Dover Castle Bar in Southwark

The bouncer is so incredibly rude I will never come back ever, he’s very pushy and confrontational for no reason

Great atmosphere and drinks on the cusp of being classed as “cheap”. Definitely cheap however in London. Nice enough area surrounding the pub and convenient to tube station. No beer garden.

Apparently, seats get reserved here when you step out for a smoke. Rude staff.

Vibes are super off, not safe for young girls

Had a good experience watching the football here. Lots of screens about. It was packed and yet service was really fast with 5 bar tenders working. Also pretty affordable pints.

Very disrespectful staff you’re better off somewhere else

Great place to watch big football matches !!

Our all time favourite bar in London! We’ve been coming for a few years now since uni and this bar has a special place in mine and my girlfriend’s hearts. The best bar staff, great atmosphere from afternoon until late and the best prices in London! If you don’t love this pub you’re a silly Willy! 🍻

Great staff, very helpful. Prices are decent especially for London

Always an amazing atmosphere in Dover Castle. Great music and decent priced drinks. The bar staff are always efficient with serving the customers, even when it's extremely busy.

Very noisy places, you can hardly get enough sleep until the morning

Brilliant pub. Cheap drinks, sports on multiple TVs and then music into the early hours! We'll go back, for sure.

I was solo traveling through London for a weekend and I was struggling to meet folks until I walked into this establishment. Great staff, fast service, cool patrons, and most importantly cheap drinks. Truly a neighborhood bar that I’d recommend to someone trying to meet others without breaking the bank.

Guys behind the bar absolutely hilarious. Good vibes and honestly just a good night out. 10/10 would recommend staying in the hostel and just spending the weekend in the bar. Ethan has a envious beard. Albert couldn't be more of a gentleman if he tried. Havent seen a team work together more. Great selection of beer as well

cheapest bar around, so lucky I found it. Vibes are immaculate and the staff are so so fun , especially the young boy with curtains and a toothpick - I would come back just for him!

Banging atmosphere and cheap bevvies

It was so bad, didn’t play the songs I requested for hours and they never played it. Also the age range of the music was bad

nice place, well priced drinks, lots of tvs for sports. could do with a few more chairs, maybe?

Too loud, service was a bit none existent as we weren't young students!

Does what it says on the can...

Cracking chat and reasonably priced plastic cups

The place was very nice but unfortunately we had stuff stolen there. They told us to put items in place but still stole. Bartender was rude and unhelpful but security joe was great. Do NOT COME. Unbelievable.

One of my favourite pubs in London. Friendly staff and lively atmosphere with an unpretentious vibe. Can get really busy in the evenings, be aware

It is was it is a fun irish/student bar. Great staff. Leave your ego at home...

Come here often as I live near by and love it. The tap options aren't expansive but they have what you'd expect. 2-4-1 cocktails were delicious and the bartender's are always amazing. Will keep coming until I move away, especially with the cheap prices! Highly recommend

If you're looking for... Solid and very cheap Guinness. The music is loud, the songs are expected, the crowd is very young.

I can honestly say this in an awesome pub, plenty of screens for football, plenty of beers to choose from, great bar staff who were really friendly, helpful and welcoming, and great prompt service though that was probably because it was early, they said in a few hours it would have been rammed, again a good indicator of a place! Really happy we chanced upon this place, as it provided a perfect venue to watch the Man City vs Spurs game, relax, drink and we will come back when we can! Thank you.

Was taken here by some 'locals' that live very close to it and I can see why - a fun pub for drinks and a dance. Would visit again.

One of my best mates university watering holes, so he invited me to join him on a nostalgia trip. Decent pin especially for students, it's only a short trip from the hospital/university and practically next door to borough tube station. Drinks are fairly priced, and everyone we met there was friendly, chatty, and having a good time. Rounded off our night nicely before we headed home.

Genuinely the best Guinness I've had in London, big up Albert. Great bar for Football and very friendly staff. Highly reccomend

Relaxed atmosphere. Good drinks. You can also order food from a nearby place.

