please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Atmosphere and people, staff and locals are jolly and friendly. Sky TV and Stella Artois, pool tables. Several rooms to choose from - loads of screens for watching football. No much real beer or ale. The pub inside and outside could do with a lick of paint to smarten it up a little. Overall a pretty good place (if you like lager).

Went in here on Saturday night and was fairly quiet. There was one random drunk person that had to be escorted out by the police, which added a bit of excitement to the evening!
It's not a bad pub, has pool tables and friendly staff and decor isn't too shabby either. Prices were ok but don't think they do Flowers anymore.
Real ale selection is minimal which is a shame. Has Sky TV and think they may also have Prem Plus, which is a real rareity in these parts.

This is a perfect local. Got a living room feel on one side and pool tables on the other. Lighting is just right pints are cheap, got a good friendly atmosphere.

Footy was on, so don't know what it's like on a normal night but there was a friendly atmosphere. Drinks so cheap I nearly passed out when told how much my round came to. Nice new pool table. Nice decor. Good pub. Music was a bit repetitive, way too much Eminem, the only downside!

An excellent evening, good beer, ok music, nothing wrong with the staff (looks or skills)& a real home for pool lovers. The cheapest beer ive found in london £1.45 a pint for flowers and Trevor the manager/ Landlord (not sure which is) is more than ok. I will be back......

Top notch boozer and only £2.15 a pint of stella. Lacks only one thing (a healthy male female mix) but even thats gettin better, this pub is welcoming and the music caters for all tastes. Keep it up Trev
Big up Micky blue for the charity walk round the Sahara

Well we finally managed to get back to the Arms, the public bar (the one with the pool tables) has been redecorated very nicely, much lighter and roomier feel than before, the three replacement tables are all new, otherwise the working formula has not been tampered with - An unpretentious South London pub with a special place in the heart of the discerning pool player.

Cracking little boozer-Trev knows what his punters are after and gives them exactly that: cheap beer, fit barmaids and plenty of football. Trust me, if your missus is giving you earache and you need to recover, there's only one place to go. Gutted about the fire, but it's gonna take more than that to stop the Manor

NEWS - There has been a fire at the Manor Arms - I spoke to the guy at Paradise Kebab who told me that this was about 4 weeks ago (so 2nd week of May-ish), but that Trev expects to be open again some time around the first week of July. Hopefully the three good quality pool tables will be restored intact.
General review - The Arms does indeed look a bit dodgy, but is in fact a top notch regular boozer, friendly locals and staff, no decent beer but the superb pool tables make up for that. Not the poshest place in the world, but let's face it, this is South London...

Looks quite shady from the oustanding but generally Good Beer, Good for Live Football & Pool and also loveley bar maids!!

Looks dodgy (run-down a bit on the outside), but friendly clientele and surprisingly good beer.
Generally the crowd is quite young - 20 and 30-somethings, and not the sort of place you get dressed up to go to!

Great little boozer. External looks are awful, but venture in and you are treated to a nicely styled, pool table fest with good beer, shifty locals and a nice view up Streatham High Road.
