The Dog, Croydon

David Walton left this review about The Dog

Visited 12/01/26. Visited previously as Dog & Bull on 24/10/22.

Cask was TT LL, Old Rosie cider and Doom Bar. Keg was the Zest a citrus lager, Mangolicious pale ale, Sonar hazy session IPA & Feeder juicy IPA all from Laine, Inch's cider, Moretti, Brixton Atlantic APA, Reliance Pale Ale & Coldharbour lager, berries & cherries Old Mount cider, Heineken AF, Cruz, Guinness, and Redchurch lager.

This is obviously, from the beer offering, a Laine establishment. Leaded front windows and entrances on either side of the frontage. The bar counter is an island affair in a bare boarded area at the front of the venue with some tall stool seating discretely placed around its perimeter. There are a few tall tables with tall stools in the front window and down the right-hand side and a ledge for vertical drinking on the left-hand wall. Interesting artwork on the walls and a small TV in the front right-hand corner tuned into replays of the weekend American footy action. There is a small room behind the bar with a larger TV on the rear wall and a nice but unused fire grate on the right-hand wall, with a small number of tables and chairs looking out onto the rear beer garden. To the right of the bar counter is a small room with tables and chairs laid for diners. The is a darts and karaoke area upstairs. The beer garden is very large, initially covered, with an outside bar counter, closed on my visit, picnic benches and some booth tables. In the uncovered area beyond there are some individual hut-like structures containing tables and chairs.
