No cask. Keg offering of BT Neck Oil and Satellite, Murphy's Irish Stout, Amstel, Moretti & Heineken.

Community space that needs some convincing you are in the right place from the street appearance! So, through the gate by the venue sign, left down the steps and press the buzzer for entry. Inside the bar area has original painted concrete flooring, the bar counter immediately on the left-hand side through the entrance with some tall stool seating at the bar counter. There is a sofa and facing armchairs in front of the bar counter by the DJ station on the wall rear wall facing the bar counter. Plenty of seating over on the right-hand side of the space with regular tables and chairs plus some wooden banquettes around the three sides. Projection on the left-hand wall of the DJ playing in the sound studio that is one of the rooms beyond the front bar space. The Snake Pit, which is a small events space, transported from the Bird's Nest also in Deptford has been reassembled here and there is a small outside space accessed from the inside of the venue along with a small room selling vinyl records. This is a valuable community space in Deptford, and it is good to see it has survived losing its previous space in Deptford Yard. Only open Wed-Sat.
