Review of Chatterton Arms
28 May 08, 14:22
Good Pub! 
This is a great little pub!
The building is cute and the pub has lots of character! It’s a nice little watering hole…there is a bar and drink and atmosphere….what more could you want from a pub!
Oh and my childhood pet dog was named after this pub…so that fact in itself means it’s a good place to visit!

Review of O'Neill's
28 May 08, 14:18
Fun Fun! 
I have found that most O'Neils are pretty similar, wooden floors, sports on the TVs and DJs on the weekend.
I used to love this O’Neils and often came on a Friday or Saturday night. It was however too busy and with only a couple of loos for the whole massive pubs it got a bit annoying. Then the smoking ban came in and turns out the place stinks! So that was the end of that!
Last time I went it was exactly the same as it was years ago, and full of youg’uns…so think I will give it a miss!

Review of The Partridge

Good Ole Pub!
This used to be a bank and you can tell by the décor, it’s a gorgeous building with high ceilings and a nice outside patio area.
For me it’s the perfect place to stop for a drink or bite to eat when out shopping. They show the sports, so if that’s your thing and you want a quieter atmosphere then this is the pub for you.
It is very calm and the clientele is a lot older than other pubs in Bromley.

Review of George Panphilon The Public House

It used to be the place to go... 
......then it shut down!
May it rest in peace!
It was the place to go a good few years ago, always busy, good music and if like me you were at 6 form (at the time) in the area no doubt you would see everyone you knew!
If you didn't go then you missed out on something special!

Review of The Greyhound

Changable 
This pub has changed its name more times than people change their socks. It’s an airy pub with a nice outside area for summer drinks or lunches, the food is quite nice. You can get served at the bar relatively quickly…which is always a bonus! I stopped going in the evenings a while ago as the girls in there were very young and boys chavy. They did have karaoke, I don’t know if they do anymore. It wouldn’t be my choice for a night out.

Pub
I’m not that keen on this pub, it’s in an inconvenient location and full of youngsters…it makes me feel old! I have only been a couple of times, so it may have changed, but last time I went I liked the building, service was good and drinks average price. It was just a bit young for me (and I’m not even that old!)

Beer
This is a typical pub pub in the traditional sense. It’s a good pub with a nice atmosphere and the garden is lovely in the summer. They do food; although I haven’t eaten there it looks ok.

Review of The Beach

Cool Clubbin'
Love this little beach front club. It’s in a great location, right under the arches on Brighton beach front. By day it’s nice to sit outside in the sun and have a drink. By night it’s a great little club which hosts a variety of club nights. There are some cheap student nights in the week and often known DJs perform here. Excellent location and a good night out!

Review of Walkabout Inn
23 Apr 08, 13:59
Silly Fun!
This Walkabout is lots of fun. I went on Halloween and it was packed full of people in fancy dress…quite hilarious! The atmosphere is chilled out and fun and there aren’t any trouble makers…which is good! The music is good and you will have a fun night here!

Review of Walkabout Inn

Very Croydon
Typical Walkabout. The venue is the same as all Walkabouts I have been too…lots of wooden floors. The drinks are reasonable and the bar service is fairly speedy considering how busy it gets. The music is good; there are two rooms which makes for a fun night out. It is chavy, but you can still have a good night out.

Review of The Tree House
23 Apr 08, 13:56
chilled
Have been here a few times for drinks, although there is also a restaurant which is apparently very good. The bar can be busy or empty, its pot luck…which is annoying! The décor is nice, but it’s a bit cold (I froze in a little top and jeans and ended up wearing my coat all night!) drinks are normal prices and the music is good. It’s ok, but nothing amazing.

Review of George Inn
22 Apr 08, 14:12
A pub pub
Well what can I say, it’s an old mans pub. The drink and food is reasonably priced and the service is good. The atmosphere is relaxed and it is much much older than all other pubs in Becks. There is a garden which is lovely in summer especially for an early evening/lunchtime. I do like this pub as it is exactly what it should be…a pub pub!

Review of Patrick's
22 Apr 08, 14:10
Rammo
Who could not love Patrick’s? It is a typical Irish bar, full of drunken silliness! It is good for watching sport, is busy in the week… so if you are out on a Monday night and looking for somewhere to go then go to Patrick’s! I have been many times on the weekend and had a good time. If you don’t like packed bars then don’t come here as it can get rammed. Good fun though!

