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].
A very nice boozer with lots going on. Live music on Friday and Saturday with no cover charge. Monday night is pub quiz for £1, and during the week there are other things going on such as open mic nights. There is also an artspace which I haven't checked out yet.

The information below is retained for people who want to know what it used to be like.
There's a beer garden, again not checked out yet, and they serve stew on Wednesdays. I really need to go back to get a picture and make a note of the nights they do stuff. So this entry is pretty sparse but if I upload then I'll get my arse in gear and do a proper entry!

in [[Locale Deptford|Deptford]] with lots going on.
One thing I do remember thinking I should note is that they have Pear Cider. They also have Pride in bottles.
== Line 7 ==
House red wine is &pound;2.70 for a large glass. Ciders on offer are Scrumpy (&pound;3/pint) and Strongbow (&pound;2.80) on draught, Vintage (75cl, &pound;6.50) and Fruit (75cl, &pound;6). There is occasionally Pride in bottles, but not always. They also offer shots for &pound;2.50: Sambuca, B-52, Tequila Slammer, Rum & Lime and something called Squashed Frog.

Monday night is pub quiz for &pound;1. There are four rounds including an audiovisual round (though this wasn't working when we went on 11th Feb). The prize is &pound;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 &pound;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.
