Imbibe, Southwark

I agree with gristy - the positive comments are obviously pr puff for the venue. You can tell by the fact that they have only commented on one pub.

For my part I have been to this pub several times over the years - its a reasonable bar, nothing particularly special as bars trying to be trendy go but ok for a few drinks after work.

The Castle, Camberwell

Much improve dona recent visit. They now have art on the walls instead of the screen showing mtv or whatever which is much better. Still dont seem to have quite mastered the art of serving food quickly but it is not an unpleasant place to spend time waiting!

The Phoenix, Denmark Hill

Absolutely shambolic pub quiz on Sundays - not worth the bother: questions irrelevant (mostly rubbish from Heat/ East Enders/ the tabloids not real knowledge), delivery and accoustics poor, only four rounds and it stretches on for far too long.

Music in the pub also very poor - it seemed to be the bar person's ipod and far too loud to allow conversation. Worst was the song selection - nirvana and other heavy rock which is fine for a late night club night or rock bar but not so good on a Sunday afternoon at 5.

In fact this Sunday it seemed like it was more of a teenagers' youth club being run for the benefit of the bar staff than actually a pub that seeks to welcome all people. I dont think I will be going back in a hurry
