| This pub appears as though it can't make up it's mind, wether to go for a modern or old fashioned look. Seems to be attempting to pull of both looks. A 1940's radio situated next to a fruit machine. An original tiled mosaic wall coupled with modern high tables and stools. Seems to be targetted towards a younger crowd. However, on our visit (6pm on a Tuesday evening), there were only 3 older blokes in the front bar all sitting seperately and drinking on their own. 2 looked normal, but one was mumbling to himself. There's an equally largish bar area at the rear with a pool table. To be fair, there were a few more younger customers back there, but the music was louder. Music was a decent mix of 80's stuff from my era. Dire Straits and what have you. I suspect this pub will attract a large crowd of young types on the weekend. I was neither impressed or unimpressed. Would nip in for a pint of Addlestones Cider if passing, but wouldn't go out of my way to return. Pat_Bateman - 8 Dec 2010 15:27 |
| I used to be regular at this pub in 1972, when I was in England as a student. There used to be a lady there named Anne she was really a wonderful lady who made me feel at home every time I visited the pub. I used to go by the name Toffee, I was known as Toffee since my childhood, and when I went to the UK I continued to use the name. Anne used to work there with her husband, there was a young Irish girl there called Pat, I loved the Joiners and the people there too, I loved my 'pint a bitter' do not get it here in Malaysia, Bitter is so English. I also used to love the Carlsberg Draft they used to have in that pub and most of all the atmosphere in the pub. If I ever come back to London that is the first place I'd visit. If Anne is still around send her and her husband my love. toffee toffeesturn - 7 Dec 2010 11:58 |
| I am pleased to say that this pub now sells beer. Old Speckled Hen was pretty good whilst Courage best was passable. lambethdoylee - 16 Nov 2010 15:22 |
| We love this pub. We even love the toilets, they are oldfashioned but clean and they add to the ambience of the place. we love the furniture too, its suits the pub and adds to the character of it.. This is a real pub. The bar at the front is fabulous, all real wood and polish and little candles and orb lights. There is a lovely mosaic on the wall and even the doors are authenthic and the floors are worn wood. the barstaff are really friendly and welcoming and polite and the whole atmosphere is so comfortable and easygoing. The guinness is gorgeous in there and they have a free jukebox on MOndays and loads of oldie stuff can be played - 70's is our favourite as the best bands were playing then. but there are hundreds of different artists, eras and styles on the jukebox which is great. I wish the Joiners was really close to where I live as I would quite happily go in there on my own which I wont in other pubs being a lady customer. this pub does not need mood lighting! - its has its own wonderful mood. My sister and I love this pub and are so glad we discovered it. May it never change! We only wish they did cheese and onion sandwiches, ploughmans and sausage rolls like the pubs used to. NO lasagne or rocket salads or paninis etc! just honest good old ;ploughmans etc. But never mind cos the Joiners is great. Look at the architecture outside, the gold gilding and black artefacts,signs, its beautiful. Sunnysmiler - 19 Oct 2010 17:17 |
| Everthing comes to he who waits. We've been watching the changes over the past few months and the Joiners is looking really good. At last they've given in to pressure and have 3 reall ales (in great condition too)and Addlestones Cider. Popped in last Saturday and along with the Adnams Broadside, a cracking band called Select Edit made us late for dinner. It was worth it. Now definitely one of the best watering holes in SE5 - with some work on the toilets it might almost be perfect. homeboy - 9 Aug 2010 13:56 |
