| I made a special trip here up from the country to meet some old friends last night. It was my first visit and I was not disappointed. Some very pleasant beers from Meantime Brewery were had in a calm, relaxed and friendly (contrary to some previous comments below)atmosphere. The stout was particularly noteworthy. We popped next door for some cheaper food then I had to catch a train but my friends went back to the Union, so impressed were we by the place.I look forward to making a return visit before too long.

| A few years on from my first review... this place is a few aggravating steps away from perfection. The crowd can get irritating on Friday/Saturday nights (sending you fleeing to the unpretentious Albert down the road) but it's lovely when it's quieter. Prices have gone up a fair deal over the past few years but the beer remains lovely. But the staff can be aloof - and having overheard the bald bar manager last night bossing his staff about and refusing to move from his own position behind the bar ("go out there and clear the garden, and make sure they move"), it doesn't make you feel good about the place. darryl - 9 Jun 2008 13:06 |
| Use to spend a fair amount of time in here but the beer made me lose far more of my life than was warranted by the amount I actually drank of it. It does bad things to my brain! That said, I only drank the raspberry as it was the only one I liked, even though I am normally an appreciator of many lagers and ales. The atmosphere is trying to be a bit over pretentious, which is definitely apparent in the prices, especially of the food (although it is very nice). The garden is quite pretty and nice in the summer. It doesn't get as crowded as the more central Greenwich pubs with outside space. I found a fair proportion of the bar staff a bit aloof and the landlord a bit sarcastic and patronising at times (although that may have just been me). Its not a bad pub, just not really my kinda place. Seems to go down well with some I know though. KittyP - 27 May 2008 17:26 |
| After walking from the Thames Barrier to Greenwich and a quick pie and mash from the food market, £2.50 very good value, I dropped in for a quick one at the Greenwich Union. Adanams Bitter and a raft of Meantime beers including Helles, Kolner, London Pale Ale (assume it's the ordinary pale ale), London Stout, Wheat, Raspberry and something labelled "Special" whch might have just have been a spare tap. Also a list of 30 or so bootled beers, some Meantime but some unusual ones including Rodenbach Grand Cru as well as the normal Belgians. Sunny day so I headed into the beer garden with a pint of the stout which was very tasty although at £3.40 a little pricy. Touristy place, as is to be expected on a Sunday afternoon, all wood and generally clean. Definitely worth a visit and I will hope to be back. GuideDogSaint - 20 Apr 2008 20:37 |
| Polite, middle class, liberal, arty, woody, expensive. Echoing noise and loud banging front door. One cask, Adnams Bitter (a great beer), but the draw here is this pub is the main outlet for the Meantime brewery - eight kegs and a variety of bottles (nothing cask conditioned as Meantime is a lager rather than an ale brewery). Food is about £10 a main dish. I like the place. SilkTork - 16 Apr 2008 19:52 |
