Craft Metropolis - Penge
1st

Craft Metropolis - Penge

Verified
5.0(267 reviews)
99/100
Craft Metropolis in Penge is a cracking little haven for craft beer fans, boasting a top-notch selection and a welcoming vibe that makes every visit feel like catching up with mates over a pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – they've got 10 taps with fresh, exciting craft beers, including rare small-batch ones that you won't find just anywhere, perfect for sipping and savouring like a fine wine.
  • The staff are really knowledgeable and helpful; they'll guide you through the options and make you feel right at home, which adds to the cosy, friendly atmosphere.
  • It's a great spot for a relaxed casual drink, with a cool vibe and positive energy, plus they've got Yard Sale pizzas on offer to keep things tasty.
  • Convenient location on Penge High Street, not far from the train station, and they're open seven days a week, making it easy to pop in whenever the mood strikes.
  • They've got brilliant online options too, like next-day delivery and click-and-collect, so you can enjoy their curated boxes of beers from the comfort of your own home.
Areas for Improvement
  • The space is quite small and cosy, which means it can get a bit crowded on busier evenings, so you might have to queue or stand if it's packed.
  • They don't take bookings, so it's first-come-first-served – that works for a quick visit, but if you're planning a group outing, you could end up waiting around.
  • The operating hours seem a tad inconsistent from what's listed, with multiple times for Sundays, which might confuse folks trying to plan their visit.
  • It's very much geared towards craft beer enthusiasts, so if you're not into that scene or prefer a more traditional pub feel, it might not be your cup of tea – or pint, rather.

Blythe Hill Tavern

4.8(949 reviews)
96/100
Blythe Hill Tavern is a charming, award-winning Irish pub in south-east London that's all about top-notch real ales, a welcoming atmosphere, and fun events – a real hidden gem for a relaxed catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home, with smartly dressed staff always on hand to make your visit enjoyable.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of real ales and the best drop of Guinness you'll find this side of Dublin – perfect for a proper pint with mates.
  • The child-friendly garden is a lovely spot for a summer drink, and there's plenty of entertainment like quiz nights and traditional Irish music to keep things lively.
  • Sports screens show the games without being too overwhelming, and they've even got great pizzas and a roaring fire in the colder months for that cosy vibe.
  • It's packed with awards, including being named a top pub by CAMRA, so you know you're in for quality brews and a genuine traditional experience.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a tad out of the way for some, tucked between Catford and Forest Hill, which might mean a bit of a trek if you're not local.
  • The pub can get busy during events like sports matches or quiz nights, so you might have to queue for a drink now and then.
  • While it's got a great vibe, it might not suit everyone if you're after something more modern or centrally located in London.

The General Napier is a cosy, welcoming local pub in Forest Hill, where brilliant food, friendly faces, and a relaxed atmosphere make it a top pick for a laid-back get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is fantastic, especially the Sunday roast – it's one of the best I've tried in London, perfect for a hearty meal.
  • It's a real community spot, with a welcoming vibe for families and dogs, plus extras like a beer garden and live music to keep things lively.
  • They've got great facilities including TNT Sports, Sky Sports, and a dartboard, so there's always something to enjoy whether you're watching a game or just chatting.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's tucked away in a quiet residential area, which means it's not the easiest to reach if you're not local – expect a bit of a walk from the station.
  • Beer prices are okay but nothing special, so if you're hunting for the cheapest pints in town, you might want to look elsewhere.
  • As a proper local pub, it might feel a tad understated if you're after something more buzzing or touristy – it's more for settling in with the regulars than a wild night out.

The Ivy House is a cracking community-owned pub in London with a buzzing atmosphere, top-notch beers, and plenty of events, though the food can sometimes fall short.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The community atmosphere is absolutely brilliant – it's like walking into a warm hug from your neighbours, with everyone chatting and enjoying themselves.
  • They've got an amazing selection of cask and keg beers, including gluten-free options, and at really reasonable prices like £5 a pint, which is a steal these days.
  • Live events are a highlight, from punk gigs and poetry nights to pub quizzes and Sunday jazz – there's always something fun on offer to keep things lively.
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you step in.
  • It's a historic spot with a rich backstory, cooperatively owned, which adds a nice community spirit and makes you feel like you're supporting something special.
  • The pizzas and cocktails are solid choices, and for drinks enthusiasts, the hand-picked wine list is a treat.
Areas for Improvement
  • The Sunday roast can be a bit disappointing – one chap mentioned it was overpriced and not up to scratch, with small portions and rock-hard veg that took ages to arrive.
  • Food service might drag on, as it reportedly took over an hour for a meal in one review, which could put a dampener on your visit if you're peckish.
  • While the beers are great, the food options seem a tad inconsistent, so it might not be the first pick if you're after a full meal rather than just drinks and vibes.

