First used The Dacre in early the seventies. And have used it whenever possible ever since. Fantastic beer, & friendly locals make this the perfect choice for a convivial evening out.
|
Lovely local pub, plenty of choice of beers. If you're looking for a quiet drink you'll struggle to find a better venue. Crazy dog too.
The only minus points for me would be the lack of food and the lighting is sometimes just a bit too bright (I like my pubs dingy!). But saying that, easily one of the best pubs in SE London.

Cosy & friendly single-roomed neighbourhood pub with 6 handpumps serving mostly mainstream beers – Pride, Bombardier, Deuchers, Bass, Courage. Quiet Sat afternoon but we were advised that some would be returning from the Valley after the match – a nice fact that locals here support the local team. We were well received and both the barman and the handful of punters at the bar were happy to chat. Comfortable upholstered seating in sections around the walls & a slightly mad but star-quality West Highland terrier keeping an eye on proceedings. Hardly worthy of its brief spell at the top of the tree, but a very pleasant place for a few beers nevertheless.

In total agreement with all the previous posters. Come into its own since the smoking ban. I even take my mum here when she's in town. Late last year met some tourists in there from Germany -- they said it was the quaintest pub in Ingland. Not sure about that but a good range of ale, crisps and other snackettes [scratchings, scampi fries]. Pricey though, taking a point off for that.

Fantastic pub in the middle of a side street, off a another side street, off a thoroughfare in the middle of nowhere Lewisham. Feels more like a country village pub than a South London boozer. Up to 4 ales available.
Sure - when I go I'm the youngest person in the pub by, oh, 70 years or so, but I'm turning 30 this year and am starting to appreciate places that still make me feel young. Plus I think I'm a grumpy old man well before my time, so enjoy the like minded company.
Anyway, while it's a lovely pub, it's one dependent on support from the local community in order to survive, as it won't get any passing trade. If you live in Lewisham/Lee/Blackheath, you should try to stop in here when possible. To paraphrase that jobless-hippie waster Joni Mitchell, you won't know what you've got til'it's gone.

Great pub! Been going here for years and never fails to impress. Great beer, great staff. Its an oasis. Nothing better than a couple of pints in here on a cold winters night.

The best pub in the known universe, and Lewisham for that matter. Seems to be run by extended family and friends, and Laurraine makes all her punters feel like part of that family. Nice range of beers, lovely garden, and psychotic westie all add to a lovely experience.

A cosy little pub and v different to most in the area. Quieter than in Blackheath and more middle class, though not exclusively, than Lee. Beer is v good and it's great if you fancy a quiet natter of an evening.
|
Nice pub, but the beer quality was a little iffy during my visit.

If Carlsberg made pubs, this is what they'd look like. Probably the best pub in the world.
|
Gets better with every visit. Go there and cause an incident by nicking John the Architect's seat.
|
Classy little pub, very popular with the middle class brigade. A good place to avoid the chavs who have invaded the heath.
|
Lovely proper local pub. No music, rarely television, just good beer, chat and a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Great place to while away a couple of lazy hours.
|
Simply wonderful. I've lived in Blackheath for 10 years and yet only found this gem a couple of months ago. It does everything right, and long may it continue.
|
I found this place by accident when looking for a new flat in Blackheath. "Looks like a nice little boozer" I thought as I drove past.
I wasn't wrong. For the first time in my life I'm a regular in a pub.
The Dacre is best summed up as a village pub without a village. Friendly regulars, all ages and backgrounds, all getting on together and creating a really great atmosphere.
Hats off to Terry, John and the rest of the staff for making this the best little juicer in south-east London.
Check out the informal "library" set up by the locals along the wall in one of the booths!

Fantastic Pub. Great Beer, First class service from John the barman. Terry the landlord is a top bloke.
|
Looks hideous from the outside but don't let that put you off. Seriously. Well worth going inside, very friendly, good beer, comfortable local. Real village sort of feel to it.
|
quiet pub
very expensive
very smokey at times
few stares when u walk in very locals pub
best little pub in blackheath and the Guvnor knows it, thats why its pricey.
recent licence extension turned down as this little pub is band in the middle of a residential area.
so its 11pm chaps
get their early if u want a seat
terry, John and all the crew still their, look out for the posh glass collector Quentin cant miss him check suits etc. Give it a bash

Used to like this pub a lot, but it has become unbearably expensive. Pint of fosters lager, pint of bombardier bitter, vodka and orange, £9.20. Or maybe they don't like me?

great pub. Recently moved nearby and very happy that this is my local. Proper local feel and extremely friendly and welcoming.

The best pub within miles. I couldn't recommend more highly. Well kept real ale, friendly, clean, traditional. Better than anything in Blackheath.
|
Quite simply, it is the best 'local' I have ever been to.
No food, admittedly, or Sky TV, but you don't seem to miss either.
It is a gem, hidden in the backstreets behind Blackheath and it's hideous set of pubs.
A must.
|
This was my family local for years, and was always the nicest pub in the area. I recently visited after an absence of many years and was shocked to see the same barman working away.
A great, friendly local pub. I don't know if they had music on as you never would have heard it over the buzz of friendly conversation. One tip from years back which still applies. Don't get there late in the evening if you're aiming to rest your buttocks.
|
I've had the pleasure of drinking in this fantastic "local" for nearly 20 years and I can honestly say it's the best pub in the Blackheath / Lee area, by far. Terry the landlord is all a landlord should be and John the Barman never forgets a drink. Great place to go if you fancy a great pint and a good chat with a chum in a warm and friendly atmosphere . Oh and the beer garden is am amazing sun-trap in the summer.

Byfar the nicest, friendliest, most localish type pub in the whole Blackheath/Lee area (with the possible exception of the Hare & Billet). Really nice and totally non threatening atmosphere (and cheap as well - round of a stella and wine comes to a fiver). Difficult to find, but well worth it.

Nice and friendly. Still has pint jugs. The only thing lacking is a lock-in! Over to you Landlord?
Tim - 5 Sep 2003 16:22 |
Very traditional looking inside, nice big garden at the rear with plenty of tables. Staff are friendly and courteous. It's not going to make for a wild night out but if you want to have a drink with your mates and talk to them without losing your voice then this place is well worth a look.

Hard to find, but well worth it. As stated below by Cameron "Your original friendly local pub". Had a few nice ones in the garden last night. Will be back soon.

Often wander past this pub on way to one of the characterless cattlemarkets in Blackheath. Looks quite nice from the outside. May pop in if I get caught short on way home one night.

Your original friendly local pub. Alas, not many of these left these days.
