The Mitre, Greenwich

This pub was slowly being deserted by locals, leaving it with a trickle of tourists only interested in a 'warm' beer and fish and chips for their photo album (it'll never lose those due to its location). But the new manager has jacked the place up. The smaller adjoining Irish bar has been reopened on the weekends and is great for sport (football, rugby, racing, whatever the consensus is) and generally the place has a buzz about it again.

Not sure about liber's list of destruction. The food must be terrible as you can never get a table for a roast on a Sunday. And last time I went in there (last night) the toilets had been completely refurbished and unless I was dreaming I used a handle to open the door.

I really like this place. It's well situated by the station for a beer before and after journeys, they do beer specials (�2 a Foster's on a Monday night) and food specials every day (�3.95), sport's always on the TV and the staff are all fun and friendly. I suppose it's no good if you are looking for a log fire and an old bloke reading the Telegraph in the corner, but then there are plenty of these places.

Not crazy about the interior makeover but it's up their with the great pub gardens. Alas I shall not be enjoying it again having been told to unplug my laptop charger 'because we need to watch costs'. E-On inform me my particular laptop cost 1.5p an hour to charge. Blimey, those new cushions must have cost a fortune...
