| This is the kind of pub you want, an ideal place to relax, a proper extension of your front room, which essentially, is what a public house should be. The ale is great, normally 4 pumps with ever changing themes from around Great Britain. There is also a wide selction of bottled continental lagers. Even the normal brand lager on tap is well kept. On my visit the Harvey's was top notch. Ultimatley, Hoopers is clean, respectable and a credit to the community of the East Dulwich-Camberwell border. Note however, that the lead barman can be a little off but that's the Basil Fawlty in him, I think. Good Pub! morealeplease - 28 Mar 2008 17:10 |
| I agree with Uncle Gareth, an asset to the area. They currently have 3 cask ales on, Harveys Best, Itchen Valley Godfathers & Stonehouse Cambrian Gold. Beers coming up are announced as Harveys Old,Dark Star Spring Equinox,Moor Revival & Merlin's Magic,Wolf Ale,Ramsgate Gadd's No5,Springhead Liberty,WJ King's Mother-in-Law,and Hepworth's Sussex Bitter. If that is not an interesting choice, I don't know what is.The pub has recently attained Cask Marque status, and don't wish to compromise the quality by offerring too many beers at once. Give it a try! vivienlockhart - 18 Mar 2008 18:37 |
| What an outstanding moaner the last poster is. No wonder he thinks there's no atmosphere if its full of him and his mates trying to get out of date offers from old posters after they've paid the price written on the pump.. There are two beers at all times, and they are both nice. I usually have a couple of each, and if I don't like them there are nice bottles available too. And the barman is always very amiable, chatting with customers who wn to chat and leavng people alone if they don;t. As I said before, such a change from the old Ivanhoe and an asset to the area.

| I’m starting to give up on this place after a very promising introduction at its first mini-fest. Subsequent visits have produced a sliding choice and consistent lack of atmosphere culminating Sunday20th when the barman condescendingly explained that, despite four handpumps carrying clips, only two were ever on offer outside festivals. When I spotted a blackboard outside offering Harveys at £1.99, rather than the £2.90 we paid, he smugly suggested that no-one walked past that side of the notice and the current offer was on the other side (admittedly shown at the pump). I admire what the owner was aiming for by avoiding mainstream-only beers, and heaven knows the area needs a decent pub, but he’s not quite there and is unlikely to build up any sort of custom with rude staff putting off the few people who do venture in. trainman - 1 Feb 2008 11:28 |
| We were impressed by the selection of proper beer when we visited, including Hop Daemon and Bear Brewery ales. Jamie the guv'nor made us toasted sandwiches and made us welcome. Not a particularly cheap pub, but well-kept, smart and modern in a traditional sort of way, if that makes sense... A fine pub a short walk from East Dulwich station. Alph_river - 20 Oct 2007 23:22 |
