Ruse, Southwark, London

This place is great for watching sport. They have several screens so you can see clearly from anywhere and often show different games / matches in the restaurant and bar areas. There is always a good atmosphere and its packed out for Liverpool games. Food is good and cheap, beer rates normal London prices but generally a nice pub. It can be a bit quiet off season or if no big games on but a friendly place whatever. No outside seating is a pain in summer, more of a winter pub.

I’ve generally only been here for the pub lunches, but the consistent quality makes this is popular Friday lunchtime haunt for myself and colleagues.

Standard pub fare food wise: sausages and mash, burgers, pies (recommended) and the like, quickly served and priced very reasonably (approx 6 pounds per main course). They serve reasonable beers (althogh not a massive selection of draft), including Staroprahmen. They do promote cocktails at reasonable value at 4.50 or 15 for a jug, but I’ve not tried these yet.

I recommened this pub as a safe bet for taking a group of people to for lunch. I don’t know how it is in the evening however.
