Greenwood, Victoria, SW1

The Greenwood is a large sports bar that was heaving during a recent Saturday evening visit that coincided with a big boxing match. Almost every inch of wall space has some sort of television screen mounted to it. The island bar supports premium keg, a pint of Heineken was £6.10. At the rear of the pub is a photobooth, which says it all really.

A large modern sports bar, with a huge central island counter, surmounted by copper lager tanks. Areas round the sides are tabled, and are divided up into sections which can be reserved, each holding its own sports TV. A further sports lounge is signed upstairs. A couple of craft beers are available on tap but most are fairly mainstream and there is no cask ale, of course.

As described, a somewhat soulless modern bar with lots of glitter but no substance. No welcome from the staff. Also no real ale, and nothing which tempts me to come back.
