Pacific Tavern, Surrey Quays, SE16

An odd sort of place, not a traditional pub at all, despite the name. It has been well described by the previous reviewer, with the only addition to the "craft" offerings that I could see being Deya Steady Rolling Man. Service was dreadfully slow and when I went back to ask for the WiFi code, everyone had vanished. My half of the Lost & Grounded Keller Pils 4.8% was a stonking £4. It was better than the Tiny Rebel IPA at the previous pub, but only just. I sat out in the back yard, which is mostly covered except for the bits that you'll find out about if you're ever here while it's raining. The music was a bit like the beer: tolerable for about five minutes, but then you make a note never to do it again.

Visited 05/07/25. Visited previously on 05/03/24. No cask. Keg offering of Lost & Grounded Keller Pils & Wanna Go to the Sun, Henry Weston's Vintage cider, an own branded Brewers Barrel (whatever that is), Rafiki Session IPA and Rodeo Pale Ale both from Villages, Hard Ace lager from Lost in Town, the Singlefin lager from Harbour, Jubel Peach lager and Lucky Saint. This is a bare boarded venue apart from a tiled section over on the extreme right-hand end with the walls above lower bare boarding painted a deep green colour. The bar counter is immediately to the right of the entrance and is wooden fronted with tall stools along its length. Regular tables and chairs on the right-hand side in front of and to the right of the bar counter laid for diners on my visit. The is a corner fitted wooden banquette in the right-hand corner that didn't look too comfortable to sit on. To the left of the entrance was an area with chunky wooden benches. A TV was tuned into the tennis sans commentary, the noise instead provided by an overloud non-descript soundtrack. A dartboard languished on the left-hand wall to the side of the TV. There is a large outside seating area at the back, paved and on two distinct levels with picnic benches and an outdoor kitchen serving up pizzas to a family and younger crowd. All pretty average really.