Chris and sherif are cool people 🤙 Not as cool as Rheo and Lizzie but decent enough

Not quite my scene but I’ll pop in for a pint occasionally on the way home from work.

Great atmosphere and a lot of fun. Right next KCL guys campus, so a popular student Hotspot.

Website is not updated as the place is closed. It says it's open from 12am.

Прекрасное место чтобы расслабиться за бутылочкой пивка

Brilliant discovery driven past never been in Will be back Cheers Simon

Didn't realise that there was an entry for just the pub, so added a review on the hostel entry ... will repeat on here: Great little pub. Good for music and football, and drinks very reasonable. Review of Dover Castle Hostel & Flatshares Pending review I can't comment on the accommodations, just from a pub visit point. The staff are plentiful, friendly and efficient. Drinks are very reasonable: Pint of cider is £2.80, compared to £6.00 at Borough Market 10 minutes walk away. Great that they have an old quiz machine there too which is great for solo travellers. I am staying nearby for this week as I'm in the smoke from Norwich for work, but as I expect to be here on and off for 3 months, I may just make this great little pub my local. Totally recommend whatever age you are as the groups seem mixed.

Excellent place to drink and eat, come and make friends

Super old sofas to sit on 😬 otherwise ok

Love this pub. Pool table by day. Bouncing by night. Staff are lovely.

Great bar, friendly staff, good discount deals for students. I’m definitely coming back

Probably the best place to watch sport in London. And extremely cheap pints, too.

This isn't a bar, it's not a hostel, it's an icon, a temple, a way of life. When someone asks you to go to a bar you contemplate the cost, the benefit, and ultimately make a decision. When someone asks you "DC?" The decision has been made. Dan the manager is a legend, it's usually too stuffed but it's always stuffed full of absolutely brilliant, beautiful, and fun people, student priced drinks, terribly brilliant music (Mr bright side etc.) and wicked vibes, this is probably the best bar in London for anyone aged between 19-23.

Far too loud give how small the space is, even with very few people in the bar. If you order pizza, they order it in and it's really good, for only £6.

excellente expérience et de grands souvenirs, notamment le fait d'y avoir vécu en direct la coupe du monde 2014 et le fameux 7-1 de l'allemagne face au brésil ! possibilité de manger pizzas le soir, pub au top, auberge de jeunesse great expérience and a lot of memories . i had seen world cup 2014 and the victory of germany 7-1 versus Brasil . pizzas in the evening

Talk to Jonathan, one of the door staff; THE best bouncer I've ever met! Ask him his age...You'll never believe him! Happy birthday next July jonathan - Kirsty & Ian

Brilliant place, welcoming, good staff, great atmosphere!

Příjemný bar, dostatečná nabídka piva a alkoholu, sleva pro studenty, posezení na baru jak v křeslech. Podnik má i kulečník a promítací pláno, nyní tam tak můžete sledovat všechny zápasy MS ve fotbale.

Musica, birra a costi contenuti, tutti i clienti sono viaggiatori quindi il luogo ideale per interagire con praticamente ogni parte del mondo. Menu da pub, niente di eccezionale, ma deve solo accompagnare la birra...

Well located, cheap and great staff. Cheap and wellknown beers and cider, excellent atmosphere. Lots of TVs broadcasting sports.

Live music every second Thursday and well, loud good music all night long - a cracking night out in London! Student ID required and then you're in to the best night in town - thanks to Joe the bouncer and all the staff Darragh etc!!! It's probably better now that some geezer called Kempo has left I've been told :-)

I Love coming here with my dad and my brother mike. It's always a fun night and it really is the place for the most enjoyable night out in London. Gary Smith the manager is a really lovely man and all the staff are really nice people you are always made to feel very welcome. I always look forward to coming here. The Dover castle bar rocks it really is the best bar around.

