Admiral Hardy, Greenwich, SE10

They had on Adnam's Lighthouse, the Nelson Brewery pair of Friggin' in the Riggin' and Admiral IPA (£2.40 a half). Main courses are around the £9 - £10 mark, with the pie of the day rocking up at £9.95, and the burger at £9. They seem to have gone to a bit of effort to make this pub a bit different to others in Greenwich. The menu promised "good food and great music", and although the decor was seriously music themed - photos and posters of pop acts all over the place - I didn't see any adverts for live music. There was some pop music playing, overly loudly in my opinion, but I don't count that as great music. However, when Led Zeppelin's classic Stairway to Heaven came on that improved the sound considerably. The main bar area is mainly furnished with settles, normal tables and chairs, and with only a couple of tall tables, but accompanied by tall armchairs, which is a new one on me. There's a smallish room at the back to the left of the servery, which looks a bit cocktail lounge-like to me. The feature dominating the main room is a pair of larged pull down TV screens, showing highlights of Major League Soccer matches when I was in. I liked this pub a bit more than I though I would when I first walked in. But the beer prices are over the top of course, but I suppose that's a common feature of a tourist area like Greenwich.

Located next to Greenwich market a nice antidote to the tourist trap pubs in the area. Interior split in 2 with the bar area at the front a lounge area on an upper level at the rear. Quite a dark interior with numerous music posters,albums and singles on display. Toilet walls particularly brightly decorated and "quirky urinals". 3 real ales and food served.

Always pop in never alter,s had a pint of Adnam,s Light house bit warm but drinkable wont put me off calling back

The bar of the Admiral Hardy faces the entrance and an open plan seating area. The walls are adorned with various pieces of modern art and various photographs that give a student feel. To the left of the bar are some steps that lead to a rear room with leather banquette seating and a projector screen. There are two more projector screens in the bar area and all three were showing French Open tennis via Sky Sports during my Wednesday afternoon visit last week. The tennis was muted in favour of some background music courtesy of the Beatles. There were only two other people in and nobody was eating, but menus upon each table advertise pub grub. The mains are priced around £9. The bar is stocked with premium and standard draught products and the three hand pumps were drawing Sharp’s Doom Bar alongside Adnam’s Gun Hill and Lighthouse. This isn’t a destination pub, but I would have no problem popping back in if passing.
