The 30 Best Beer in Croydon

“Superb local hostelry - great beers helpful staff. Always a great welcome”

“Great experience wine tasting with my partner and some friends and family for our first wedding next year! Ryan and James were really friendly and there were options laid out for us ready to go when we arrived. Ryan led us through the tasting expertly and was able to answer all of our questions. We were able to purchase great red, rose, white and prosecco options for the big day. Would definitely recommend!”

“My secret to a perfect day: double egg, bacon,onion and mushroom sandwich with a drizzle of brown sauce...The two brothers are proud in what they do - hard to find these days... and ask for runny eggs. My mouth is watering while typing although I just had a toasted BLT(on the diet - new years resolution. Still asked to throw a runny egg in it.)”

“My favourite local pub. The best staff and exceptionally well kept beer. Punters are all friendly a real gem of a pub”

“Absolutely lovely welcoming place to go. Management and bar staff are so friendly. We’re from the North East of England and we were made to feel so welcome. Food is great too. The bar has a nice outside seating area perfect for the summer months. We look forward to visiting whenever we’re in the area.”

“So cute and fun! Lovely landlady and cat - we had lots of fun chatting”

“Amazing and friendly little pub. They've got a really nice patio in the back. Great little find! Out of all the pubs in the area this is a gem!”

“Lovely spot for a Sunday Roast. Took the Misses and some mates here a few weeks ago and the grub was very good and very reasonably priced too. One of the best roast spuds I've had in a pub. Guinness was up there with some of the better pints I've had. Not a massive fan of the inside of the pub, bit like a sports club I prefer more of a dirty old mans boozer, but it has a cracking beer garden for the sunny days. I'd return for a summers sesh on the ciders.”

“The best Chinese take away in Croydon. The flavours are amazing, portion sizes match the price also. The customer service is great. Also you can pay by card unlike a lot of Chinese takeaways in the area. My go to is a Kong pow king prawn with special fried rice.”

“I jumped on the bus going the wrong way to get home from ASDA . When I and the wife jumped off to head the right direction we decided to grab a bite when we saw the Plough. They were only serving Sunday Roast and I am extremely glad . I would have hated to have ordered something else and missed this great dish! Being from Texas there is a certain expectation when it come to cooked beef and this roast didn’t disappoint but you will pay for it. It’s a bit pricey for only 1 piece of beef but the quality was outstanding. I will return for more!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great Pub. Owners are experienced and very welcoming. You really can’t go wrong. Also they have a cider called “Inch” be careful it’s delicious!”

“Our local pub. We are not regulars but came here quite a few times with our baby son and with friends. Beer is always great, staff is lovely. Haven’t had a chance to try to food yet but will do soon. It’s dog friendly too (it has two beer gardens). We do grief the vivid blue colour. It was such a nice vibe. The white is quite ordinary.”

“Good local boozer, friendly staff, killer pool every Thursday and disco/DJ every Friday. Family friendly boozer at the heart of our community”

“Great spot for food and drinks. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the portion sizes! Nice atmosphere inside and out but we opted to sit in the beer garden and enjoy the sunshine. Lots of parasols for cover. Super friendly manager who was very accommodating, checking everything was good for us and letting us know about a BBQ the following day.”

“Cute place, I didn't try the hot menu but thoroughly enjoyed the Pistachio Cheesecake and Coco Loco smoothie, indoor and outdoor seating and toilets provided. I already love the gardens and the cafe is just the cherry on top.”

“The fox and hound is a traditional Irish style pub. Friendly and helpful staff. Beers such as Stella, Guinness ect. No craft beers but good draft. this keeps the pub affordable. Karaoke on a Friday nights and live music on a Saturday. The Wolfe tones often play here.”

“I had been coming to the Dog and Bull for years before the Refurb and always found it charming. I returned in May to a bright and vibrant garden, dubbed 'the wilderness' the new booths were a welcome upgrade and made the space feel substantial! Besides the cosmetic changes, I have grown to love this pub in my home town of Croydon even more than I did before! We've been so lucky to have an amazing summer and it's been great to see this pub so close to my heart packed out with new and returning people each week! I have been raving about The Dog since May and have invited all my uni mates who talk down on Croydon to have a drink with me There, they've all eaten their words and finally seen the charm that Croydon has that is encapsulated in what I think is the best pub in central Croydon! The staff are friendly and make everyone feel like they're in their local and they have live DJ sets, with music I wish more places would play (deep cuts of Garage, R&B, Jungle…list goes on). I wanted to write this review as we always complain when we don't like an establishment but never give praise to environments where we feel comfortable and want to return to so thank you to all the staff at The Dog and I'm sure you'll be seeing me again in the near future.”

“The bar staff were friendly, easily approachable and fast with serving. All my orders were correct, quick and the staff were highly welcoming. They made the environment friendly and approachable, The members of staff present serving me were -James -kiva -Shaq Huge thanks to these guys for bringing such a welcoming and enjoyable service to me and my friends ❤️ will defo be coming back for more :)”

“Great old fashioned footballers pub tucked away in a side street. Very acceptable beer reasonable priced served by lovely smiling ladies. Of course that night everyone was ecstatic we had just beaten the Arsenal 3-0. !!!.”

“Lovely pub! Service was friendly and efficient. The pub was clean both inside and outside. There is a terrace at the back with some table and booths. The booths are equipped with heaters so you can enjoy them during all seasons. Food was nice and portions were sufficient for a group of 4. Toilets were clean. I would recommend this pub for any type of event. You can enjoy a pint with friends, or a party with colleagues. They also have live music sometimes so check the board at the entrance for information.”

“Great pub, friendly staff, friendly customers Dog friendly Definitely will go back again”

“The food was absolutely fantastic — fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. Every dish was enjoyable and clearly prepared with care. The staff were equally wonderful: very welcoming, friendly, and attentive, which made the whole experience even more pleasant. I truly felt comfortable and valued as a guest and would happily return again.”

“Absolutely delicious food. They are under new management and the new team deliver outstanding customer service. Friendly and attentive, a great place to eat. Only giving 4 stars for atmosphere as it’s so quiet, but hopefully more people will discover this gem and it’ll begin to buzz.”

“We booked for a large party of us to come late after a local event on a Monday night. We were going to arrive at about the time the kitchen was closing. Amy and the team were absolutely brilliant in making the whole thing work. We pre-ordered food, which was waiting for us when we arrived. Staff stayed late especially - which was amazing. Everyone went above and beyond to accommodate us and could not have been friendlier or more helpful. It was a lovely event - good food, reasonably priced and brilliant staff. Thank you to everyone at The Crown - it was a fab birthday celebration!”

“Newly opened in Coney Hall. Grear Atmosphere, delicious food drinks and cocktails menu . Friendly staff who can't do enough for. Well wort a visit.”

“Really affordable prices. Inside it sadly lacks character. It could do with reflecting its rich musical history with pictures of the artists and some text. Staff very friendly. Pool table and dart board.”

“Had a lovley time on Saturday here unfortunately the kareoke is not on but the landlord played any music we requested and gave us free shots the staff were warm and welcoming and will definitely be going back thanks to all wirking we were truly looked after”

“Made me feel so welcome, my lil doggy and me! Really comfy chair, fabulous pint of London Pride and best music- an 80s mix tape. All ages here, had several nice smiles off fellow customers. Definitely returning with my laptop, I appreciate a comfy pub like this!”

“Called in for a few drinks while in the area. This is a "proper" old school pub which is rare these days! The lady serving was lovely and helped us with some local knowledge of bars in the area. Good pint of Guinness”

“Fantastic, fabulous pint of Guinness”
