The Deptford Arms, Deptford, SE8

A bit of a mixed up mess to look at - part grunge, part bohemian, part student bar, part art gallery. No Ales, which is the general scenario with most of the pubs in Deptford. The cheap £2 a pint happy hour didn't seem to be attracting too many people through the doors (although Glenn Tilbrook did walk in as we were leaving). We were greeted as we walked in by Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday clashing violently with some clubby rubbish at the opposite end of the pub and when you spot that the TV has an indoor aerial you just know that things aren't going to be very good. The far end opens up to stage area albeit there were sofas (with no tables) taking up most of the space. Very tatty and basic, it probably has a certain unusual charm and eccentricity to some but there is little to tempt me back (unless Glenn brings his guitar with him next time).
