About East Dulwich Tavern
Corner pub with skylights and outdoor space plus weekly trivia nights.
Traditional pub on a striking semi-circular corner site and containing antique furniture with comfortable seating areas giving a cosy effect with the subdued lighting. The wooden floor boards surround many distinctive original floor tiles of varying patterns. The food is good quality. Outdoor seating on the pavement. Jazz events are held at the upstairs rooms (The Lodge). The Lodge is also available for private functions. Transferred from Antic to Urban Pubs & Bars in summer 2024.

The carrot and the other veggies were nice. Agree with the review of Mariia from 6 months ago, very overcooked, sad Yorkshire pudding. Another member of our party found the barman rude. I think for just getting a drink and visiting it's probably fine.

There is no garden but the music is good. The acoustics is not greater but high ceilings. I haven’t tried any food, just a late drink. Music is audible and good at times. People of all sorts.

Friendly, welcoming, 7 ale taps, TVs, pub quiz. I never eat in pubs cos the prices are always too steep, but they aren't here, and the food was well-presented and delicious. Great pub.

Average Sunday roast. The pink part of the beef was good, but also, there were no edibles/chewable cuts. Yorkshire pudding was the biggest disappointment. How could you overcook it so badly and serve it? Good beer selection. The tables could’ve been cleaned more regularly.

Such pleasant bar staff. Really enjoyed "an oul pint" of ale here with a couple of pals on a Saturday afternoon having taken in the local charity shops. The food looked great 😃. Pets allowed. Eclectic mix of decor and really a nice atmosphere.
