Another rainy bank holiday weekend ahead?
Don't worry - there's a great night planned for you this saturday (27th May) with my band "The Antidote" headlining a three act evening.
We play the very best classic rock from the 70's starting at AC/DC and ending at ZZ-Top with loads in between.
Supporting us we have "Baglan" - a virtuoso guitarist/singer and "The Fore" - a great fun 60's/Mersy-beat originals band.
£3.00 on the door is a tiny price to pay for 3 acts and a late bar.
See you all there.
Cheers
Gazzer

Well Peach rock and pop covers band are playing here on Saturday 13th May.
Please come and support us!

This is an up and coming music venue well worth keeping an eye (and ear) on, has the potential to become the area's premier music venue. Some excellent bands play here, look out for Georgie Pie - high energy blues rock three piece (playing Sat 5th May), and The Hoggz (play about once a month) - very entertaining and talented five piece rock covers band. Get there before 9.00pm for free entry, it's only £3 after though. This pub used to have a bad reputation a few years ago but the current management have sorted most of the problems and it's much better now. Peach are a good rock and pop covers band band BTW, ignore the earlier bad comment about them.

This has the potential to be a great live music venue in time. Lee and Libby are doing great things to revamp the place and I'm sure the booze available will improve too. Sadly the person responsible for disrespecting two good bands on this page isn't courageous enough to display their name. This is a great website that can be used to share all sorts of information about pubs all over the UK, including great live music and shouldn't be used as a resource to post stupid comments about bands that are simply untrue.

Not the pub it was more than 10 years ago, particularly the beer. Dreadful fizzy bitter, but then most lager heads cant taste anything so won't care. However, the music policy remains good & reason alone to go.

Oi you lot!, Gazzer here from "THE ANTIDOTE". We play hard rockin' classic covers from the 70's.
Were are chuffed to be heading up the bill at The Grove Tavern on Saturday 27th May.
It wil be a three-band night and our good friends "The Fore" (a fun Mersey-beat band) will be one of the support acts and there will be one other yet to be announced.
This is a great boozer and Lee and Libby are working really hard to turn it into the liveliest and friendliest live music venue in the area. Good luck to them and get a bunch of your mates together and come along on the 27th May for a top night. First band on at around 9.00.
You can contact the pub for more information on this and other live music events.
Hope to see you all there - hundreds of you!!!

Who else is BORED STIFF of hearing about Peach and what a great pop band they are? It's a shame, this pub always seems rather empty because it does have some great bands on (but NOT Shit and Run or 'Peach' - are they all fruits or something?)- a good atmosphere on Saturday nights woudl be even better if they could get some crowds in there once in a while.... No cask beer to be had, just fizzy stuff, and miserable (and deaf) bar staff.....

Had a very interesting visit last year. Visited with a couple of celtic fans to watch an old firm game and kept my mouth (complete with London accent) very firmly shut. A mostly republican contingent, some of whom, once fuelled by ale, launched into some charming IRA songs. Not rushing back myself, but some may enjoy...

This Sunday, April 24th, The Grove will be holding another benefit gig to raise cash to send a local lad to Boston for much needed medical help. There'll be 7 bands on two stages, (although not all at the same time), plus auctions of, amongst other things, lots of football related stuff. Bands include Obviously 5 Believers, Georgie Pie, The Soul Bandits and more. The link below, if navigable, will tell you more courtesy of The South London Press.

Great Pub. Llive music and good bear. Not always the most welcoming of pubs but woth it for the music!
|
Fond memories of this pub. By far the best in South Wimbledon. I particularly enjoyed the cabarat from 'Crazy Legs Crane' and playing pool with the Kosovans. As for having your face re-arranged (earlier post)....there's nothing wrong with a 'bit of boxing' to liven things up. Long live the GPT.....
|
now i'm actually a fan of this boozer, but it's not without its risks. picture the scene: bad day at work, i wanna go out for a cheeky couple.....i rock in and what do you know....they got bungee jumping in the car park. this is bringing me down, but not only that, as soon as i get a pint this geezer asks me to check out his conker. that's not a euphemism.....add to that the time there was a geezer sat in there on a sunny summer's day singing ``satisfaction'' at the top of his voice. Golf Papa Tango, we salute you.
|
April 9th - 10pm 'til late catch Obviously 5 Believers at The Grove, the best live music pub in the area.
|
i will be back!
|
the best live music in the area!!great staff but where are all the nice bargirls i saw in August??????????get them back!!!!
|
Don't go in wearing a suit, unless you are bored of your face and would like it rearranged. Not the warmest welcome I've ever come across.
|
Still the best Pub in the World!!!
You meet friends for life!!
Keep going guys!!

This is a fine local boozer. Has live bands virtually every week, a great selection of Thai food available, two massive screens for the sport AND a pool table! The bar staff are friendly and efficient (especially the American lad) and the pub has a nice feel to it. Don't let the decor or surrounding areas put you off, this pub is a definite winner.
anonymous - 22 Dec 2004 11:35 |
Great live music, decent beer.....
Adam - 20 Oct 2004 18:59 |
been down there a few times recently had some superb djs on a friday hope they come back
deano - 17 Oct 2004 13:08 |
Possibly the most unfriendlist pub I've ever been in. If you are a normal person wearing anything more than scruffs and thinking of going in there then forget it. For example, I went in with a friend and two girls at the bar started growling at her "So when did this place turn posh then ?" and continued to bore holes eyes in the back of her head for half an hour.
I've just moved to Wimbledon and I'd always wanted to go in and watch the bands and play pool, but this pub is well off my list. No wonder it's always pretty near empty whenever I walk past.
Landlord....SORT IT OUT !
Mike - 11 Oct 2004 13:10 |
Good for watching the GAA Guinness is good. Go with the comment below about the Russian barmaid. Add also the American guy to the list. Very brash.

NICE PUB(APART FROM THE STROPPY LITTLE RUSSIAN BARMAID).SOME GOOD BANDS, APART FROM HIT AND RUN!!I THINK BRYONY HAD BETTER GET OUT A BIT MORE?
norman - 3 Jul 2004 16:53 |
Keep an eye out for the band called Hit and Run, they do some great covers.
Briony - 17 Jun 2004 12:41 |
Great Pub, fantastic atmosphere with very good live music on friday nights. Full of very nice people and a great favorite with the AFC Wimbledon fans.
Nye - 4 May 2004 17:35 |
The AFC Wimbledon players and fans tend to go here after away matches. Nice place with a good atmosphere.
Joe - 12 Mar 2004 20:11 |
I like it in here , get stars from the Bill sometimes when they finish filming. I want to be a policeman when I grow up
Dave - 6 Feb 2004 15:20 |
They've started doing food in the evenings, which is actually quite nice. Regulars are always quite friendly (and pissed).
Briony - 4 Feb 2004 14:47 |
