please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I have only been a couple of times but it's always been busy, but not too busy. I have always found the staff really friendly and the lovely Aussie accent makes it even better!

i think Walkabout Bromley is having something of a revival. it seems to be getting more popular and busier every month. it looked packed from the outside and a queue to get in gather on many occasions.
very friendly bar staff the last time i visited. quit surprising.
|
On not having been there for a while we decided to try it on Good Friday evening and were pleasantly surprised.
The pub was vary busy but not busy enough to be annoying. the bar staff were very quick to serve us and were very friendly. i was actually asked a number of times if i had been served, by different staff.
overall we had a great night in there. the music was good but not horridly loud. we got seats and the drinks were pretty cheap. well worth a go.

I think these guys must have been refused before as Walkabout would have to be the most strict venue in bromley for ID as I am 23 and get checked ever time I go in there. Sour grapes guys.
Rock on Walkabout

I agree with "Get_me_mome_Old_Tom". Why are acurate reviews of this dismal place being pulled? Such censorship is bang out of order,

Reasonable during the week for a pint, as it's quiet and quite cheap with a survival card, but I'd not even dream of visiting on a weekend.
|
Dire - unless you wear tracksuits and like a fight!
Careful with the girls as they're probably under 18 and will have slept with at least one member of doorstaff!
|
I don't like this venue anymore mainly due to the security changing and all the friendly, approachable door staff have gone only to be replaced by ignorant grunting bouncers. For years walkabout had the best doormen in Bromley but no longer. I think the manager changed last year and the pub hasn't been the same since. Shame, i miss the old walkabout.

Why have all but one of the reviews accurately portraying the clientele as young thugs, cheap tarts or paedophiles got pulled? A temporary technical fault I hope - people need to know to avoid this place unless you fall into one of the three aforementioned categories.
|
Enjoy watching grown men prey on young girls? Then go here - a truly awful pub where the ability to have your head shoved up your own arse is a must. There isn't any stand out features, and if your in here after about 6pm you can sense the agression brewing (normally from the hormonal "men" with their "funky" hair). Police always on call and waiting outside - they've learnt from previous experience.
|
Kinda ok, not the best of situations, most people are underage but are let in because they are pretty or got massive T**s. But the beer is ok, could probably do with a line clean maybe!
|
Okay - so some nights you may not get in - maybe its because its too busy, you have had 1 too many at your local, or sometimes, its because you dont haveany 34DD!!!
but at the end of the day, after for sum reason not wanting our custom, you do not want 4 old bill following you half way down the high street to pull a section 60 stop and search on you....there were swarms of old bill outside anyway, i reckon 15. (section 60 is the blades act, so its obviously after the poor soul got stabbed in the head that they have finally pulled some stops out and decided to make the pub at least slightly clean of blades)
but anyway - my mate went in there - 3 notes for a cider and black, which is far too much nearly a whole note went on the black currant - FAR TOO MUCH. for a better pub, go to Lloyds
|
Agree with most... end of the day where else are you gonna go in bromley??! Its a big place, good music, hardly a que at the bar, prices are reasonable to most places now days and there's usually talent in there for single people!!
Unfortunately it has literally no competition anymore so everyone crams in which means you have to be there by 7.30 otherwise you que to get in!!
|
This pub is awesome. The bouncers are delightful chaps and there are no incidents or underage drinkers within. The music is usually pumping with a well dressed and sometimes scantily clad cliontelle. This pub is brilliant to finish the evening if you live in bromley cos they chuck you out at 11pm and you can go on and have a house pary. It is a it of EXPENSE though. 3 notes for a cider and black. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT? but overall i can't fault it other than not all my friends get let in.

I used to go here quite a bit, but haven’t visited for quite a while now. The prices are okay, it's always a laugh when your there with mates etc. The music is okay and the bands are okay after you've had "a few". However, I've witnessed a couple of fights in the past and got sneered at and started once for absolutely no good reason whatsoever. Still, despite these flaws, I've always enjoyed myself here.

