I'll be visiting this place, fecking love their beer.

CHG

Went to the Union before the game on Saturday as The Albert is closed for a re-furb and got charged £4.95 for a pint of Red, the barman cringed as he asked me for the cash, it was nice though.

4.95 for a piint of Red? whats that - red wine???

Slight off topic but i just heard that the Swan has been bought byt someone and is going to be turned nito a bistro. Now whether this is complete tosh i dont know... but it does had a nice lick of white paint.

Off_it

I love a beer.

However, have never quite got on with Meantime's stuff. Dunno why. I want to like it - local small business and all that - but I just don't rate it.

And the Greenwich Union is an absolutely terrible "pub". Why go in there when the best pub in Greenwich is immediately next door?

Off_it

Lavender and beer do not mix. FACT.

Charlton_Charlie

Hmmm, don't know what to say Off_it... I tend to drink the 'lagers' in the Union rather than the other brews, which is strange in itself as on the whole I don't drink lager... I know what you mean about the Union...can be a bit hit and miss and depends on who's serving - some have attitude, some don't...I usually go with a mate and end up on a barstool at the side of the bar which is a good place to be and we just get stuck in, chat and don't really pay much attention to what's going on around us... Haven't been next door for several years now, no idea why.....will try again next time up there..

It’s brewed in Charlton ? Whereabouts ?

I think that makes me love it even more !!

P.S as Charlton is in Greenwich I guess it technically has been brewed in Greenwich. It’s like when I try and chat up girls, if they ask me where I’m from I say “Greenwich” then I enjoy the look of disappointment when the taxi pulls up in Eltham.

The brewery is in the industrial estate between the Thames and The Valley...

Was in there with CHG. Mad prices. One quick pint then off to the much better boozer next door. Really hope the Albert is the same as it was before (only slightly done up) and doesn't go all gastro. It's our regular pre and post game boozer for a decent pint and some darts.

The Meantime Brewery's currently on Penhall Road, although I've heard they're moving to a new site off Blackwall Lane, Greenwich.

Its boss Alistair Hook is a Charlton fan, I believe.

I don't know though, cavier and arras could be a good crack.

And whoever is complaining about prices in the Union should try the Rake in Borough Market. I've paid £6 for a THIRD of a pint of beer in there, and they charge £3 for a bag of crisps. Crikey!

What i would have peeeed my pants larfing and said your alrite keep it


i saw a programme last night where the fella was give a shot of whiskey that was 250 squid a dram now i am hoping a dram is scottish for 20 bottles

Menu looks nice in the restaurant though.

Once payed 36 bucks for 4 halves in a hotel in New York, and tipping the balance of the 40 was pretty much mandatory. The scenery both indoor and out the window was impressive, but I wouldn't get trashed in there.

worth paying if you see the women (and have bought a bottle of vodka duty free at the airport!)

ken from bexley

Used to Live in Hyde Vale......pubs were alway busy then!
May well check this out on Friday lunchtime the pub.
Looks promising......

Popped in on Friday early evening. What a lovely setting. Sat outside until it got too chilly and i can envisage many a sunny day sat in that courtyard. Idllyic setting.

Bit pricey tho but still worth the visit.