Review of The Porterhouse

Packed Pub
Love this place, its got loads of character and lots of interesting drinks. The only thing I don’t like is how packed it gets…its really popular and gets totally rammed. I have been here lots of times for after work drinks and reserved an area for my birthday a couple of times, which works really well and everyone loves it. They often have live bands that are always good. Just don’t get lost as its all on different levels, its confusing!

Review of The Harp

Sausage anyone?
Excellent little pub, I have only been here at lunchtime but it is always packed. It’s lovely in summer when you can stand outside and watch the world go by. It’s a tiny place and you may be put off as its really old small and packed. The service is good and the biggest attraction is the sausages! They service a sausage and pint/soft drink for £5 (I think), but not just any sausage, they are interesting mixes of high quality, such as wild bore, chorizo, lamb and mint…they change regularly. If you are in the area, you MUST give it a try!

Review of The Chandos
16 Apr 08, 17:35
Cheap pint anyone?
What a great pub…who could not like The Chandos, the drinks are cheap, the food is good and reasonably priced. If you ever go, make sure you sit upstairs…it’s like a whole new world up there…really comfortable, lots of space and really good service. We often pop in on a Friday lunch and it’s usually busy, but not too busy…having checked out most places in the area, this pub is at the top of the list!

Lloyds
This is now a Lloyds...which means its exactly the same but with music!
I can’t stand this place, it feels like standing in the sixth form common room…which when you are over the age of 18 is not a good thing. The cheap drinks and vastly spacious pub attracts large numbers of young people…how most of them are old enough to drink I don’t know! I feel ancient in there and I’m still in my twenties. The bar service is incredibly slow. By day, it there is a mixture of old random men who do nothing but spend their days drinking and people popping in for lunch. It’s ok as it’s cheap but that’s about the only benefit!

Review of Slug & Lettuce
16 Apr 08, 17:32
OKish
The best thing about this bar is its right next to the station, so if you want to meet in a bar before going out in London then this is the best place to meet (unless you are young larey and prefer Lloyds opposite). It needs redecorating, it is a little cold and doesn’t have much of an atmosphere, I wouldn’t spend an evening here but is ok to pass through.

Review of Fox Inn & Restaurant
16 Apr 08, 08:59
Fantastic country pub
What a lovely village pub! This is a great place to go for a drink or a bite to eat and is stunning in summer where you can take your drink outside to the lovely garden or opposite onto the Common. It is cosy in winter with little areas to sit by the open fire or there is also a restaurant that serves good quality food. What a lovely pub, I highly recommend checking it out!

Review of The Beacon

OK pub
This little pub is tucked away amongst houses; you would never know it was there unless you live in the area. There is a garden at the back which is nice in summer and a little sun trap. The pub itself is only ok. The service is good and there is a small local following. There tend to be a lot of teens that hang around…why I don’t know as it is clearly an ‘old mans’ pub. This gives it a weird mix of people! There are quite a few nice pubs in the area and this one would not be top of the list to visit.

Great Pub
What a lovely village pub! This is a great place to go for a drink or a bite to eat and is stunning in summer where you can take your drink outside to the lovely garden or opposite onto the Common. It is very popular and the garden at the back is child friendly. There is also a spot to tie your horse up should you have ridden there! What a lovely pub, I highly recommend checking it out!

It serves drinks...just
This could be a great pub...its not! It is close to servel places to work, which is why it is packed on a friday night. The service is slow the drinks are expensive and the food is poor. The decor is dull and the loos are horrid...mens urine wiffs up the stairs... Stinky!

Review of O'Neill's Irish Bar
09 Apr 08, 12:20
Amazing O'Neills!
This is a great pub, its nice to visit in the day and is very chilled out with outside seating. By night it is lively, there are people of all ages so no one (over the age of 50 ish) would feel out of place. They often have Kareoke/DJs/Bands/big screens for sports. It is open late and does get busy so you could end up queuing to get in on a friday/saturday night. Endless silly drunken nights have been spent here!

Review of The Tom Foolery

Nice Pub
We love this pub, it is amoung my fav in the area to chill out with mates at the weekend or watch sport. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the age group is slighly older/mixed. The food is nice, but quite expensive for what it is. It is clean and the loos are great as there is hand lotion and body sprays in the ladies!

Review of Walkabout
09 Apr 08, 12:11
Rather young! 
By Day:
It is good for watching sport or having a quick lunchtime drink. the food is typical walkabout.
By Night: If you are 15 and almost look 18 this is the place to be! It is full of school kids and anyone over the age of 25 will feel ancient! The music is good, if you are in a group of friends you can have a good night. It is just really really young!
