About Hardy's Free House
Ungentrified Irish pub with an interior featuring old Irish road signs amongst other things and pastel dark green walls. On two levels, the second, raised, one is soon encountered upon entry. Several large TV screens show a constant variety of sports. To the rear there is a yard type garden with tables and chairs and a covered smoking area. Thai food is served Thursdays to Sunday. The attached former Green Pea restaurant was converted into a wine and cocktail bar area in 2021 but its current status is not known. The bar counter is adorned with three handpumps and very occasionally a second cask ale is available (Ruddles has been seen). Very competitive cask pricing.
Greenwich Council planning approval 23/1399/F was given on 19th January 2023 for "erection of an additional storey, first-floor rear extension and refurbishment of the building to create 10 short-term accommodation rooms (Use Class C1) above a pub, including the upgrade of the pub frontage and other associated works." Local press reports suggested the pub's closure date at the end of February 2024 with the ground floor being a restaurant after completion of the works, potentially making this a pub at risk. By August 2024 the pub remained trading.

Came in for a Guinness, but stayed for a couple of pints more. To bad I have to go back home today. Would have come back for more.

A wonderful place, real welcome and good beer. Down to earth and really pleasant. Thoroughly recommended for a visit.

Cozy pub with the sweetest staff. Cheap compared to other places on the same road. Got the best cider (inch cider) for 4.40 pounds each. Highly recommended.

Great, great local pub. Good prices, sports and the best Guinness in London. A must in the area.

Such a shame.. was really looking forward to coming here seeing good reviews but the older barmaid was extremely rude. Make sure if you come here to buy a drink IMMEDIATELY or face sarcastic and passive aggressive comments… we hadn’t even taken our coats off and we were hounded to buy a drink or leave. Not the most welcoming pub…assuming they’re not too keen on any younger newbies!
