Craft Metropolis - Penge
1st
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.
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.

Blythe Hill Tavern
2nd
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.
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.

Southey Brewing Co
3rd
4.8(203 reviews)
95/100
Southey Brewing Co is a charming little brewery in Penge, serving up cracking home-brewed beers and gin in a relaxed, community-focused spot that's perfect for a casual get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Their home-brewed beers are an absolute treat, with standouts like the Lazy Jesus that's become a firm favourite for a refreshing pint.
  • It's incredibly affordable, making it ideal for a laid-back evening without worrying about the bill.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can be a bit tricky to find, tucked away in an alley off the high street, so you might need to keep an eye out.
  • The opening hours seem to vary a touch, which could mean missing out if you're not planning ahead.

The General Napier
4th
4.7(148 reviews)
92/100
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.
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.

The Ivy House
5th
4.6(1004 reviews)
92/100
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.
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.

Skehans

4.6(1176 reviews)
92/100
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.
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.

Dacre Arms
7th
4.6(361 reviews)
91/100
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.
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.

Perry Hill Pub
8th
4.5(721 reviews)
90/100
Perry Hill Pub is a welcoming family-oriented spot in London, serving up cracking food and a relaxed atmosphere that's ideal for casual meet-ups or celebrations.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think generous portions of fresh, tasty dishes like Sunday roasts and burgers that leave you feeling well satisfied.
  • It's a proper family-friendly haven with a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for gatherings, and they've got a heated garden area that's brilliant for events or just enjoying a pint with the dog in tow.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, especially for family events or on weekends, so you'll want to book ahead to secure a spot and avoid any disappointment.
  • With moderate prices, it might add up a bit if you're planning a larger get-together, though the value for what you get is generally worth it.

Areas for Improvement

16th
4.4(1374 reviews)
88/100
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.
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.

  • 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.

The Bird in Hand is a cracking little pub in Forest Hill with a buzzing vibe, friendly faces, and plenty of events, but it's not without its quirks like the doorway smokers.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant – it's got that warm, community feel that's perfect for a catch-up with mates.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always with a smile that makes you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • Smokers hanging around the doorway can make it a bit of a nuisance to get in and out, spoiling the entrance a touch.
  • A few folks have mentioned it needs some tightening up in places, like better management of outdoor areas, to keep the experience top-notch.

87/100
The Bricklayers Arms is a charming traditional pub in London with a warm community spirit, cracking beers, and plenty of events to keep things lively.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got a fantastic selection of real ales and beers that are always well-kept and fairly priced, making it a treat for any beer enthusiast.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, giving that proper welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home from the get-go.
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.

Catford Bridge Tavern
21st
4.3(881 reviews)
86/100
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.
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.

The Dartmouth Arms is a cracking little pub in Forest Hill that's all about delicious grub, a welcoming vibe, and good times with mates – ideal for a casual night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely brilliant – think juicy burgers, crispy fries, and wings that hit the spot, all packed with flavour and perfect for satisfying those fast-food cravings.
  • The staff are so friendly and welcoming; they really make you feel at home, whether you're there for a quick bite or a relaxed evening.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit pricey, so you might end up spending more than you planned, especially if you're indulging in the drinks and extras.
  • The operating hours might feel a tad confusing with varying closing times, so it's worth double-checking to avoid missing out.

Sylvan Post is a charming spot in Forest Hill, blending history with a welcoming vibe, excellent drinks, and tasty food for a proper pub experience.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The unique atmosphere in a former post office, with original features like leather booths and vaults for private dining, makes it feel really special and full of character.
  • A cracking selection of cask ales and craft beers, plus those tempting £4.75 deals on pints and wine from midday to 7pm on weekdays – perfect for a cheeky midweek tipple.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can be a bit on the pricey side, so you might want to plan ahead if you're watching your spending.
  • The operating hours vary a tad, and with a typical closing around 4pm in some listings, it might not suit late-night gatherings – double-check for the day you're visiting.

86/100
The Dolphin is a lovely, welcoming pub in London with a cosy vibe, fantastic service, and a great garden – though it might not suit families with noisy kids.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely cosy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed get-together with friends or family.
  • The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, always going the extra mile to make you feel right at home – shout out to the likes of Florin and Sam for their brilliant service.
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.
  • While most experiences are positive, there seems to be the odd inconsistency in how accommodating the place is for groups with babies, based on what some have shared.

86/100
The Greyhound in Sydenham is a welcoming gastropub with a cracking atmosphere and top-notch service, but it's let down by inconsistent food portions and quality that could use a bit more attention.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, attentive, and always ready with a great recommendation, like that delicious mocktail one reviewer raved about.
  • The atmosphere is spot on; it's warm, comfortable, and full of personality, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates or a family meal.
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.

26th
4.3(1160 reviews)
86/100
Bridge House is a charming pub in London with a warm, community vibe and cracking Sunday roasts, but watch out for the prices that can sting a bit.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's a welcoming spot with a lovely beer garden, perfect for chilling out after a walk in the nearby park, and it's got that community feel with events like Thursday quizzes and open mic nights.
  • The staff are brilliant; they're friendly, attentive, and really go the extra mile, especially for special occasions or when you're with the family – plus, it's great that they welcome dogs and even give them a treat.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes, like the burgers, can be a bit disappointing and feel overpriced for what you get – for instance, an £18 chicken burger that didn't live up to expectations.
  • Prices are on the higher side overall, which might catch you off guard if you're after something more budget-friendly, especially when the food doesn't always hit the mark.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, like that chap Kieran who's always on hand with a smile.
  • The food is a real winner, especially the jerk chicken – it's tender, full of flavour, and has just the right kick without overwhelming your taste buds.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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.

The music is really depressing at times especially during the week, the DJs don’t play for the crowd they play for themselves! The DJ on Friday plays the same tunes every week. The vibes are always ni...

Golden Lion

Verified
4.1(368 reviews)
82/100
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.
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.

Looks like it's going out of business. Nothing on tap and place is falling apart. Could be a great pub but needs some love and money spent on it.

The Alfred London
35th
4.1(143 reviews)
81/100
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.
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.

The Afred is by far the best pub in Sydenham, I put it down to two basic things that all pubs should have but rarely deliver on. 1: The Pints. The Guinness is exceptional, better than the Blythe h...

The Mansion Bar & Café
36th
3.9(63 reviews)
77/100
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.
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.

The Crooked Billet
37th
3.8(186 reviews)
76/100
The Crooked Billet is a charming community pub in London that's all about good vibes, live entertainment, and welcoming everyone—from families to footie fans—for a cracking time.
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.
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.

Good Craft Union pub, large function room out the back, friendly locals celebrating the Crystal Palace FA Cup Final win.

The Downham Tavern

3.7(89 reviews)
74/100
The Downham Tavern is a classic local pub in Bromley with a 3.7 rating, offering warm vibes and affordable drinks, but it might not suit everyone if you're new to the scene.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are really friendly and welcoming, making it feel like a proper community spot
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, with pints like Fosters at just £4 – great for a budget night out
Areas for Improvement
  • It can feel a bit cliquey if you're not a regular, with some folks getting the side-eye or questions just for dropping in
  • No food options mentioned, so you might end up just sticking to drinks and feeling a tad peckish

Locals pub but welcoming to new visitors. Reviews claiming this place is dark, dank and dirty are absurd. It's not the Ritz but a decent pub, enjoyed the eclectic music choice.
