Single storey pub with real ale near Southwark tube station. It has windows at the front which fold open so the pub spreads onto the tables outside.
secretlondon visited on a Tuesday evening in June 2017. Although it has a number of hand pumps, many of them were off. They advertised three Orchard Pig real ciders, including one that was ginger and chili. My pint of lime and soda cost £2. There was quiet disco music playing.
The internet seems to describe this as either a sports bar or more arty. I think the sports bar incarnation has passed, but I'm not sure if it's still arts based.
It usually does food, but there wasn't any on our visit.
Accessibility: Toilets are on the ground floor. One is very small — so small that I struggled to get in. The other one is bigger — it doesn't have handrails, but is potentially more accessible depending on what your needs are. One issue is that the ladies' and gents' are only differentiated by a rough painting on the door. I couldn't work out what the symbol on one of them was, but the other had a face with styled hair so I presumed that was the ladies'.
