A pretty standard pub handily just outside the train station. One single room with a stage area at the far end for live music, the pub also holds Karaoke and DJ nights. A couple of handpumps on the bar, on my visit was a turned Doom Bar clip leaving T.T Landlord the choice, served in average condition. Not a pub I'd choose to visit again but if waiting for a train is totally acceptable.

Right by Sidcup station on the ground floor of a modern building,this bar has a low ceiling ,rectangular with a small stage at the far end which seems to be it's raison d'etre as a live music venue some evenings,open mic Mondays.There are high tables in the middle,more traditional tables elsewhere but a dark atomosphere not helped by lots of Halloween tat everywhere.Food seems available from a short menu but possibly after 6pm.There is a patio outside right by a busy road and station carpark.
Needless to say no real ale and a half of Neck Oil set me back £3.05 which seemed usury.
The lack of atmosphere was only broken when the barman got the juke box working .It's an awful pub unless you like live music.

Quiet venue on my visit with just some old timers chatting to the lady behind the bar and the manager / owner who was sitting at one of the tables doing some pub admin. The venue is a long rectangular pub, nice and shady and a welcome respite from the heat outside today. The bar is on the left-hand wall towards the middle to back as you enter via a small reception-like structure in the front right-hand corner. Some old style wooden bifold type doors run along the right-hand side with some church style benches in front thereof with a small patio outside facing the station entrance. There is also a small patio outside on the main road next to the M&S. Seating in rest of pub consists of half a dozen lime green leather armchairs around a large table in the left hand corner and then tall tables and chairs along the middle of the boarded floor. There is a stage at the back of the pub (with an upright piano against the back wall) and there was a board showing the upcoming live music.
Cask Doom & Bexley's Own Beer from Bexley Brewery again didn't spot initially. The latter was absolutely fine. Lots of keg options with lagers (Moretti, K1664, Madri, Cruz), Guinness, Neck Oil & Inch’s cider
Thought this was a perfectly pleasant pub and I wouldn't hesitate to pop in again when in Sidcup. Obviously visited at different times compared to some much earlier revies but the area around the pub seems to have been developed quite a bit over the last half dozen years or so.
