| Rather shabby down at heel pub that seemed overwhelmingly populated by older men. Not somewhere I'd rush back to but the pint of Harveys I had was perfectly well-kept. JonW999 - 20 Feb 2011 23:55 |
| I think the Hob is a great pub and personally find the last comment about the pool table attracting a "grotty crowd" rather snobby. It's not the Dartmouth Arm but I think it's all the better for it. It has a good mix of people (which personally I like) a good quiz on a Thurs, live music, comedy etc. You can order food in from outside which is also unusual as it's rare to find a pub these days that isn't trying to flog you chunky skin on chips at an extortionate price. It's a pub for people who like pubs, not people who like pub restaurants. To my knowledge it's also the only pub in Forest Hill to let dogs in and the staff always offer my dog a bowl of water which I think is a nice touch. I think it could do with a few more furnishings, curtains or a couple more sofas perhaps as it does feel slightly bare, but other than that I think it's a really good pub and I've never had a bad night in there. wobblymoth - 25 Oct 2010 13:30 |
| A very good pub for comedy (the upstairs bit often has big name comics trying out new material for a few quid) but I've never found it to be a nice place to drink. The pool table tends to attract a grotty crowd and it never feels very homely in there. The guest ales are very good but it's not the most friendy pub I've ever been into. halfafarthing - 12 Oct 2010 16:16 |
| Seemed a plesant enough pub. There were three real beers on which were all kept well enough, Harveys, Doon Bar and Oxford Gold. norwoop - 22 Aug 2010 21:58 |
| Thought this was a really good venue. Lots to do. Only downside was £3 a shot of Sourc ... but I doubt many readers of this site will care about this drink ! tortoise68 - 7 Jul 2010 13:50 |
