| Odd atmosphere in that it feels like the basement of a college frat house and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Two evening visits - first was quite empty though it was a Sunday evening. Another visit, mid-week, was a bit more densely populated with footie fans watching a match. Seemed more enjoyable with the boys cheering their team on. Smallish selection of real ales but I enjoyed the meantime London Pale Ale aerodrome - 17 Apr 2018 00:33 |
| I made a return visit to the Sheaf in November, following a crawl of pubs in the Borough Market area. My experience was very similar to last time, with the place being crowded. Tables had lots of uncollected glasses on them. Ales were Hammerpot Shooting Star, Navigation Patriot, North Cotswold Tumbling Jack, Upham Boomerang & Redcar Golden Ale & Autumn Ale. I recall having the Autumn Ale, which wasn't the best. blue_scrumpy - 1 Feb 2018 18:09 |
| Some interesting history of the site;- http://boakandbailey.com/2012/07/beckys-dive-bar-southwark/ Or is it? There are now two bars at this address, under this building: the other is the Katzenjammers bier keller. So which was the dive bar in times gone by? Tabazan - 8 Dec 2015 16:52 |
| Full of suited after work lager drinkers. Tried two ales - both in woefully dead condition. alebarry - 7 Oct 2015 11:21 |
| My first ever visit to this GBG listed pub that is neatly tucked away underneath the Hop Exchange. Came here to tick it & also to watch the Champions League final. Just before 7.30pm and the pub is pretty packed. Plenty of bar staff on so getting served was not a problem. 10 ales across the pumps, split into 2 lots of 5. I went for pints of Frog Island Lock, Stock, Barrel @ 4.0%, a decent pint and I decided to stay on this for the whole evening. Good manager who gave us a couple of free burgers while the game was on. Decent crowd enjoying the footie, good ales, plenty of choice so the Sheaf is worthy of a 2nd visit. lezford - 22 Jul 2015 16:56 |
