Avast ye hearties arrrr!

Whoever thought that putting a pub on a boat wants knighting!

Thanks to the rocking motion of this place you can have a couple of pints less of your usual tipple and feel just as drunk.

Dust down your sea legs and jump onboard!

Review of Sugar Reef

Sugar Reef - Not So Sweet

This is a typical central Soho basement bar with next to no distinguishing features to help one discern it from other bars of this type.

Sure it would function just fine for leaving-do drinks or similar as its got plenty of big booth style tables that you can reserve in advance.

Still, if you're after a central boozy basement bar then all of these others do a slightly better job of it:

Review of Cross Cars

Tooting cars will take you there

Cost me £30 to go from Tooting to Blackheath the other day with these guys, and we didn't get lost once!

Driver wasn't the most vocal or entertaining of chaps but I was probably too drunk to be much conversation anyway.

Review of Greenwich Park Bar & Grill

Touristy Greenwich Pub Opposite the Park

The Greenwich Park Bar and Grill is a nothing-to-write-home about kinda wannabe gastro pub right opposite the main Greenwich Park main gates.

It's got a fairly sizeable beer garden out back and in summer puts out tables on the street outside.

There's nothing bad about it per se, but if I was after a beer or bite to eat I'd chose one of the pubs slightly off the main beaten tourist track as this place doesn't have too much of a soul and can get very busy (especially during the day at weekends).

If you're spending the day in the park and prefer a more spit-and-sawdust style boozer then withing 10 minutes from the main gate the following pubs all offer better booze, food and atmosphere:

Review of Pavilion Tea House

Greenwich Park Cafe

The Pavillion Tea House can be found right in the centre of Greenwich Park, and as you may imagine, with such a great location on sunny weekends it can get pretty packed full of tourists and mewling kids pestering the parents for a second helping of chocolate brownies.

It's a "grab a tray and pay at the counter" kind of cafe rather than table service but don't let that put you off too much as the food that they serve isn't half bad (if a wee bit pricey).

The portabello mushrooms on toast that I for breakfast there the other day was surprisingly good though sadly the same couldn't be said for the coffee.

Finally, if it's a nice day, and the squirrels aren't occupying all the chairs, you can eat out in the large garden area that they have at the rear of the pavillion.

Other than a couple of decent dishes on the mene it's all pretty average stuff, hence 3/5 for me.
