This pub is okay so long as you go in with low expectations. The decor is dark and to be honest it doesn't look like much effort was put into the refurb. This pub is let down by the owner who puts more time and effort into promoting the comedy club (this is held upstairs from the bar) then he does in promoting the pub as a whole. It does have live music but this is very hit and miss and tends to be aimed at an older generation. It is good for quick drink but not somewhere you would choose to spend an evening out and it doesn't do food either which means it looses out to such places as, The Capitol, The Dartmouth Arms, Question Bar and The All In One, in fact pretty much all the other pubs/bars in Forest Hill.

Went to a great comedy gig on Sunday night here spoiled only by the terrible beer. Bought a Kronenbourg which was flat - when I questioned the staff about the bubble content she took an empty pint glass and used it to tap the top of my pint hard, which obviously produced a few bubbles, and then snarled "see - it's not flat". There is no choice - despite the large number of taps they only had Kronenbourg, Guinness and one ale (can't remember which) out of about 10 different taps. Steer clear of the pints and steer clear of the pub unless you've got a very good reason...

Only real ale on was Landlord when visited. Had a look at their comedy flyer which promised around 5. Not sure what the story is there.
