Great pub, good times. Rubbish quiz on a Tuesday though...

Got dragged to New Cross with friends last weekend and ended up having one of the best nights in a long time.
Didn't really know what to expect of the Amersham Arms as I had never been before, and I don't know whether having no expectations helped, but this place ticked all the right boxes for me.
Garden, cool staff, cheap but good food, live music and then a separate bar to chill out in... ticks, tick, tick.
I wouldn't normally venture so far South, but i will be now.

loving this pub! great for a quiet pint in the front with friends followed by a venue out back with the best live music going down south of the river, rate that!

Have visited the Amersham Arms three times in the last couple of months and enjoyed all of my visits. They have pub quizzes that are good fun, excellent food which is relatively cheap (I had a burger and chips which was the best I have had in a pub for £5.50), a reasonable choice of beer provided you like lager (only two ales), lots of eclectic live music in the evenings (electrogrime?) and lots of students who think you are ancient when you are 26 :-(

I LOVE IT! Went here last night for the first time after the refurb, and was amazed by the job they've done.

The pub is now very music focused, with live bands on an almost nightly basis in the back room. The music in the front bar was also (debatably) fantastic, playing a good mix of cool tunes from across all genres (notably Johnny Cash and Bobby Womack).

The Amersham also has a bar billards table, the first one I've seen in London outside of the "old man" haunts of The Pembury and The Glasshouse Stores. I didn't play, but the table seemed to be in excellent condition - better than that at the two pubs previously mentioned.

Not much on offer for the real-ale fanatics- they only had Spitfire on tap last night - but I was pleasantly surprised to find Stowford Press on as their house cider.

The menu is great, with locally produced food at excellent prices. I had a pie produced by Deptford Butchers (was on route to the footy, so it seemed appropriate) that was one of the better pies I've had in London.

It was only my first visit (post-refurb) last night, but I think I'll start making regular stops in here. It's probably the most similar place I've found in London to my all-time favourite bar (The Tap in Toronto). My only gripe is that it's full of Goldsmiths students (paying large fees studying to become unemployed artists), but they're easily ignored.
