Dark Star - Hylder Blonde4.20Good
London Beer Factory - Beyond the Pale4.20GoodIn good nick but yet another boring straw coloured citrus "beer"
Volden - Session (or Session Ale)3.80Not Tried
Two Tribes (formerly King Beer) - Jago IPA (UnBarred series)5.00Not TriedReally can't track down this crew, they are very secretive as to provenance so I won't touch them with a barge pole or my tongue. I suspect a link to King of Horsham and it may, effectively, be them under a brand re-naming.

The pub is found in Lewisham, Greater London, SE13 6NR.

Formerly The Coach & Horses and recently re-opened as part of the "Antic Collective". A large pub in Lewisham High Street, just south of the Ladywell baths complex and H.E. Olby's Plumbing Centre. One very large bar area with lots of floor space. One feature of the newly re-opened house is an array of 5 handpumps and the introduction of a gamut of guest beers from London and more widespread and the sale of a hand pumped cider. A welcome addition to the Lewisham real ale scene. Has a bar billiards table in use and a table football table. Regular live bands play and a small dancing area is provided. Antic closed the pub on 30th October 2016 in "preparation" for its opening of a currently closed pub in the Lewisham market area.

We have visited this pub 183 times, seen 307 different beers and tried 184 of them.
