Pizza Lounge, Rotherhithe, SE16

This pub has now re-opened as The Compass. It’s now furnished with sofas and chunky furniture and looks very clean and tidy, but not like the Three Compasses it once was, but considerably better than the short-lived Deal Porter that it was until recently. Outside it’s now painted a dull combination of black and battleship grey, and inside much of the woodwork and walls are painted that dull grey/green colour we see so often in madeover pubs (it probably has a name but I don’t know what it is). A chalkboard outside says that it opens daily at 5.30 PM, but I looked through the window and saw three handpumps on the bar – for Pedigree, Hobgoblin and Ringwood Best Bitter. Now that is a mega improvement on its brief incarnation as The Deal Porter, when it did not do any real ale. Another small sign outside declares its dress code – no sportswear, site clothes, or headwear. A bit upmarket it would seem.

Large one-roomed "Fizz" pub with kids jumping all over the place. attached to and part of the pub ( would have been the whole pub at one time) was an Indian Restaurant. definately no real ales to be seen here the barmaid didn't even know what i was talking about she had to ask a customer, lucky for us he told us there was pub further down the road(it turned out to be a very nice Fuller's)