Like most Walkabouts, fine for daytime drinking, but avoid in the evenings. It is a considerable improvement on the bell opposite the road though.
|
A lot of morons frequent this place. The idea is good but the punters let it down. Girls dressed like streetwalkers flood this place and often have my eye poked with the outrageously bad, long hair of little chavs with 6 foot high hair. Not a bad place if you want to pick up a fat little chook called "Kell" or "Shazza". Boucers are pleasant and very professional...
anonymous - 13 Sep 2005 14:20 |
sorry forgot to mention there ARE NO CHAVS in walkies, its the bell that attracts the druggie 12 year olds with their caps and trackies on......
law69 - 26 Aug 2005 13:07 |
walkabout is wicked!!!i've been going there every friday and most saturdays since it opened last June. You get to know everyone in there so theres always loads of us having a laugh. the podiums are the best place to get noticed, i guarantee me and my mates take over the podiums bout 8 and dont get off til the pub closes(or if we are pulling) which you always do in there.Much better class of blokes compared to everywhere else in bromley.Walkabout is the only place thats half decent round that here, the queue is a mile long by 7:30(which is why you need to get in with the bouncers) they are lovely by the way, bit pervy but hey thats what they're meant to be like, right!!the drinks have gone up to double the price at weekends but its still by far the best place to spend your fridays, get a late lisence walkabout!!!!!!!!!!!
law69 - 26 Aug 2005 13:02 |
Unbelievably popular plastic Australian bar attracting the worst elements of Bromley's chav culture. Packed to the point of discomfort on Fri/Sat nights as evidenced by the astonishing queues. Not one for the adults amongst you.
|
Good place to go to start a night out. Get there no later than 8 to aviod the huge queue, which is rediculious. only decent place in bromley with good music, good atmosphere and doesn't look like a dump.
|
Cheap drinks.... fit birds.... quality music.... no long que for bar!! -> wha more do u want!!
-> Get there for about 7.15-7.30 latest to avoid queing on a friday!!
|
The Walky is Ledge! The least chaviest place in bromley so don't no what you lot are talking about. Music is wicked your guaranteed a good laugh. The Walkabout is the only decent bar/pub in bromley and the long ques are proof of this.
anonymous - 25 May 2005 14:13 |
RIGHT,.. WALKABOUT, like all pubs has its fair share of truble, BUT, it is the ONE desent place to go in bromley till about 10.15 at night then i recomend going to the greyhound opersit the odean.(if u go greyhound b there b4 10.30 as the doors get shut)
I love this PUB(walkabout) it has wicked atmosphere and the booze is cheeper then the bell. They have a good D.J(which is hard for me to say when im dateing the greyhounds D.J) but it is true. lol. THE Q is abit long, so get there at about 7 for garenteed entry! overall, WICKED PUB!!!!
|
Interesting
Antipodean bar in a nice area full of scum from the surrounding area and no Southern Hempisphere people to be seen
Was this a joke or is the walkabout chain stupid
Chav city central
|
too many chavs in here. music is good, drink is ch4eap. nice atmosphere though. but the queue needs to be sorted out!
|
What on earth has happened to this place? Walkabouts are normally fun places. This dump is a war zone, full of Chavs. If you want to pull Vicky Pollard types. This is the place for you.
|
I've heard good things about walkabout, but each time I turn up the queue is too big & I end up going to the bell accross the road!!!
Anyone know what time the queues start? might try & get there early one sat nite!!!!
|
Massive queues unless you get there ridiculously early. No, really. This is probably due to the fact that it is the only decent place to go in Bromley these days, with the exception of O'Neill's. Nice bar staff, good atmosphere.
|
It can get too crowded and you have to queue for about half hour if you get there after 6! but the drink is reasonably cheap and the music is good! all aged people and good atmosphere! ;)
anonymous - 2 Dec 2004 13:58 |
allways way too crowded, good music sometimes... but thats about it.
