Can the Land-lady please CHEER UP !!
I brought in a load of lads the other day (15+) and spent a good �200 but we were told to be quiet, that we'd upset a local, 1 local !, apparently in his seat ... for gods sake .... Greenwich has gone mad.
We won't be back.

The Greenwich Union, Greenwich
Where do I start .....
For the past 3-4 years I have been coming to this pub to sink a couple of beers and perhaps some grub pre Charlton FC 3pm kick off (beer is required before any CAFC match!)
The odd pushchair used to nudge our bar stools as we supped our beers, no problem, but I went in on the 31st March at midday to a bleedin KINDERGARTEN. There must have been at least 10 children under 7 in the bar, this is just not cricket! Why should I be surrounded by kids in an environment which has been purposely created for adults?
This isn't a micro-brew pub anymore it's an extension of a typical young familys' lounge. I can't possibly drink here anymore with kids running up and down the joint, crying, shouting or just simply being there, it's not right.
So our custom is lost, the beer is commendable, the bar has charm but it's totally overrun with young parents who think that punters like us are happy to drink with their kids ..... utterly wrong. The Union is dead, long live Richard I (next door minus the rug-rats)

It's an ok pub I guess, shows the footie, has a pool table, edible food, but will someone please sort out the toilets !!
No soap, a hand dryer that has died, no toilet paper and how am I supposed to pull ladies with no mirror !!

Ligi you clown, take note of my comments from a year ago + ensure that turd isn't oozing out of every Shakespeare orifice.
Also the black goooo still haunts me.
"A half decent Bloody Mary was spoiled by the general lack of hygiene in this pub.
The toilets were in an absolute state with faeces everywhere.
After collecting a small win from the Quiz machine I found the payout slot where my coins dropped to be filled with some kind of black goo.
Avoid."

Williamson's Tavern, Mansion House
Dilly Dally down the Alley.
This is a quite remarkable boozer, I could barely see by the time I left, a sign of a truly awesome establishment.
I lady played footsie at the bar with me, another good sign.
Adious.

The Southwark Tavern, London Bridge
Do not sing football songs on your birthday in this pub ..... "Jay Bothroyd" may have "hemorrhoids" but that is still no excuse. I also regret dropping my kaks, sorry I just couldn't help myself.
p.s. the Den-like caves downstairs are superb for excessive supping.

Ok, ok, I know I should be ordering an Award-winning golden bitter made from Premier brewing barley, but on the odd occasion when I have ordered a slightly camp alternative (admittedly a Martini and Pineapple) I encountered some unwanted attention in 2 forms:
1. An Irishman tried to kiss me
2. Some chaps decided to take offence and snarl
Never again shall I forget my Colour and Tasting notebook.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that the Thai is still working it's way through my torso + the Black Stuff (Arthur Guinness) tasted as sweet as ever.
God Bless the old Polish fellow with a slice of lemon in his pint.

Tonight I shall visit Tommy Flynn's, devour Thai food and several lagers before moshing at a Koko gig. I will be paying particular attention to the Gents toilet as Thai food has a tendency to go straight through me.

If you built a bar in your house this would pretty much resemble the Prince Fred, it's perfect !! Old china plates on the wall, interior wood is lovingly polished and most importantly no black goo in the quiz machine payout slot.
Most enjoyable.
Nice pint of Arthur too.

As I walked into the foyer and through to the bar area I felt like I was a VIP customer of a Bank, about to withdraw a large amount of money, or beverages in this case. The high ceilings are impressive, but that isn't normally a factor I cream myself about, howver the armchairs, patio area and great selection of beers and wines would most certainly induce a semi.
A few points of interest:
1. Manicured toilets with extra large sinks.
2. Colony of rather small men standing at the bar, doing small men things.
3. The classic old guy propped at the bar, supping and starring into oblivion.
For your own safety remain in this quality bar until closing as Ricky from the Kaiser Chiefs "Predicts A Riot" and I'm pretty sure that every other pub in Bromley will have a hand in this !
I love you Arthur Guinness.
