Buster Mantis, SE8

David Walton left this review about Buster Mantis

Visited 05/03/26. Visited previously 10/08/22.

No cask. Three draught offerings of Red Stripe, Villages Rafiki and the Wanna Go to the Sun pale ale from L&G.

Glass fronted Caribbean bar and restaurant with a polished concrete floor and the bar counter at the rear of this arch based venue. Seating is via a large communal bench down the middle with tall stools and then regular tables down the right-hand side served by regular chairs and a wall mounted bench. There is a drinking ledge down the left-hand wall served by tall stools. The right-hand side of the venue is their restaurant and there is a room upstairs maybe a private function venue. There is a small amount of bench seating out the front. No screens, great subdued lighting, and a rip-roaring reggae soundtrack. Modest score based on beer offering but would highly recommend this one if in the area on a crawl (although note only open evening Thurs-Fri and at the weekend).
