| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epicurus Craft Beer (formerly Hornbeam) - Cheer Up Cherry | 4.10 | | Dark bitter with just the slightest hint of cherry. Some malt and a little hoppiness. My score 15/20. |
| Empire - Navigator | 4.00 | | Pale golden ale with a mainly dry and hoppy character. Short, dry finish. My score 14/20. |
| Downton - Marynka Magic | 4.10 | | Pale with a slight haze. Could have been better with a bit longer in the cellar. Hoppy and bitter with undeveloped malt taste. My score 14/20, but could have got 15-16 if less green. |

The pub is found in Southwark, Central London, SE1 9AA.
Famous pub opposite Borough Market in Stoney Street. Central bar has many beers which change on a regular basis and are mostly from UK micros. Can be extremely busy. Refurbishment some time ago and now there is one main room with a side area with seating as well. Many customers use the pavement outside to stand and enjoy their drinks. Really a must for anyone taking in London pubs. Sports 12 handpumps with 6 in each of the 2 distinct bar serving areas plus a further 4 for cider dispense at the far rear. Upstairs restaurant bar area too, mainly for lunchtime use. In 2019 the real ale choice was drastically reduced to 4 and the cider was withdrawn. Downstairs toilets. Card payment only, cash not accepted here.
We have visited this pub 282 times, seen 813 different beers and tried 647 of them.
