Puzzle Pub, Crystal Palace

I'd rather have a high colonic in Tijuana than drink the beer in there again. It was awful!!! The only saving grace it has decent football, but these days you can get that in just about any pub. Avoid. walk down the hill to the railway or the Paxton

Real nice local boozer. Good ales. Nice beer garden excellent Sunday roast. Recommended. Staff were courteous. bit of a cliquish crowd. But would definitely return.

The Gipsy Hill Tavern, Upper Norwood

More like drinking in a library rather than a pub. Bar staff more intersted in the paper than serving. NO atmosphere. Better pubs in the area.Guinness off as well. Decent garden

The Paxton, Gipsy Hill

This is one crackin Pub. Live music on Saturday nights which was cool. A bit loud but the music was good. They also do a Jam Nite on Wed, which was also loud, but the quality of the musicians was amazing, real blues and jazz orientated. Someone must have cleaned up the garden in the rear beacuse it was spotless and filled with interesting characters.
Friendly bar staff that know how to pour a pint of beer helps as well. Pool Table, Big screen, Table footbal, Beer garden; What more could you want.
BEST PUB IN THE AREA BY FAR.
