About Green Goddess
A former Barclays Bank branch, closed in January 2021, has been converted into a pub with a proposed planned integrated microbrewery by the Common Rioters brewery team and opened in July 2022.
A basic wooden bar counter has been installed equipped with 2 handpumps and with 20 wall keg taps on a white tiled bar back, the latter dispensing beers, cider and wine. Ascension ciders are regularly seen here. A large TV screen displays today's cask ales and keg beers and cider offerings and is high up on the wall to the left of the bar.
Seating is at low canteen style tables and chairs. Panoramic street views of the Royal Standard roundabout to watch the world go by is through large windows.
A brewery is being installed and is visible at the far right hand end of the bar room but no firm date for its commissioning has yet been announced.
2 handpumps for ever changing cask ales. Teas, coffees and bar snacks comprising Cheese and Charcuterie Boards are available and sometimes a street food supplier sets up in a corner of the bar floor or on the front patio.
Card payment ONLY, no cash accepted.

Lovely little local place. Very friendly, helpful bar staff who will guide you to make sure you select something you'll really enjoy. Relaxed atmosphere that welcomes dogs and children. Great value too.

Recently visited Greenwich for a stay with friends and we went to The Green Goddess several times. Of course the beers are great and staff is wonderful but the atmosphere was great. Lots of soul and character and exactly what I want out of a local pub. I can’t wait to visit again!

Great selection of beers, can't rate the food as we didn't have any.

Generally friendly and good energy place. They're doing lots of events for the community which I feel (as a local) is desperately needed. I attend the pub quiz here monthly. I'd come more often but I'm more of a spirits drinker so it's usually the events pulling me here not the drink selection (although I have had a couple of ciders here that I have enjoyed).

Been here three times over past few years and I’m unsure why I return. Service and selection of beers are great. Trouble is, the place feels oddly soulless.
