A traditional pub that truly welcomes all
Nestled in the heart of an evolving community, this gem may first appear to be a traditional pub from the exterior facade, but thanks to a diverse crowd of patrons, a vibrant and eccentric experience can be expected on every visit. As a neighbourhood staple since 1936, the pub has seen London transform and has kept with the times by providing an inclusive space for all, including fluffy four-legged friends, such as Frankie and Jas, two of the locals! Rolling with the times, the team offers a constantly rotating selection of beers, wines, and cocktails to cater for all. Guests can be sure to enjoy the establishment all year round, boasting a large exterior seating area to enjoy a refreshing cocktail in the summer evenings, alongside a warm fireplace for enjoying a glass of red when the winter nights roll in. At this South London gem, you can also be entertained with events on all nights of the week including jazz nights, drag shows, live music, quizzes and DJ sets on weekends.
A vibrant hub for the LGBTQ+ community
What makes the pub truly special is its commitment to inclusivity, making everyone feel at home. Embracing a diverse community of patrons has been at the heart of the recent developments from new owners who, observing a lack of gay bars, pubs and queer-safe spaces in the area, decided to create this wonderfully inclusive establishment.