Skehan's is a gem of an Irish pub in South London, blending tradition with a vibrant community vibe – think great live music, affordable pints, and a welcoming spot for a catch-up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially with live music happening six days a week – it's a proper treat for anyone who loves a good singalong or a folk session.
  • Guinness is spot on and reasonably priced, making it a wallet-friendly spot for a pint or two with mates.
  • Friendly bar staff who always seem up for a chat, even when things get hectic, which really adds to that welcoming, community feel.
  • They've got a cracking Thai restaurant on site, plus a hidden garden out back – perfect for a bite and a breather on a sunny day.
  • Loads of events like quiz nights, jams, and karaoke keep things lively and give you plenty of reasons to pop in regularly.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty packed on weekends, so you might end up queueing for a drink or struggling to find a seat, which isn't ideal if you're after a quiet one.
  • The card payment minimum is a bit of a nuisance at £10, so it's worth having some cash on hand to avoid any hassle.
  • Operating hours seem a tad inconsistent from what's listed, which could catch you out if you're planning a visit outside the usual times.

The Dacre Arms is a charming traditional pub with a welcoming atmosphere and solid drinks, but it's worth noting some concerns about inclusivity that might affect your experience.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a proper old-school London boozer with a cosy, wood-panelled interior that just feels like a warm hug on a chilly evening.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, including real ale, making it a top spot for a relaxed pint and a good natter.
  • The garden's a lovely little haven for sitting out, especially on a sunny day, perfect for catching up with mates.
  • It's got that genuine community vibe, run by the same family for years, and it's tucked away in a quiet residential area near Blackheath, feeling like a real local gem.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some troubling reports of racism and bigotry from staff and regulars, which really puts a damper on things and makes it feel unwelcoming for some.
  • It might not be the most inclusive place, as a few folks have mentioned uncomfortable experiences that could spoil an otherwise nice visit.

The Herne Tavern is a welcoming spot in London with a fabulous beer garden and solid beer selection, though service can be hit or miss at times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer garden is spacious and absolutely brilliant for sunny days, making it a top spot to relax outdoors.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers, including local brews from Gipsy Hill Brewery, which really adds to the authentic pub feel.

  • Prices are reasonable, and the service tends to be fast, especially when the place is buzzing.
Areas for Improvement

  • The staff don't always seem fully engaged, which might make you feel a tad awkward if there's a mix-up, like with drinks.
  • It can feel a bit quiet on weekdays, potentially lacking that lively pub energy you're after.

The Royal Standard is a lovely spot in Blackheath with cracking service, scrumptious food, and a cracking beer garden, though it can be a tad pricey – ideal for a relaxed pint and meal near Greenwich.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The service is absolutely spot-on – friendly, polite staff who make you feel right at home, like they did for Adam with his excellent barman experience.
  • The food is a real treat, with rave reviews for dishes like truffle fries, camembert, and prawns that sound utterly delicious and leave you wanting more.
  • It's got a brilliant atmosphere, complete with good music, live bands now and then, and that amazing beer garden that's perfect for soaking up the sun.
  • The location is a winner, right near Blackheath and Greenwich Park, making it easy to pop in after a wander, and it's even dog-friendly for those with furry mates.
  • They've got a welcoming vibe overall, with a private function room for parties or gatherings, as Trinh N found out with her schoolgirls' bash – everyone had a fantastic time.
Areas for Improvement
  • The food can feel a bit overpriced for what you get, as Kate pointed out with her lunch; it's tasty but might not justify the cost for everyday eats.
  • There are occasional hiccups with the dishes, like the issue Kate had with her pie, though the team handled it well, it's still something to keep in mind.
  • While most experiences are positive, it might not suit everyone if you're after something super budget-friendly or consistently flawless every visit.

