It's a Walkabout. Does what it says on the tin. Lot of people hate them. I wouldn't drink in them all the time, but now and again they do the job, and whilst it's not a great place it isn't in my view as bad as most people make out.

Hi All. Amazing how many people slate a pub where lots of people go and have a great time. The music is always a good mix of styles and the service is efficient. While there is not a large selection of lager, there are some very nice bottles in the fridge (I highly recommend either Speights or Mac's) Sure it doesn't sell warm ale and have 10 old guys sitting around complaining they have to go outside to smoke now, but that is not I look for in a pub. I'm a Kiwi and have been here about 10 times since it opened two years ago. I have had a good time on every visit and have never seen any trouble like fights etc. Sure the occasional person gets more drunk than they should and may be a bit loud, it's just more noticable when they have accent. I was here for Australia day with some friends last month and it was brilliant. It is also a good place to watch sport (you can stand next to someone supporting the other team without having to worry about getting stabbed - or is that just a problem when watching soccer (sorry football)).

Oh dear. This is the most miserable excuse for pub that you will ever have the misfortune to come across. You might think this is an exaggeration but it cannot be stressed how awful a place this is.

Dirty, smelly, dark, grim, characterless. The pub attracts the most horrid creatures to be found anywhere in Putney. It's Chav Central. Of course there are no ales, only mass-produced keg products, and even the selection of bottled beers is grim.

If there is one pub in Putney you should avoid, then this is it.

However if you're feeling a little bored of the Putney bar-dining scene* then it might be worth popping in just for a giggle, but you won't stay long, that is for certain.

* which lets be honest is pretty dull (with the exception of a few decent pubs)

not really for me - but honestly, it is a walkabout and it does what it says on the tin! Shame its there though... If you want somehere decent go round the corner to the Brick!

Just a comment regarding the reviews slating this place: They make it sound like a prison riot has broken out in the bog of eternal stench. The reality is much, much worse!
