Latest reviews from Deptford

“Huge selection of cans and bottles plus about 6 taps. Pretty much all is UK craft. Nice outside space to drink in good weather. Not really an indoor drinking area. Probably much more useful to someone living here who knows the craft scene. Biggest selection of UK craft beers I have seen to date.“

“Great old boozer. Nice old-time feel. Lots of taps, about 6-8 cask ales, 4 ciders from the box, many kegs. Sunday roast was astonishing at a bargain £14. Great ciders and beers, nice people, dog friendly. Loved it.“

“Nice and historical traditional boozer with a rotating selection of excellent craft keg beers and decent cask ales. Some of the cask ales were served too warm. A nice range of Belgian bottled beers. Decent food too, traditional pub grub. Folk music Wednesdays.“

“Visited twice, had some really good craft ales from keg and can. Outdoor seating only. Are they closed in winter?“

“Lovely little taproom in Deprford showcasing their beer. The selection isn't massive - six Villages beers on draught plus a guest cask - the beer is decent and worth trying out. It is quite expensive here (more than other places around Deprford but in line with London if not cheaper). They do festivals including a lager fest later in September. Loved the vibe here. Wod definitely come again.“

“Cozy little beer bar just next to the Artworks in Deptford (they do have a smaller five-tap bar in Artworks but the main bar is just around the corner). Twelve taps on today and none of them are their own beer, although they do still brew and have their beer in the taproom (just not today). Instead you can choose from UK craft royalty: Kernel, Pressure Drop, Duration, Braybrooke, Holy Goat, plus a Dunkerton's cider. And there's a bottle/can fridge as well. Excellent place, and even if I missed their beer I enjoyed the tap selection.“

“Characterful pub down a side street, you probably need to be looking for it in order to find it. And it’s worth looking for. Inside it’s got a main room and a side room for drinkers and diners. It does look quite careworn but that adds to the character of the place. The beer is well worth a look with about 4 sessionable casks and 3 keg, including a sour and an export porter. A good range of Belgians as well (the easily obtainable stuff but a good selection nonetheless). Draught beer was nothing further than Gravesend so it seems, but I can live with that. The Kernel IPA was gone so I went for the porter. The landlord insisted a try a taster, I can see why… it was an odd beer but I opted for a half anyway in the name of ticking! Prices noticeably cheaper than most of my crafty haunts in Leicester. Recommended.“

“Fairly big bar in Market Yard with lots of outside seating. I like SALT beers as they’re dependable and accessible but still very, very good. It’s nice to have them on tap here, although you aren’t limited to their own beers; there are also offerings from Brick, Rodenbach, Exale and the nearby Villages. A few more styles available than the usual prevalence of pales although I opted for a NEIPA in this hot weather. They’ve also got quite a few cans from Salt and good UK outfits like Arbor, plus some low ABV cans from Big Drop. Children welcome, at least in the daytime. A very good place.“

“No Boring Beer has a couple of outlets in London, and the one associated with Jars Bar is certainly a winning formula. Nowhere to sit inside but they have a few shady seats which is very appreciated on this surprisingly hot day. The beer consists of six taps, mostly sessionable but including a couple of sours. Pressure Drop, Pastore, Deya and Elusive are represented. They also carry quite a few cans, and the ones on the sessionable side are certainly good value (although they carry some Three Hills impy stout cans for £10-11, still not bad for what it is). Decent place and within 60 seconds’ walk of Hop Burns & Black or Salt Deptford.“

“Tinier than the Peckham branch, but with three table to drink on site on the glorious sunshine (for £1 corkage for smaller sizes). This store concentrates on London breweries although there are some Continental treats as well as beer from farther afield in the UK (e.g. Duration and Pomona Island). Most of the beers are very well-priced, so you can drink some of the 440ml session cans for under a fiver. Not bad for London.“