Trafalgar Tavern is a charming riverside pub in Greenwich, blending rich history, tasty grub, and friendly vibes, though it does bustle on peak days.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The riverside setting is absolutely stunning, with gorgeous views of the Thames that make any visit feel special and relaxing.
  • It's got a real historical charm, full of nautical artefacts and paintings that bring Britain's naval past to life in a fun, engaging way.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can get incredibly busy, especially in the evenings or on weekends, which might mean waiting around for a table.
  • Some menu items, like the charcuterie board, could use a bit more variety or generosity to really impress.
  • As a popular spot, the moderate prices might add up quickly if you're planning a full meal and drinks for a group.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly faces like Julia and Beth who make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got a wonderfully cozy vibe with comfy sofas and a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

  • The place is spotlessly clean and comfortable, whether you're just popping in for a pint or staying in one of their rooms.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy on evenings, especially mid-week, so you might struggle to find a seat or enjoy a quieter chat.
  • There's no clear info on opening hours, which could leave you in a bit of a pickle if you're trying to plan ahead.
  • While they're flexible, like letting you bring your own food in a pinch, it doesn't seem to be the norm, so it might not always be an option.

  • The staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, giving that proper welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home from the get-go.
  • Dog-friendly setup means you can pop in with your four-legged mate without any fuss, which is a lovely touch for us animal lovers.
  • Plenty of space with different rooms and areas, perfect whether you're nipping in for a quiet pint, catching up with mates, or watching the footie on the telly.
  • A real community feel with events like quizzes, live music, and sports screenings, plus things like the meat raffle on Sundays – it's buzzing and inclusive.
Areas for Improvement
  • The building's got a bit of history with some quirky repairs from its wartime past, so it might feel a tad worn in places and not as polished as newer spots.
  • Food options are mostly limited to bar snacks, so if you're after a proper meal, you might need to head elsewhere rather than staying put.
  • It can get lively during big sports events, which is great if that's your thing, but it might be a bit too noisy for a relaxed chat on those days.

Catford Bridge Tavern is a welcoming spot in London for sinking a pint of craft beer and tucking into hearty pub grub, especially their legendary Sunday roasts – it's got that homely feel that'll make you want to pop in regularly.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The craft beers and drink selection are top-notch, with a great variety including local brews and always a few cask options on tap – it's a real treat for beer enthusiasts.
  • Their Sunday roasts are absolutely spot on; think giant Yorkshires, crispy roasties, and lashings of gravy, with solid veggie and vegan choices too.

  • It's got a cosy, snug atmosphere with a lovely beer terrace for enjoying a pint outdoors, perfect for catching up with mates on a sunny day.
  • They host fun events like the Catford Beer Festival and DJ nights, adding a lively vibe and making it more than just your average local pub.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be hit or miss; for instance, the pork in their roast wasn't quite up to par in one visit, so it might not always be consistently brilliant.
  • The operating hours seem a bit variable, with different closing times listed, which could catch you out if you're planning a late one.

Areas for Improvement
  • It might not be the best choice if you're with little ones, as there have been issues with noise from children not being tolerated, which could put a damper on family outings.

Areas for Improvement
  • Portions can be on the small side, like that cod and chips that left one person still feeling peckish after their meal.
  • Food quality isn't always consistent – some reports of dishes arriving just warm or even cold, which puts a damper on things.
  • Table availability might be a bit of a hassle; one group was told a table was reserved but it sat empty the whole time they were there.
  • It doesn't always live up to past visits, with a few folks noting it's gone downhill, so it might not be as reliable as you'd hope.

  • Service can be a bit inconsistent; sometimes you might have to hunt down a menu or wait ages for someone to take your order, which puts a dampener on things.
  • The food quality isn't always reliable – one visit might be brilliant, but another could leave you disappointed with overcooked dishes or a less than stellar experience.
  • It gets packed quickly, especially on busy nights, so you might not get that warm greeting you hoped for, and tables can feel a tad chaotic.
  • Booking ahead is a must for larger groups, but even then, it doesn't always run smoothly, which could frustrate if you're after a seamless evening.

The Prince Frederick is a charming local pub in Bromley with a friendly vibe and solid beers, ideal for a casual catch-up, though it skips on food options.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • Some of the newer bar staff could use a bit more personality to really liven up the experience.
  • It's tucked away a bit, which might make it less convenient if you're not in the local area.

The Black Cat is a solid local pub in London with a friendly crowd and good value drinks, ideal for a relaxed catch-up, though it could do with a bit more variety in the beers.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Black Cat has a really welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, making it feel like a proper local spot where you can unwind with friends.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, which is always a plus when you're out for a casual pint or two.

