I like this place.
It is more for a quick pint before or after train journeys but always seems well run, good mix of punters and ALWAYS has the footy on :)

Paddy Briggs is totally correct - got charged £3.80 for a premium lager before the last test against India
I used to often drop in here for a sharpener before the cricket but probably won't bother again

Absolutely outrageous profiteering today by this pub. Beer is normally priced at around £2.70 / £2.80 a pint. Today Youngs ordinary was £3.50 a pint. The explanation given by the bar staff was that prices have increased "whilst the Oval cricket is on". This is an outrage!

top boozer. i've been barred twice but they love me really. very good for sports and a singsong.

not a bad local pub. big screens for sport. nothing special about it, attracts a bit of a eng-er-land crowd for the football. if you just want a local this could be your cup of tea. for a bit of character head to the pubs in kennington, for a lively time head to clapham/camberwell, for food and a different experience go to the portugese tapas bars on lambeth road.

The staff are extrememly good, and so is the beer. I think it s a bit dear for its location, but it does have lots of big plasma screens. In fact I've seen people come in during a lunch break during a Test match and never go back to the Brit Oval. The food is of a high quality. The manager has done very well because ~10 yera sago this pub was a right dump.

Pleasant South London pub. Lots of locals adding an atmosphere of laughter and lots of big screens showing sport. Good beers, average London prices and a cricket ball's throw from the Oval.
I'm going to watch the Champions League Final tonight, can't think of many places round there better to watch a game as a neutral.

Bog standard pub. Usual range of beers etc. Nice area to sit outside. Oh, and of course handy for the Brit Oval. 5/10.

The good old Hangover Arms. Good place to meet when Engand are at the Oval. Barmy Army, Barmy Army!

Nice friendly pub where you are always welcome, barmaids are quite nice to. You get a mixture of people ranging for instance from a penny to a pound. Nice atmosphere and sports are always on. Great stuff.
|
Near the Oval cricket ground and opens up early on big match days so is an ideal meeting point. Nice looking pub and decent beer.

I have been banned from the pub for being an arsenal supporter!!!
I live nearby and often have a drink there but obviously never again. I would like to point out that i was not drunk, was on my own and am a female of nearly thirty! I am offended that cheering my eam on could upset he barman to such a degree!
