I have lived in the area for a few years now, and over the course of this time I have given the Southwark Tavern a number of chances to impress me, but it just does not do it. Everytime I have been in there has been something wrong - poor service, ages wait on food, dodgy beer - and it is just frustrating. An amazing location, fantastic building and all those hidden rooms downstairs - physically a great pub. Staff and stock let it down.
Went two nights ago and again staffing was poor. Slow, uninterested and rude. I've been in this business for near 10 years now but even a child knows - it's the staff that make the place.

Do better Southwark Tavern. I'm not trying you again, but others will I'm sure.

I would have always recommended this pub to friends and visitors from outside of London as the pub itself has a charm about it and very cosy.

Unfortunately during the daytime yesterday I took my Canadian friend there for a drink hoping he would enjoy a drink in there just like I have frequently in the past. We were greeted by the worst reception there by two of the people working behind the bar. I witnessed one of the bar staff giving attitude to a young lady who was trying to order a drink. She was shocked and embarrassed. Then it was my turn...

I ordered a Peroni and I was served a Fruli. Two very different sounding drinks. I explained to the young Italian bar man he had given me the wrong drink and he started a vicious vocal attack on me. I left shortly after feeling sad and not ever wanting to recommend or go to that particular establishment ever again.

A good selection of well kept ales, but service really slow. Considering it was a busy Thursday evening, only 2 bar staff appeared to be serving and they were pretty poor at working out who was next.

Interesting comment from Tricksy. But then he is the manager....

Some cracking good ales on tap, the pub is slightly leaning towards trendyville, with prices to match - though in fairness it's in a fairly prime location next to Borough Market. Seemed to do a decent job on a busy Sunday lunchtime.
