best pub in camberwell

Difficult as I find it to pass a pub by, I didn't object to my inner decision making monkeys who suggested that I go in and see what it's like.
I found real people, good atmosphere, basic pub that says, "I'm a pub I am."
One good pint of Hobgoblin later and I was left in a better mood for the rest of the day.

Been here twice now and both times no real ale was available. Some professional drinkers in this place, though.

pretty solid, down to earth south london boozer. good selection of real ales, a bonus as this seems a rarity in Camberwell. Always watch football here (but there is a huge bloody pillar slap band in front of the screen)- the crowd during a match is friendly and laid back. You'd have never have guessed this by the amount of south london brickys and mix of punters.
when i was in there once a bar brawl almost kicked off, but it was two pissed up regulars who were 60 odd so it was just funny! This has turned out to be my favourite pub in camberwell-good for a simple night down the boozer.

An old fashioned working class pub - not been gastro-fied, winebar-ified or any other changes, just a standard pub.

Very strange indeed. As previous reviewer says on a Saturday night it does feel like a trip back in time. We were sat having a quiet drink when suddenly a group of women of varying ages between 20 and 60 descended on the pub all dressed up and proceeded to drink white wine spritzers.

Went into this pub on a Friday night - my first thought was that I had been transported back in time to some point in the mid 70s. Once I recovered, I actually had a great night. They served a good (and lethal) pint of Hobgoblin, had friendly bar staff and good music.

Joiners now has an excellent DJ night on one Saturday a month. Next one is Saturday 26 March, then April 23, with a sound selection of punk funk and related tunes. Anything from ska through gang of four to franz ferdinand. Welcome to twatville.

It's a traditional old pub with a great mix of Camberwell locals and students. Every other Friday there's a great night called MESSY in the large back bar, there are DJs until 2am and it's just £1. Cheap booze and friendly staff. Front bar has recently been done up and is v.nice, back bar is a little less appealing but has nice vibe.

this place rocks for big-haired Keith Richards/Paul Weller lookalikes. It's this close to being twatville so get in there before it becomes "cool".

Very run down pub. Only pool table in Camberwell though (apart from the Ivanhoe) so credit where it's due. OK for watching the footy round the back. Talking of 'backs', watch yours all times in this boozer.
