Evening until midnight close. DJ playing reggae style music from vinyl on a twin deck. To me one of the decks distorted the output.

Evening until last, midnight, bell.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seven Bro7hers - Session Craft Beer | 3.80 | | I am sure the condition was as intended by the brewer but this was pure sharp lemon juice. I'd not call it a beer but it did make a reasonable shandy when lemonade took the edge off it |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Seaforth | 5.90 | Not Tried | |
| Siren Craft - Liquid Mistress Red IPA | 5.80 | Not Tried | |
| Gipsy Hill - Southpaw | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried |

I arrived shortly before the scheduled 4pm opening time and found a friend of mine waiting outside. The pub opened about three or four minutes late for which the barman was duly castigated. A fair number of customers arrived and I would guess that this pub became very busy later on.

Evening. Talk about low-lights. I found one very bright area at the very rear in an otherwise sea of darkness. The Jury's out.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Hazy which Jaipur should not be |
| Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

Newly opened pub that is a bit bleak although the staff were doing their best – candle-lit, with flowers on each table and good music.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 |  | Perhaps not in tip-top condition, but still an excellent flavour. |
| Brockley - Golden Ale | 3.80 | | Tasted a bit thin and insubstantial. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Box Steam - Tunnel Vision | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| East London (ELB) - Foundation Bitter | 4.20 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Deptford, Greater London, SE8 4NS.
An Antic pub opened in July 2014 in the former Job Centre just opposite Deptford railway station in Deptford High Street. It is a particularly unglamorous 1960s/70s office building, stripped back to its bare shell, and with a little outside seating area at the rear. An open view kitchen and food provision was added in June 2016. Closed for a refurbishment and name change in 2023 and still operated by Antic. 8 handpumps.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 15 different beers and tried 5 of them.