  • The staff and even the owner are super friendly, often joining in for a game, which adds to that community vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • The beer selection is a bit straightforward with no cask ales, so if you're after something more adventurous, you might be disappointed.
  • The atmosphere can feel a tad gloomy at times, especially if it's quiet, though it picks up as the day goes on.
  • With no website or online presence, it's not the easiest to check out menus or events in advance.

The Golden Lion is a charming pub with great food potential and a nice setting, but it's been hit by recent slip-ups in service and upkeep, so it's worth checking before you go.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The roasts are absolutely spot on, especially on Sundays – I've heard they're some of the best around, making it a proper treat for a hearty meal.
  • It's got a lovely refurbishment with beautiful gardens and ample parking, which makes it a welcoming spot for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • When the service is on point, the staff can be really friendly and efficient, adding to that cosy pub atmosphere we all love.
Areas for Improvement
  • The beer quality has taken a real nosedive lately, with some folks finding it undrinkable – that's a big shame for a traditional pub.
  • Service can be inconsistent and sometimes unwelcoming, which might put you off if you're not a regular or just after a quick pint.
  • The kitchen seems unreliable, often not open when advertised, and the place looks like it's in need of some TLC to stop it from falling apart.

The Alfred in Sydenham is a proper local pub that's spot on for enjoying a cracking pint of Guinness and some casual fun with friends – it's got that warm, community feel without trying too hard.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Guinness here is absolutely top-notch, often hailed as the best in South London – perfect for those who appreciate a well-poured pint.
  • It's a welcoming spot with a friendly owner and staff who make you feel right at home, especially if you're up for a chat or trying the homemade chilli.
  • They've got a great vibe for sports fans, showing all the big games from Sky and BT Sports, plus plenty of entertainment like karaoke nights, pool, and darts to keep things lively.
  • Spacious inside with some outside space too, making it ideal for relaxing with a drink, whether you're catching up with mates or enjoying the atmosphere alone.
  • A wide selection of beers, lagers, wines, and spirits means there's something for everyone, with seasonal specials that add a nice touch of variety.
Areas for Improvement
  • It could do with a bit of a tidy-up inside; some folks have mentioned it feels a tad worn, which might put off those looking for a more polished setting.
  • The overall experience can be a bit hit or miss at times, with a few comments suggesting that while the drinks are great, the pub's upkeep isn't always up to scratch.
  • Based on what I've seen, it's not the most modern spot, so if you're after something trendy or fancy, you might find it a bit old-school.

The Mansion Bar & Café is a charming spot in Beckenham Place Park, serving up cracking coffee, cakes, and roasts in a relaxed setting, though it's let down by the odd service mishap.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The coffee here is simply brilliant – it's a real treat after a stroll in the park, and pairs perfectly with their delicious cakes and teas.
  • It's got this lovely relaxed, shabby-chic vibe in a stunning mansion building, with gorgeous views across the green space that make it ideal for unwinding.
  • The food options are spot on; think tasty roasts with all the trimmings, like garlic butter chicken and nice Yorkshire puds, plus friendly service that makes you feel welcome.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was a disappointing incident where staff weren't helpful to someone urgently needing sugar due to diabetes, which really soured the experience for them.
  • It only accepts card payments, so if you're out for a casual day and only have cash, you might find yourself a bit stuck.
  • Recent feedback shows a dip in service quality, with the latest reviews not being as glowing, suggesting it might not always hit the mark.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and locals are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in—it's like chatting with old mates over a pint.
  • They've got a fantastic function room that's perfect for parties or events; it's spacious and they've been known to let folks use it for free, which is a real treat.
  • Live entertainment like karaoke on Fridays is a blast—full of energy and passion that gets everyone involved and lifts the spirits.
  • It's super welcoming for families and dogs, as long as they're kept under control, so you can pop in with the little ones or your furry friend for a relaxed vibe.
  • Loads of great drink offers and a solid selection of real ale, plus they show all the big sports events on HD screens, making it a top spot for match days.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might feel a tad intimidating at first glance, especially if you're new to the area, as one person mentioned it being a bit 'scary' walking in—though once you're inside, it's welcoming.
  • The overall rating sits at 3.8, suggesting there could be some off days or mixed experiences that aren't captured in the latest reviews, perhaps with noise or crowds during busy events.
  • While it's family-friendly, there are strict rules about supervising children and keeping dogs on leads, which might not suit everyone looking for a completely laid-back outing.
