This pub isn't closed or I've been imagining my post-football drinking sessions for the last few years. Not a bad boozer, good Guinness and an interesting jukebox but can feel a bit dead.

this pub is definitely not closed so please change the web page for it.It is still a strange pub with a sense of claustrophobia because of the long narrow room. Which heightens the feeling of not being welcome. But the eal ales are usualy in good condition.

Definately not closed, I was in there last week for a cheeky couple before the cricket at The Oval.
Nothing ever changes in The Greyhound. Not over friendly but not unfriendly either. Beer ok.
|
ah it's not really shut - it was closed for a few days (i think maybe it changed hands / lease ended) but it's open again now. poked my head in the front door but didn't seem to be any major changes.

i stick by my comment below
however it does have a good irish trad session on a sunday night, and the pub does have a certain charm. Not for everyone though.

Won't be back to listen to the bad language, see the miserable faces, or try to get the attention of tardy bar staff.

No thank you, never again. I've been in some rough pubs but never felt as intimidated as I did this time. Customers and staff just staring and not a friendly face in sight. Is it a private club? Is it a clique? Do they want new faces? No No No to all three. Could be a nice place if everyone tried harder.

agree with seanboots - very "local" irish crowd who are a bit drunk and miserable. genuine place, but a bit depressing unfortunately. it's not a bad pub of itself, and it shows irish sport, but wouldn't recommend it unless you know the regularss.
|
Yeah alright I suppose if you want a standard pub experience - wouldnt choose to come here

If only the staff would look happy, it would help if everyone in their didn't stare just 'cos you walk in to try the place. Everyone knows everyone and no attempt was made to make us feel welcome. Won't be back - sorry.

Three of us went in one Friday night and were greeted by a lot of old Irishmen intent on looking miserable. We decided to feed the jukebox. Atomic by Blondie got them to turn the music up! On closer inspection it appeared the jukebox had 15 credits left. As we were nearing the end of our beers, and thoroughly disappointed by a venue with so much potential, we programmed YMCA 15 times, finished our drinks and left.
Haven't been back since.

A No Nonsense Pub With good beer and atmosphere. Strong local clientele and friendly. Good staff who know their job. A good spot to meet up with friends for a drink if you're heading further afield with the tube nextdoor. Good pub to watch a match. Handy for the Oval Cricket ground.

Keeping it real -
This and the Hanover are good proper pubs without any of the fancy wine bar-ish, food serving pretences of the Fentiman Arms and Royal Albert. I fear they are an endangered breed so we should enjoy them whilst we can

Great Irish music on Sundays, a friendly if unkempt place with a drunkish clientele. Great for a pint, tayto and the paper, bit depressing if you stay any longer
|
A busty Irish pub, best tasting guiness in south london