“This pub must be as close to perfect as a pub can be. A frequently rotating selection of real ales, all in good condition, a few craft beers on keg, a good selection of Belgian beers on bottles, very friendly staff, local customers, a pub dog, a cheerful atmosphere, folk music on Wednesdays and so on. There are new cask ales on every time I come to the pud - and that is frequently. St. Patrick’s day 2022 was celebrated with a weekend beer festival with over 30 independently sourced cask ales from Ireland. Om Burns’ Night, there were Scottish ales on, regular and vegetarian haggish, Scottish folk music, recitation of the required poem and the bar staff, and even the kitchen staff, wore kilt. And they use their wood-fired fireplace during the winter. And they have solid food with daily specials. There is both indoor and outdood seating. The price of a pint of cask ale is at the moment just over four quid. This is the pub that everybody would wish to have in their neighbourhood.“

“Visited a few times over the Spring in 2019. Situated in an arch a couple of doors down from Deptford station entrance is this place. 2 rooms, a small seating area and well stocked beer fridges full of the latest goodies. I often order on-line and the pop over here to collect the beers. Service is always friendly, the beer list is always good and prices decent. Shame you can't drink tap beers here but you can drink a beer in. Definitely worth a look in if in the area.“

“Beers are being brewed at Franklins in Sussex until they get their brew kit. 8 taps for beer, 3 theirs, 5 guests plus a cider.“

“A typical simple taproom / brewery in a railway arch. Not far from the station. Worth a visit if in the area.“

“Fills an archway near Deptford station. The series of arches here and at the market square comprise a micro-area of gentrification in what is otherwise still a pretty dodgy neighbourhood. The taproom is very basic in terms of decor and selection. Four keg beers - 3 Villages and a Polish guest as well as prosecco apparently on tap. Prices were quite cheap but it is halves and pints only. No real draw for me to ever come back here unless their beer selection changes significantly. It's fine just zero excitement offered.“

“An exceedingly straightforward taproom. Seating for about 20 at tables and benches. A simple bar, behind which sat four active keg taps (with a further two waiting in the wings). Pretty good value at £2 per half. The three beers we tried were very decent. Overall, a nice space, but to become a draw they will need to start offering more beers on the taps.“

“We visited the Dog & Bell on Saturday 17th May 2014 on the umpteenth leg of the Thames Tipple, a journey from the source of the Thames to where it meets the Thames Barrier a journey that has so far taken over seven years! We walked from the Gipsy Moth to hear which was about 15-20 mins but sadly with new builds propping up all along this aea we couldn’t really walk alongside the river. This pub was situated on a quiet back street and despite the proximity to the busy main road, it really was quiet and quite peaceful here. This was a solid down to earth little back street boozer which carried a few from Fullers on H/P along with the odd guest beer, I note that Old Dairy was also on cask. I didn’t really see anything on keg that interested me, however the Belgian bottled selection was actually pretty decent and Orval at £3.90 a bottle not to be sniffed at, so we had a couple of these. The pub is quite traditional inside, two interconnected rooms the bar to the front and left as you enter and the room to the RH side being the larger of the two. I understand that there was a garden but for some reason we didn’t venture outside. Service was friendly and the food portions simple but very generous, we never had any but friends did. This was far and away the most local feeling pub of those visited today and I rather liked it, however with property prices in London continuing to rocket you do wonder what sort of future somewhere like this will have in years to come.“

“Gone are the grotty halls of residence across the road from this pub, replaced by a fresh building housing Goldsmith’s College students. It was therefore inevitable that the grotty previous incarnation of The Duke would be replaced with a more appealing updated venue serving food and a selection of ales. It also benefits from the closure of The Hoy on the other side of the petrol station which was smellier but still superior and in the late 90’s had a happy hour from 9pm until close. This area has been transformed over the past 15 years.“

“A great boozer in a beer desert. 6 handpumps and a fair bottle selection. Interesting black and white photos on the walls.“

“Charming back street boozer popular with the local folk. This was my local for some time, but the beer selection has really dropped to where it was a year or so ago. Cheap pub grub and Sunday roast options. Bring back the lambics in the fridge!“
