The Ship, Croydon

The Ship is a lovely historic pub right in the middle of Croydon. It serves good Marstons ales as well as an enormous range of spirits and flavoured shots. The gorgeous bar staff are incredibly friendly and always cheerful. The Ship doesn't open until 5pm and in the week it's a chilled place to sit and have a chat with a bit of background music (and log fires in the winter), but on Friday and Saturday nights the Ship ROCKS! Various local rock DJs play the best in a wide variety of rock, metal and alternative music until 2am and the pub takes on a completely different atmosphere. A great gathering place for local metalheads or anyone who appreciates a good tattoo! Air con is a new feature. There's seldom any trouble in this pub, there's a solid core of friendly regulars who are welcoming to anyone just passing through or looking to make the pub a regular watering hole. If you need to hire a function room, there's one upstairs - speak to the Manager.
