Bit disappointing to be honest. Sterile looking inside but a damp, stale smell on entry. Relatively expensive drinks and bar staff not particularly welcoming.

Great place to grab a drink and wasn’t too busy which was great. Definitely recommend visiting if you’re nearby.

The beehive was the best pub we could have imagined to have visited in London as two women on a trip alone!! Highly, highly recommend. The owner was so welcoming, the patrons were fantastic and showed amazing hospitality. We visited for Taylor Swift’s concert and they played her on the sound system for us. We had great drinks, authentic conversation, and an overall amazing evening. So glad we went here! We’ll be back again!

Stopped here to wait for the train queues to go down after a busy 100 match at the Oval. Despite a lively crowd the staff handled everyone really well especially the lovely man on mop duty, well done team!

Barman told me no food gets served here, even though the google page and even the site for the pub has a menu. Nice big space. Quite empty though. Good for a drink.

Was charged £4 for less than half a pint. Barman told me he needed to change the keg when the half pint was nearly finished. I said because it was about 50ml short that was alright. But then they went on to charge me £4. I asked, “£4 for a half, are you sure?”, to which they said yes. Ridiculous, especially as it was less than a half pint

Good place to meet my son before going to the cricket. Pub looks old style on the outside but has a very large open interior with bi fold doors going to the outside seating area. Plenty of tables and seats with lots of Tvs . Good selection of Ales and Lagers and cheaper than bars in the Oval. Probably do food as well but didn't have the opportunity to see a menu.

This pub exists mainly for people who are either on their way to or from the Oval. It's an unashamed sports pub - several big screens with Sky Sports on all around the bar. Not a great atmosphere,and not the cheapest. But if you want to get tanked before the Hundred or a test match this will do.

Great place to go before the cricket but the prices are ridiculous. I was charged £7 for a Coors Shandy. When I contested the price, I was responded to in a not so favourable fashion. You expect a lower alcohol standard beer to cost less than other drinks, especially when half of it is lemonade. Will try alternative pubs next time.

Excellent pub for watching football, cricket, rugby etc in a friendly atmosphere. Nice garden too if you want to get away from the TV screens. Tends to get very crowded when matches are on at the Oval, but normally there is usually a comfortable seat to be found somewhere.

Had a horrible, cloudy pint of Tribute. I really tried, but I simply couldn't drink it! Swapped it for Doom Bar but it was a bit cloudy too. Has someone been knocking the kegs about in the cellar?

Beware of this pub. If the cricket is on the drinks prices will increase during your visit. Visited with a friend and paid £14, then £11.40, then £15.60 for the exact same drinks. According to staff these price increases are “normal” during the cricket and they have no control over them. The pub doesn’t advertise this anywhere. This deliberately misleads customers and is underhand. We won’t be visiting again.

I haven't been to this pub for about 3 years. I enjoyed my recent return visit and even recognised some of the bar staff. It's a spacious, comfortable pub with a lot of screens if you want to watch sport. We call the pub the TARDIS as it's much bigger inside than it looks from outside.

The Beehive looks a little dated from the outside, but don't be put off. Inside a stylish modern design welcomes you. No food on offer, when I was there, and that's not altogether a bad situation. It means that the staff can get on with serving you a wide range of drinks, at resonable prices Popular with locals and office staff , who know they have hit on something good.

First the positives, the location is good and Ray the barman and the manager from New Zealand are both very nice and very professional. As for a lot of the other staff; however, it appears they have not seen a pub before let alone served in one. As a local to the area, I have seen another manager a few times in the Duke of York in Southwark (not too far away) as it’s probably too expensive to drink in her own pub. A mid range medium Rose is £8.20 and in the Duke of York and other pubs close by the price is around £6.40. £8.20 is not normal price for the area. If you are a tourist in the Hilton next door, go further afield and save your money. Well 50 meters anyway there are cheaper pubs dotted around. In addition, if there is a price on the website it probably wont match the price you are charged at the till. Ask for a receipt as you may be over charged. I got charged over £7.00 for a beer. Slightly cheaper than the American bar at the Savoy. The food is hit and miss, if you get served. Some lovely looking cheesy chips got placed on the table next to mine. We went to the bar and was informed the kitchen was shut. Although, some tourists were ordering fish and chips at the same time and got served shortly after . Very odd. We need more decent pubs in the area. Hope this one improves and/or my bank manager extends a loan so I can afford a glass of wine. From local knowledge there are cheaper and arguably better pubs nearby. Trust me
