Evening. Live group playing with electronic backing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Late Knights - By the Dawn's Early Light American Pale | 4.00 | | Very quaffable indeed. Much more sophisticated rounded bitterness than the C&F also on offer |
| Clarence & Fredericks - American Pale Ale | 4.50 | | Raw, in your face harsh bitterness |
| Sharp's - Coaster (or Cornish Coaster) | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Truman's Runner | 4.00 | Not Tried | Ran out - presume still Everards |

| White Horse - Wayland Smithy | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Late Knights - Old Red Eyes | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

Evening.

Evening. An excellent live trio playing with a piercing trumpeter. Recognised the saxophonist as a local in the pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Studio - Obsidian | 5.00 | | A Black India Ale. A bit flat |
| Adnams - Lighthouse | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Hastings - Best Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried | Naturally unfined! |
| Clarence & Fredericks - IPA | 5.20 | Not Tried | Ran out on my order |

Evening 2336 hours. Poor show - doors locked and lights low. Up to now have always been able to rely on this as a Sunday night midnight closer.

Evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Pier 54 | 5.40 | | Some good body to this beer |
| Tiny Rebel - Flux | 4.00 | | A black pale ale |
| Rooster's - Last Stand | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Franklins - English Garden Golden Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Late evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Under Current | 4.50 | | Described as Oatmeal Pale Ale - the best Siren Craft I have had to date so had a second as you do |
| Florence - GIN (branded as A Head In A Hat Brewing) A Summer Ale Infused With Botanicals Used By The City Of London Distillery | 4.00 | | OK but retained no head. It did not provide the flavour expectation implied by its lengthy pump clip name, which requires the largest square pumpclip I think I have ever seen |
| Blue Monkey - 99 Red Baboons | 4.20 | Not Tried |
09 Jun 2013 (Philip Pirrip)

After midnight morning visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harbour - Light Ale | 3.70 | | Is anyone else bored and completely sated with lemony beers sold under Bitter, Best Bitter, India Pale Ale and Light Ale epithets? Just a squirt of lemon Jif - are they ubiquitous because they are easy and / or cheap to brew? This is not a Light Ale at all |
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Kipling | 5.20 | Not Tried | |
| Rooster's - Fort Smith | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Rebel - Nightshade German Style Wheat Beer | 5.50 | Not Tried |

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.
