| Now reopened. New management, some new staff. The place looks amazing. They still have bands on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays as well as karaoke and quiz nights. There is a totally new menu. The place looks imaculate, very clean & tidy and most welcoming. I would certainly recommend it to anyone. Byron - 20 Jan 2012 13:33 |

| This is primarily a live music venue featuring good talented local bands which is great if you are a live music fan as i am. However the management leaves a lot to be desired. I was at the venue on Friday 20th May listening to a really good band called State of Mind when half way through one of their numbers the manager thrust a mobile phone in the face of the lead singer and told him to talk to the agent!!! Apparently the management thought the band were doing too many slow numbers. This is by far the rudest thing that I have ever seen at a live gig and the irony is that most of the people were really enjoying the music. Great live music venue but I would not go back there if this is the way the management treat their bands. kentelectrics - 22 May 2011 20:58 |
| Live band on Saturday night, usually good, varied music. Efficient barstaff even when busy. Good atmosphere, varied aged of clientele. Sport showing on large screens. cdo - 1 Aug 2009 22:26 |
| It's criminal that this pub and Crayford are dripping in history and most people don't know it. There was an outcry years ago when this pub changed it's name to The Orange Kipper. This pub should be an old fashioned family pub selling good food, real ale and lots of character. Instead it's a shell of a pub. Although you only have to look around the town to see what people think of Crayford and it's history. If loud live rock music, live football on big screens and lager with zero atmosphere is your bag...You'll love this place. It's probably the best pub venue for the areas amateur bands. You have to ask yourself what it is you look for in a pub. If you're looking for good beer, friendly people in a nice old fashioned pub...'The Bear' is not for you. tequilaboy - 5 Feb 2009 16:39 |
