Royal Albert, New Cross

The Albert seems to go from strength to strength. Haven't been in for a few months but went down last week for a bite to eat and a few beers. Bar staff were friendly, the music was great (Mariachi El Bronx!), a decent pint of Guinness and the food, while a bit pricy, was really good. Great to finally have a few decent watering holes in the area (Telegraph and Amersham included), but this has to be near the top of the pile.

The Rosemary Branch, New Cross

It looks as if the Rosemary Branch will be getting a new landlord!

The To Let sign is finally down, so we can only hope that the new tenant will tidy the place up, sort the beer out, put a stop to the undesirable elements conducting, ahem, 'business' from the premises, and ensure that the road isn't shut down again following yet another mass brawl.

If the place goes back down the karaoke, budget booze, 80s disco route I'm sure it'll be turned into flats in 6 months time. It's never worked, so how about a nice pub, with proper food and decent ale for a change?

The place has been practically empty ever since the local police pulled a four hour shift down there in mid October last year, so this is the perfect time to make some radical changes to the place. Fingers crossed!