Esquina súper pintoresca, muy buena ubicación , muy buena música , buen ambiente , la mejor onda , varias cervezas de canilla

Excelente atmosfera noturna. É o ponto de encontro dos estudantes da região. Hóspedes têm desconto no Pint, aproveitem!!!

Love the place :-) you got a great treasure here and cheap drinks, the barman kempo smashes up some wicked shots and cocktails and on Thursdays they have a bit of entertainment going. Well worth a visit

Mi hermano Mike vive en Londres y éste es su representante Pub. El jueves 28 de mayo mi hermano Mike realizó un concierto aquí con su cantante Hayley y ambas eran excepcionales. Todo el mundo era tener un tiempo estupendo. Todo el personal es realmente encantador gente amable. Dover Castle Bar es la mejor noche en Londres. Me encanta este bar. Todo el mundo es muy amable y atento. Éste es el lugar para ir.

Só de ter chopp Blue Moon com preço acessível fiquei muito feliz! A música também me agradou, rock indie. Recomendo!

If you want to feel quite old (At the time of writing I'm 29) pop into this place - it's ram-packed full of young travellers and students, locals and others all just having a nice time around a pool table enjoying the (delivered!) pizzas on a sofa. It's a fun spot I enjoy visiting once ever six months or so.

I'd 100% go again! It's got such a good atmosphere, the bar staff are very friendly, and the food is very cheap and very filling. The music always seems to be the latest charts although every time I've requested songs they've put them on, which I think creates an even better night out with friends!! The deals on each night of the week always seems to have something for everyone!

Good beers, great locals, visited by foreigners, pretty lunch standard for London but fun all the same. Worth stopping for one or two. You never know who might pop in. An in joke!!!!!!!!

En 1 mot : le paradis des pubs. Beaucoup de choix, possibilité de manger, réduction pour les résidents de l'auberge de jeunesse, Nombreux écrans retransmettant bcp de sport.Personnel agréable, gentil et trés serviable

Pub com cerveja em conta, staff atencioso e comida gostosa. Se você que tomar uma cerveja, jogar sinuca e assistir qualquer esporte, vá para o Dover.

This pub is great! The drinks are cheap and there's a discount if you stay at the hostel. The atmosphere is really good. There are little benches outside to sit on and have a smoke. The pizzas are delivered by a pizzeria down the street, so there's a bit of a wait, but they're good.

The drinks were cheap and most nights have a theme - Ladies night, USA food etc. The bar played most big sporting matches so it can become quite busy for a small bar...

Absolutely no reason to go to this pub. The atmosphere is awful and surprisingly it is full all the time. I really dont understand why people go to a place where you wait 40 min for a small pizza, not even homemade. Waiting ages for get a drink and seats are incredibly unorganized. There is a tiny pool table just in the middle of the pub, hasnt got an outside area to sit and smoke. Terrible. People who go there should try The Roebuck, on the same road and an amazing pub, nothing like Dover and Castle.

" molto buono " per quanto riguarda il divertimento e il rapporto qualità- prezzo : se vi trovate da quelle parti e avete voglia di trascorrere una serata divertente è veramente il luogo ideale ! è frequentato da ragazzi giovani e da moltissimi studenti .. ma anche da personaggi abbastanza particolari residenti nelle vicinanze e sempre ben disposti a fare 4 chiacchere ! il cibo non è niente di che e non c e una grande scelta di bevande, alcoliche e non , ma l ' atmosfera è piacevole,spesso suonano gruppi dal vivo o organizzano serate disco.

Has really good cheap deals on drinks which makes it a good place to stop on a pub crawl and is not adverse to fancy dress

Típico pub inglés muy cerca de Oxford St. Con cerveza de elaboración propia buenísima. El ambiente entre semana es de mucha gente que trabaja en las oficinas de los alrededores y los fines de semana está casi vacío. La comida, la típica de lie pubs ingleses. Llevo parando varios años y el personal cambia constantemente.

Nice pub for a drink but eat somewhere else, very ordinary. Nothing appeared to be freshly cooked, just thawed out and warmed up. Crust on meat pie was inedible.
