Enjoyed the hapless karoke and some friendly faces for someone who is new in the area. The huge smoking area, under a railway arch, does smell a bit of damp and mould. By the taste of the badly kept bitter I think that it is where they have been storing it.

Very impressive; everything a good pub should be; a selection of quality ales instead of cak lager, decent but unobtrusive live music, spotlessly clean.

The Bridge House Tavern, Penge
Most of the landlords in Penge look like their pubs; dying on their feet.
The re-opened Bridge Tavern however is making an effort; the beer is served from pipes cleaned more than once every six months and the staff weren�t recruited from the set of a George Romero film.
Although a bit pricey they have some well kept guest ales.
However they are taking their youthful image a bit literally by letting parents bring their whiney little brats in with them. This is a pub not Teletubby land. Couldn�t these trendy mums get their Polish nannies to dump them down the Crystal Palace Dinosaur park?

landlord seems decent enough boke but his advertised ales have so never been on when I've been in the place. I think he's let them slip through lack of demand so i will be visiting more often to give him some encouragement to give the some decent bitters another go.
