The Dog & Bell

PubLocals' pick

A bright red Deptford backstreet local with a giant Guinness toucan on the side, a carpet, a hop-hung bar and five or six cask pumps of mostly unfamiliar ales. Old regulars sink Guinness with their dogs at the bar while fine art students smoke on the pedestrianised street outside.

Good to know

  • Ask what is on cask; Londonist singles out the unusual draught ale list.
