The Tournament, SW5

Large horseshoe shaped bar near Earls Court and West Brompton station. Outside seating adjacent to the main road. Couple of pool tables and a dartboard. Special £2 a pint offer on Carlsburg, Brains SA and Pride on hand pump. Decent enough pub but I wouldn’t rush back.

I was greeted by a very friendly barmaid before I even got to the bar and was served a well poured pint of Guinness, although it wasn't the best quality. A standard draught selection was available along with Staropramen as well as Pride, but the Greene King IPA was off – which isn't a bad thing. Sky Sports is shown and there is a plasma screen in the front bar and two in the back bar along with a couple of pool tables and a dartboard, but I didn't spot the third table or the table football advertised above. The music was a little loud, but I can't argue with a little Hendrix being overbearing on the ears! This would be the sort of place I would pop to on a lunch break from work for some pub sports, but I wouldn't go out of my way to drink here any other time.
