This is now really bad. A few years ago it was popular. Assume due for conversion to flats or something. Shame.

Very tired inside, but I guess some people like that. The ceiling beams are still covered with those rubbish quotes and phrases about drinking that became all the rage (thankfully briefly) in the mid-nineties. My CSI-style forensic deducing leads me to conclude that this explains the state of the interior.
Beer's nothing great (IPA was rubbish) and the place has a slightly down-at-heel feeling generally.

Have been using this place since Jim Thompsons banned football after the dreaded 'refurb'.
It has friendly regulars, welcoming barstaff and landlord - exactly what's required from a local and a refreshing change from Putney's ever growing (and unwanted), plural poncery.
nice.

No live music anymore. No Food. Grubby toilets. Sport when the landlord feels like it. And some offensive and loud talking clients.
In my opinion, dont bother.

Had a drink here on sevral occassions. Very mixed crowd from Builders and plumbers, to students and a few people who seem to annoy everyone else.
If you need any work done on your house, then this place is the place to go with its variety of workers, all willing to offer free advice once you get to know them.
Sky sports has just been returned after the landlord decided to remove it. According to regulars in the pub, this was down to the fact that one table of people (who seem to think that everyone should hear their conversation) complained about football being on. A lot of the regulars moved to other pubs, but sometimes come back.
A mixture of beers, largers, spirits etc. Used to do food, but not anymore.
Many years ago, used to be a gay pub. Still have a few people coming in, all seem to be accepted by the regulars.
A good place to use as a meeting point for friends before moving on. Not worth staying for a night out.
Now has a later liscense for friday and saturnday.

I quite liked this place for a swift half on the way home. Had forgotten what GK IPA should taste like - but here it was excellent.

Everyone descend on this pub for the 18th October for some top quality boozing as 3 class lads come of age. An opportunity to witness the fitness dressed in such propostity such as Putney Leisure Centre, Popularity and if you're really lucky, a bisep. Expect 100 ridiculously dressed people. Loving it!!
As this pub goes: rather variable clientel, grubby toilets and furniture, good locals and provocatively arrogant young drinkers, Wait a second that's us.

teeters on the brink or being a 'normal' pub - i.e has a mix of types and ages.
okay but nothing special. Live football.

Please do not compare this dive to the old Jolly Gardeners!
Putney is not exactly overflowing with good boozers and this one is no exception to the rule.
2.5 out of 10.

Bit of a 'local' pub. Went in there for the first time a few weeks back (on the weekend) and was confronted with 'chav central'. Couldn't move for Burberry, tattooed scaffolders and teenage mothers of 3. However, on a mid-week re-visit it had a completely different clientele and a much more relaxed feel.

Bliss on Fulham match days. None of the crowds of the High St & possibly one of the last yuppie free pubs in the area. Sky Sports on several TVs & the IPA was pretty good as well. If you liked the old Jolly Gardeners (pre sofas), then you will like this as well.

This is a nice local pub - makes a change from the chain pubs on the high street. Not sure what the other comments on this sight were based on, but I can only assume they caught this pub on a VERY bad day.

Used to be one of the most bohemian joints in SW15 believe it or not. Leaded glass windows and dark, dark wood gave it a slightly sinister look.
Now look at it! Jesus wept! If you wan't an indifferent pint in smelly surroundings pop in! It's my local too :-( !!!!!!

Very disappointing pub. The live musicians sing like pop idol rejects and on Friday nights it's full of wide boys. The last time I went in there 3 blokes had a fight over a failed drug deal. Not the best...

Lacks any kind of character. Used to be a 'gay' pub, and was probably a lot more fun then than now.
Shame it is such a dead loss as it is the nearest pub to my flat!

This place is actually quite good. The food is good, the atmosphere alright. Nice to watch the football. Has a locals feel, rather than a Putney 'rah' feel.
