user reviews of Dover Castle, Borough

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Can be ok, frequented by some rather dubious locals with a propensity for doing coke and causing trouble.. so it can be rather rowdy in the evenings.

the bar staff have no real control of the place and it tends to be dominated by the aforementioned.

maybe time the Southwark police paid a little more attention to the Dover Castle to reduce its apparent apathy towards controlled substances

Strange place, with late licence. As said no ale, and considering some of the fantastic pubs in the surrounding area, it's hard to recommend beyond it’s late licence.

yeah the main advantage of this pub is its late hours
open until 1am on sun-wed and 2am thurs-sat
pool table tends to dominate the gaff
draught beer in my opinion is watered down
stick to bottles
mind u you will prob be smashed going in anyway, so wouldnt really notice.
crowd from all walks of life
not bad for a late one
just keep yourself to yourself
not a great selection of beers
ale drinkers (dont even bother) there aint any on tap

in there on a regular bar staff are a good laugh, music ain't bad and the late night drinking is a right touch. have spent many a night and day in there killing pool and getting plastered. this pub would suit all types.

one of the only places in the area to have a late licence during the week - no need to wolf your drinks down at 10.45pm. I've had some great nights in here, where the atmoshere has been kicking. My only reservation is some of the doorman, who think they're doing you a massive favour by letting you in. I've actually been refused entry (god knows why). However, that didn't stop me going back there.

Could be a great place for a night out, even though it's small ... late hours made it seem like a great local spot for finishing up, good staff too, but the clientelle ruin it. Been 3 times and each time it's been crowded with pushy, abusive, ignorant w***ers. Real shame.

Hell in a white, faux leather handbag - tried to avail of the late night drinking facilities there on a saturday night and was (literally) driven out by the body odour. full marks to the staff though, who are friendly despite their Dantesque journey through the evening.
