Sixes, Bermondsey, SE1

Visited on 25/02/2020 as Tanner & Co just as pandemic clouds were gathering in the UK. Now Sixes Social Cricket London Bridge. Another addition to this growing chain of cricket based activity bars. This one felt more like a standard sports bar with the activity stuff hidden out the back. There is another big screen on the wall at the back of the front part of the venue. The venue was heaving on my visit to tick off with the change of name, with the Champions League being shown on a big pull down screen. The bar is along the left wall as you enter and there is plenty of different types of seating. Not surprisingly quite a few in here looked like they were here won a work-away day! It is pretty standard keg stuff, two sets of 6 taps, with each set offering the same drinking choices. I had a pint of the Jute Session IPA from Salt, but there was also their own branded pale ale, Guinness, Aspall cyder and Madri and Pravha for lager lovers. Whilst I am a cricket fan, this isn’t my type of sports bar. Too much manic energy for my liking for the time of day. I definitely wasn’t bowled over by it.

Bright modern bar, restaurant and 'event space' housed in a former warehouse. Limited amount of standing room plus a few stools around the counter, but most of the floor area is set aside for those eating (and separated from the hoi-polloi by screening). Also has an open-air seating / dining area out in the side alleyway. No real ale, and only a very restricted choice of perhaps three different offerings from the various keg taps (including an undistinguished, if very pricy, 'house' beer).