mike - 5 Nov 2004 14:01 |
Too crowded, too hot and full of teenagers, especially leery young boys, but cheap drink, OK for the odd drink at the beginning of the night before moving on elsewhere.
Lara - 20 Oct 2004 14:04 |
No decent beers - just loads of lagers and Tetley smoothflow. Food good though.
Leslie - 23 Sep 2004 10:45 |
Was OK when it first opened. Now you have to get in there by 4pm or queue for an hour just to spend the night with a load of 17 year olds. Good cheap Aussie beer but is it worth the hassle...NO.
Alex - 15 Sep 2004 17:32 |
get here early as it can take an hour to get in. underage peeps will not get in if there r bouncers in the door. Good lookin fellas, less attitude and good music an cheap food. A good place to b
Amy - 1 Sep 2004 23:21 |
Superb! I wud highly recommend to everyone. Bouncers are strict on id keeping out the kids, and they also keep a strong presence about the place inside to prevent any trouble. Drink is cheap, loadsa TVs everywhere(even in toilets!) and they play a good mix of music to suit all. Best pub in Bromley by a mile. Tigers Head will surely go out of business soon judging by the ques for Walkabout, jus confirming its overall excellent appeal to all.
Tommy D - 30 Aug 2004 22:46 |
v.strict on ID but there are still underage chavs in there! when will it end!! not the worst place in bromley but certianly not the best.
kerry - 19 Aug 2004 15:03 |
But is it really worth quing past the tomfooly for-i don't think so. Has little atmosphere as well because of its size.
Lucy - 28 Jul 2004 17:07 |
loving walkabout in bromley... not only is it cheap and strict as to not let in any "little kids" but great music enough seating and a wicked night out! shame it cant get a late night license til 1 though! check out the sports nights as atmosphere is fun and the live band nights too!
natalie - 12 Jul 2004 21:27 |
Went there last nyt, the best nyt out in a long time. Bouncers friendly, strict on id, loadsa space to dance, hundreds of tv screens it seems, gorjus toilets, no chavs, get served quickly, cannot be faulted apart from the queueing. And all of this witnessed while sober, must be heaven when drunk. Easily THE best pub/bar in bromley.
Jules - 19 Jun 2004 14:12 |
Was stopped by a giant kangaroo today who informed me Walkabout is opening on 10th June. Will keep everyone updated
Julesy - 1 Jun 2004 23:11 |
Anyone know when Walkabout is opening? Cant bloody wait
Jules - 26 May 2004 20:06 |
'Garys' was great for watching the footy, let's just hope they keep the big screens for Euro 2004, Meat pie sauage roll, come on England give us a goal.
The Wagger - 22 Apr 2004 13:27 |
Its shut down now, its becoming a Walkabout!!!!! Cant wait. No more 15 year olds thinking there "it". If you want underage drinkers go to The Bell opposite.
anonymous - 12 Mar 2004 10:12 |
completley run by rude boys in caps!! No way is this an over 21s bar either... Ive known 15 yr olds to get in here! But still quite a few fit birds dancing... shame you get the people who just want to stand on the stage and not bother dancing!! Have to be drunk to enter here
Dan - 6 Feb 2004 11:37 |
The comment above seems exactly *not* a great pub for me. I want good beer, relaxed atmosphere where I can talk to my friends without shouting. Suppose I'd better go to the Partridge then...
anonymous - 4 Jul 2003 13:51 |
True during the day its great but in the evenings soveriegn, rings, ralph lauren, Polo shirts, french crops etc. And its opposite the most Lary pub in the world....the Bell!
Adam F - 3 Mar 2003 17:52 |
If you are looking for cheap drink and a fun night out look no further. Hours of entertainment laughing at the Bromley boys (how do they manage to all wear matching shirts all on the same night?)
Debbie - 9 Aug 2002 15:40 |
Nice pub, great relaxed atmosphere during the day and good food. Tends to succumb to the kids of Bromley by Friday night. Nice big screen TV though.
Paul H - 29 Jul 2002 12:56 |
Its a great pub full of fit birds, good music, live dj's/bands, lots of quiz/arcade machines, foosball table and cheap cocktails!
Dave - 17 Jul 2002 16:23 |
Slags and Sluts with great music and cheap alcohol!!
