The Deptford Arms was a pub on Deptford High Street. It [http://crossfields.blogspot.com/2010/05/deptford-finally-lays-down-its-arms.html closed] in May 2010. It appears that it is unlikely to be reopening as a pub — see [http://deptforddame.blogspot.com/2010/03/deptford-armspaddy-power.html Deptford Dame post], [http://crossfields.blogspot.com/2010/04/another-bookies-on-high-street.html Crosswhatfields post 1], [http://crossfields.blogspot.com/2010/04/paddy-power-refused-planning-permission.html Crosswhatfields post 2]. The information below is retained for people who want to know what it used to be like. <div class="old_info"> A very nice boozer in [[Locale Deptford|Deptford]] with lots going on. House red wine is £2.70 for a large glass. Ciders on offer are Scrumpy (£3/pint) and Strongbow (£2.80) on draught, Vintage (75cl, £6.50) and Fruit (75cl, £6). There is occasionally Pride in bottles, but not always. They also offer shots for £2.50: Sambuca, B-52, Tequila Slammer, Rum & Lime and something called Squashed Frog. Monday night is pub quiz for £1. There are four rounds including an audiovisual round (though this wasn't working when we went on 11th Feb). The prize is £10 and a bottle of wine, or gamble for the jackpot. It seems to attract a healthy mix of locals and students. They advertise live music on Friday (hiphop/indie/punk), Saturday (rock/indie) and Sunday is something called Kelvstock (jazz/blues/funk/roots). Weekday events are listed as: * Tuesday: films & spoken word / poetry night; * Wednesday: open mic with Griff, also stew night (costs £2.50); * Thursday: [http://www.catapultclub.co.uk/ Catapult Club]. They also offer an 'art space' and artists who want to exhibit should ask for more details behind the bar. A quiz machine and Mario Kart are available for gaming - I'm not sure if the Mario Kart is free or not. [[Bec]] visited again on a Saturday in February 2007, where the vibe was definitely more towards the local and market traders from Deptford High Street market, and I have to admit I was a bit intimidated by the Career Boozers, but after nervous conversation I sat myself on a comfy sofa, listend to Dolly Parton from the old-timey jukebox and sipped my wine. There is a pool table in the back, and a few pictures - I'm not sure if this is the 'art space' available. I am hoping to go to each weekday event and update on what it was like.
