This is quite an odd bar, but if you drink during their happy-hour it's worth going to for a couple if you are in the area. We paid £3 per pint until 6pm and then prices went above £4.

With it's pretentious alternative title of 'Zeitgeist@ The Jolly Gardeners', and hilariously high perching couches, it has the feel of a tw*ts bar from The City. The barmaids were friendly and offered us tasters. We tried two beers I've never heard of which were fine, but I'm not sure they sell anything really exciting. I'm no expert on German beer but they serve Kaltenberg Hell (brewed in Blackburn by Thwaites), and Lowenbrau which is cheap in Sainsbury's. The locals were a mix of Germans watching football on the big screen and grumpy office boys.

Indeed Bart, a fine establishment serving very good German beer served by real German barmaids, about 10 mins walk from Vauxhall station.

I know I've posted before, but I like to keep up to date with my opinions... The Jolly Gardiners is a strange thing. It's an entirely German pub, in an area not known for being brilliant, but it's still mad good. The staff REMAIN really knwledgeable about the beer they are selling, I've never seen anyone being surly or unfriendly, and I can't think of anywhere else that would sell the beers they do.

Excellent

Jurgen and Hikke have pulled this off, against all odds. I remember the Jolly gardeners of old and it's definately better now. However the beer is horrendously expensive, so I rarely go in. The 'token' system in place during the world cup means you end up spending £4 a pint, absolute con. I've always found the food to be slightly odd in here, especially the world cup 'buffets'. Basically, worth a visit but don't make it your regular haunt if you're not rich and stupid.
