Pleasant and comfortable oasis from the bustle of pubs on Borough Higg Street: but £3.80 for a pint of Flowers?

really disappointed with this place - i used to pass it a lot and thought that it looked a really interesting pub but the beer is atrocious.

The bar lady attempted to pour a pint of Harvey's but only managed to get 1/2 pint from the barrel - she then offered 1/2 pint Flowers to top that up and I agreed - i tried the Harveys but it was undrinkable and the Flowers wasn't much better - had to leave the pub after 2 gulps.

Decent little boozer which feels like a hidden gem between the backstreets
Unspoilt interior and location give it a tradional feel
Packed just enough for an early Sat afternoon atmosphere without feeling unwelcoming or disturbing
Only stayed for a swift one but would return at any time

Dropped into here a few weeks ago with a group of eight 30-something mates as the second pub on a stag do bar crawl, at about 5.30pm on a Saturday. Being an early visit the pub was quiet - we probably doubled the number of patrons.

A friendly barman, presumably the landlord, served us with a bit of chat about the recent purchase of the Sharp's brewery (including "Bet it won't take them long to f*** that up..." - such honesty I appreciate!), and let us know that the footy was on at the other side of the bar if we wanted it.

The general get-up of the place was very much to our taste, a proper quirky old-style London pub, plenty of brass fittings, densely patterned wallpaper/carpets, and framed pictures everywhere. The fact that it was quiet suited us down to the ground - we didn't make a lot of noise, and it felt like we were very welcome.

Mix of Doom Bar for the ale drinkers (which was very nice), your average lager and cider for the others. Can't comment easily on exact prices as it was all in one big round, but was one of the more expensive rounds of the day.

This is a pub I want to go back to try after work some time, despite not living in London.

What a dump.

How can they justify £3.70 for a pint of Harveys Sussex, which was v poor. When a pint of quality Sussex is only £3.25 in the Market Porter.

Never again.
