Un-planned visit after we walked out of the GBG-listed pub next door on finding that it had no real ale available. Empty in there, very busy in here.

Crowded, early on a Friday evening, and the beer was flowing.
BeerABVScoreNotes
East London (ELB) - Nightwatchman4.50ExcellentA deep red, chocolately, fruity beer.
Ramsbury - Marlborough Lite3.90AcceptableAn easy-drinking, pale, light ale. The sort of thing you could drink all night.
Cottage - Jack and the Dragon4.80Poor- I only have a Cottage Brewery aberration about once every six months – and this was an aberration. Hint of cardboard. This beer screams “cheap ingredients”.

Website.

The pub is found in Tooting, Greater London, SW17 9NG.

A large pub in Mitcham Road, close to Tooting Broadway tube station. There are three rooms – a bar, a lounge and a restaurant area – plus a back yard. For most of its history the pub was named the Foresters Arms, but became the Antelope when taken over and rejuvenated by the Antic Pub Co., following a period as Jack Beard’s. Transferred from Antic to Urban Pubs and Bars in late summer 2024.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 13 different beers and tried 5 of them.
