This pub has gone through many changes. When I first lived in New Cross it was a proper old man pub, complete with cranky Irish dudes watching the racing and scowling at ladies who dared to order pints. Then it went a bit student-y, but fairly standard, and now it's been taken over by the Lock Tavern people and is still student-y, but mostly relaxed, friendly and an awesome local.
They've gutted the insides and there are comfy sofas everywhere. Coffee and tea are only 50p so I can see myself relaxing with a Saturday newspaper and getting my caffiene fix cheaply. The beer isn't hugely varied or cheap (£3.00 for lager) but it's not stupidly expensive, and there are some real ales.
Food looks interesting - will test this at the upcoming East London Line pub crawl. I am particularly interested in the mug of soup with unlimited bread.
Other fun stuff: bar billiards, up and coming bands / DJs in the Catapult behind the pub, and events like Bingo Bring & Share.
The only thing I can complain about (because I can always complain about something) is that the bar staff are far too young. Seriously, they look about twelve. Disturbing.
