Garibaldi, Redhillback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Enjoyed my few pints of Pilgrim's Progress the other night. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Job Done!

Had a great Saturday night here this weekend. Despite not being a local we were welcomed by staff and regulars alike, live music was great (don't know how reguar this is) and the atmosphere was superb.

In furtherance to my comments of 9 Oct '06 I should say that since then some investment has been made in cooling equipment, and whilst the quality of the ale here hardly sets ones palate on fire, it is now acceptable and the efforts are showing. Fewer beers are served now, which is probably sensible given the relative lack of local interest, but nevertheless London Pride and Hog's Back TEA usually make an appearance.
Mention should also be made of the licensee who is jolly and engages well with all customers. I think her efforts have paid off as the pub does appear to attract more regular custom than before, and I would go as far as to say it is now a genuine local that is ticking over nicely. When busy, it has a certain warmth to the place.
On a recent darts tournament free sandwiches and nibbles were dished up at 10PM, which perhaps is an indication of the improvement in attitude here.
Well done, keep improving.

The Garibaldi is possibly one of the most frustrating pubs I know in this area for ale drinkers. Let me first acknolwedge that it is a well-presented, decent local pub with a friendly feel and a nice garden, with a reasonable selection of real ales to boot. It nicely avoids the chav factor because of its out-of-town location. Yet,apart from sometimes being inexplicably bereft of custom on some nights, despite the beer selection often being more adventurous than most the quality is so often decidedly poor. It is an unfortunate victim of the "warm" beer problem. Maybe few of the regular punters who may prefer the lagers are bothered about that sort of thing, but I say invest in some decent cooling equipment, folks, and you could become a genuinely impressive beer mecca for those of us who do care! It's up to you, but until it gets consistent I won't be a regular visitor.

has gone downhill since the landlord changed. the beer prior to that was good but was always really warm! it was explained that the owner wouldn’t repair the cellar door! unbelievable really.
last time I went in even the lager was undrinkable. shame.

The real ale is very good, the beer range has become very uninspiring, I feel this pub needs to make a decision very quickly in order to atract the pub goers that it lacks a more esoteric beer policy would help.

It seems like a bit of a regulars pub. Me and a group of friends came on friday and were met with harsh glares. And I overheard a regular asking the bar man whether he thought we were under-age... which I thought was a bit harsh. It serves good food though and has a couple of nice ales.

Gained brief notoriety in national & local newspapers after refusing to allow a blind person's guide dog into the pub.
