    Like walking into a time warp . The pub interior has been respectfully left alone and the focus is on quality beer from independent breweries. Their cask beers were in immaculate condition when I visited and the keg selection is varied . Nice to see a good selection of German beers as well. Friendly knowledgeable staff and welcoming locals. Worth the journey down from North London as well kept cask beer is getting harder and harder to find these days. I suspect it won't be too long before my next visit

    What Oli has done with this place is nothing short of remarkable. People talk about the decline of the pub but this is really a testament to how to do it properly, do it justice, while honouring and preserving aspects of the pub that came before it. The beer selection is unreal, ciders and large bottles in the fridges too, impeccable condition across the board. Clientele is a mixture of old locals, new fans, and a real community vibe - only ever came to this place once before, now I'm actively planning trips in/around London trying to visit this pub.

    A really great pub: a blessing to have reopened with such caring management who are clearly going the extra mile to do a top notch job. Find me a more consistently on point pint in London - I'm waiting - cellarmanship here is razor sharp and there's a great array of flavour to choose from. Clientele are a mix of locals and beer aficionados, there's room for a chinwag, a knees up and a quiet corner to read the paper within these walls. It feels a bit surreal amidst the new builds and empty towers surrounding it, but long may this corner pub remain a stalwart community boozer as the new-build apartments rise up around it.

    Best beer in Wimbledon. Traditional tile-clad rough-around-the-edges boozer serving craft beer and real ale from independent breweries. Music is provided by vinyl playing from the owner's collection.

    Possibly the smallest and cosiest pub in South London. Very pleased it has reopened. Interesting selections of beers, with interested bar staff, and an eclectic range of music being played in the background (anything from Bob Dylan to Somali disco music)

    We walked into this pub by chance and absolutely loved it. Their selection of beer and cider is impeccable, I was very impressed. There's not many places in the UK where you can drink Aylinger on tap, or have a bottle of Augustiner. Knowledgeable bar staff and it was reasonably priced too - Β£6 per pint.

    Fantastic, traditional, dog-friendly pub with loads of choice of good-value ales. Great mix of 'original' Traf customers and a new, discerning younger crowd. So pleased it has reopened!

    Great little pub with a good selection of Cask ales. It's like going back to the 70's.

  • 5/5 Robin W. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 125 reviews New
    A salt-of-the-earth reboot of a traditional neighbourhood melting pot. No Farrow & Ball paint or dining-only silverware area. Just a genuinely cordial corner of a rapidly fading Empire, preserved for your refuge and indulgence.

    Small and perfectly formed. Excellent range of well kept beers. A proper unpretentious pub. Friendly staff and regulars and live music. A little gem. SW London CAMRA Pub of the Year 2017 no less!

  • 4/5 Rob B. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a beer lovers pub. It's very small, sometimes has a bit of an odd smell. But it's a proper pub. None of this gastropub nonsense. If you like beer and trying different beers, this place is great. If you want somewhere for a meal with the kids, this place is not for you. It has its quirks, but I think it's great.
