Southwark Tavern

This single venue is infamous and great. More recently updated this place used to be the drinking den for all the late late drinkers running their own stools on the borough market sitting opposite with very odd opening hours and rough-as-a-biscuit clientele. However in its more modern times the place appears to be delivering into the Gastro-pub domain offering powerful selections of fine foods, light jazz on the audible and would you believe it? Eight different types of cider at the bar. The place still shows its age however with traditional wooden panelling, ancient style front and basement bar. It carries itself as popular but not over crowded through out the day and the bar persons are as friendly as a shiny button.

Overall the place lends itself well to the community feel of the area, yet with such proximity to the City along with a powerful punch of the Cider and food offering, i see few stones unturned it the name of excellence. I only with my bottom didn’t hurt so much once I got up from the most uncomfortable stool in the western world , 8/10
