| Despite the name this isn't really a Firkin pub any more, but a perfectly good drinking spot for the area (the southern end of [[Locale Lewisham|Lewisham]] High Street, closer to [[Ladywell Station]]), with lots of space, and a large beer garden out back. |
This isn't really a Firkin pub any more, but a perfectly pleasant drinking spot for the area, with lots of space, and a large beer garden out back (which was often closed, but I can only assume is more reliably open these days). |

Decor has improved greatly over the years and as of late-2010 sports a variety of largely monochrome decorations, beaded curtains and a few hanging tea pots (to advertise that they have tea available, it would seem, although one doubts this is a big seller). There's a slightly raised stage area at the back (for live music, but at other times it has tables set up on and around it) as well as a prominent DJ booth to the side. |
It attracts a fairly mixed crowd, with plenty of students (presumably from Goldsmiths College) and regulars as well. Does a quiz night on Wednesday, live bands on Tuesday, and other assorted events. |

It attracts a largely student crowd (presumably from Goldsmith's College). There's a quiz night on Mondays (which in [[Ewan]]'s experience is often well-attended, thanks to the large jackpot prizes), live bands on Tuesday (and plenty of other nights of the week as well), and other assorted events. There's a big screen for sporting events, though on the last visit they were showing the football without sound, while a band did their sound check. There's also a pool table, which gets a lot of use. |
It's main selling point is that it's a lot cheaper than central London for drinking. Spirits are particularly competitively priced, but stay away from the house wine. After having had a row of ale pumps for many years without any ale, they have recently added Broadside and Bombardier. With any luck they'll add more in future. The range of lagers is standard, nothing special. |

Its main selling point is that it's a lot cheaper than central London for drinking. Spirits are particularly competitively priced (with drinks specials), and although house wine is not spectacular, it doesn't cost a lot more to get something decent (their most expensive bottle is around £10). After having had a row of six ale pumps for many years without any ale, in 2007 they added Adnam's Broadside and Wells Bombardier (with a guest ale occasionally as well), and which in 2010 offered Fuller's London Pride and Adnam's Broadside as regulars (with Meantime listed on a chalk board, but not on the pumps -- there are bottled Meantime beers available however, for around £3.50). The range of lagers is standard, nothing special, but again there are drinks offers available during the week. |
