I'm not sure what the real deal would look like.
They sell decent Youngs ordinary at �1.80 a pint (no other real ales) and the live music on a Saturday/Sunday is usually a great laugh as some of the punters get up to dance. If you like real pubs, cheap beer and people watching then I can highly recommend this pub. If you prefer gastropubs and get nervous in close proximity to the working class I'd steer clear...
