Drinking in Charlton?

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

We walked up the hill after the game, last season, and had a quick pint in the very 'home' Bugle Horn pub, near Charlton House. Ever so funny seeing the locals crying into their beer. Hopped onto a 53 after, and was home in ten minutes

Can't wait for this one

Come and join us in Woolwich!

We are drinking around Victoria, then a quick train journey to north Greenwich

 

[Billy the Fish]

Will be round Greenwich with my Charlton mates.

Via Green Park, I take it, then a bus to the ground? Nuts to that on a full bladder!

Anybody been to Charlton Liberal Club on matchday ?

Looks like a decent option on the Football Ground Guide, but prefer opinions from those with experience.

:albion1:

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Dont know whether it is still there, but the Lord Bellerby near the new den might make for an interesting pre-match bevvy!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I will be using The Anchor & Hope pub which is on the river bank, my daughter lives just 100 yards from it whilst at uni. 10 min walk to the ground and easy parking!

Used it last year and not bad.

Pay a small entrance fee and I seem to remeber the beer was quite cheap but nothing special in terms of choice. Large bar and quick service but not much atmosphere.

V close to the ground and a decent kebab/chippy

Palace v Millwall and Charlton v Brighton - I can see carnage.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

there is a pub near the Cutty Sark that always did a good pint...fullers I think

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

OK perhaps Greenwich then

Good call. Im coming in from Southend so will be in that area myself.

CHARLTON is shite for pubs. THE ANTIGALLICAN opposite the station is a cavernous away fans pub, but always rammed and takes ages to get served, it's a bit of a chavvy West Street kinda place if you like that sort of thing. THE ROYAL OAK is the main 'home' pub as the closest to the ground, but it's pants and often closed for several months at a time for 'refurbishment' (ie trying to find another mug landlord to take it over). THE LIBERAL CLUB is a school hall, costs a couple of quid on the door, but the beer's a bit cheaper than elsewhere. Never been in THE CONSERVATIVE CLUB, but I assume it's full of twats. THE BUGLE HORN & SWAN in Charlton village are nothing special, often home tickets only, and up a stupid bloody hill. THE ROSE OF DENMARK halfway between Westcombe Park and Charlton stations ain't too bad, probably the friendliest mixed pub, although it usually only lets in away fans before the game not after. Probably the closest actually proper nice pub to the ground is THE ANCHOR & HOPE on the river, about five mins walk North of Charlton train station.

Better bets are further afield. THE PILOT INN, a Fullers pub five mins walk (through a nice park with a fountain) South of North Greenwich tube, has a country pub feel, does good food, has Sky, nice multi-level beer garden, and you can always get a seat. It's a ten minute bus ride to the ground through a horrible swathe of B&Qs and Homebases though.

Blackheath has a few nice pubs, and GREENWICH has gabillions. The ones in Greenwich village and riverfront are touristy and wallet-raping in price. The better bet is the three pubs located in the back streets South of Greenwich station, all of which have nice beer gardens. These are THE ASHBURNHAM ARMS (Shepheard Neame) which has the biggest garden, THE RICHARD 1ST (Youngs) which is a traditional back street boozer, and adjacent to it, the trendy GREENWICH UNION (Meantime) which has all of the Meantime brewery's fancy lagers and porters, plus Dark Star Hophead and Harveys Best on handpump.

Or you could hang around London Bridge smelling Millwall fans' farts.

Good call re: Pilot Inn. Love that pub. And the terraces next door. It's a five minute walk from North Greenwich Station, but you can get the 472 and 161 buses to near the ground from there if you can't be arsed with the walk. Good food in there, too, last time I was there

Does the 486 not go that way too?

the gipsy moth? i was landlord of that place for 3 years

 

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

Might take you up on that. Where will you be?

Not definite yet where and when, but will most probably start in the Dial Arch int eh Royal Arsenal, because it is closest to where I live.

Could and probably should be a good pub, but the service is always appaling, it's full of the worst kind of student, tourists and Greenwich p0nces these days.
