| Excellent ramshackle local with extraordinarily friendly bar staff and a great south London clientele, kind of feels like being in someone's front room. ricorazzo - 11 Jun 2009 23:03 |
| Stumbled across the Bird’s Nest on Friday night en Route from Dog & Bell to New Cross, and loved it. I’m amazed pubs like this still exist. Anywhere else the central bar, bar stools, walls and pool table would have been torn out in favour of open-plan blandness. A three-piece band was playing in the corner (no cover charge). Not someone you’d listen to at home, but ideal for a night out. There was a friendly lass with a blue Mohawk behind the bar – when was the last time you remembered what the bar staff looked like? Didn’t realise there was bottled-ale behind the bar, until saw the comment below – like the Dog & Bell even better now. A pretty mixed clientele – in the right numbers. Age-wise, most looked like they remembered the days when most pubs were like this (except smokier, of course). According to the flyer I picked up, the night was called ‘I’m really excited about Deptford’ – well with pubs like this, I’m can see where they’re coming from. grumpy_old_owl - 9 Feb 2009 10:51 |
| Great little pub, very loud when bands are on, so not for a quiet drink if you visit on the weekend! Nice selection of bottled ales, and Deptford's usual mix of colourful locals and art student types. Pool table room, and loads of flyers and posters for local gigs, along with a few more tourist-y leaflets intended for people staying at the hostel upstairs. Smoking area out front leaves a lot to be desired, but it's a sign of the times..... jellybeansfortea - 30 Jan 2009 15:18 |
| Great pub. Got a real punky vibe these days, which is definately a good thing! XD Also, great barstaff who really know their onions drink wise. Watch out for the cheeky punk who works behind the bar, he's got a lot to say for himself. Some of it is pretty close to the bone. MrRight - 6 Nov 2008 12:38 |
