Railway Tavern

Great pub. Came here to watch the football and grab lunch with the family. Good draft options, lovely beer garden and the pizza was the highlight especially the burrata ball for an extra decedant topping! Staff were friendly and helpful. Also conveniently place right next to station. Would recommend a visit!

A fantastic pub that offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, thanks to the charming decor and comfortable seating. The selection of drinks is impressive, featuring a variety of local ales and wines that cater to all tastes. I particularly enjoyed the friendly service from the staff, who were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious, with a nice range of options that are perfect for a casual meal or a hearty pub lunch. This is a perfect spot to unwind with friends, and I can't wait to return!

Located right next to Tulse Hill station, we visited this pub. as Sunderland fans, before and after the game with Millwall. Post match we had the pizzas which were absolutely gorgeous. Great sports pub with a really lively atmosphere.

Solid across the board. Good beer selection (I went for Asahi and Red Stripe), friendly staff and a great day to visit the beer garden.

The security guards really ruin this lovely place. So unbelievably arrogant and rude The guy at the front door was horrendously rude to me and mimicked my voice and making jokes at my expense for no reason at all. I am always polite to hospitality staff as I work in this industry. He was eating food while talking to me and touching my ID with greasy unclean hands. Really unprofessional. The lady security guard with glasses I thought asked me a question, so I politely said “sorry are you talking to me?” and she screamed NO and slammed a door in my face? They seem VERY selective about who they chooses to be rude and bother. They seemed very strict with others but then they let someone else in without an ID? and also loads of people smoking weed in the garden, I don’t mind tbh but it’s just hilarious what they pick and choose is okay or not. I have no idea what their problems are but honestly the security ruin a nice place. Bar staff were great and really nice but security ruined the entire experience.

This pub has everything in one place! Good food, great garden, great selection of beers, live music and excellent service! It is one of my favourite places when i'm in London 🤩🍻 If you haven't been, you are missing out!🙏🇨🇱

Really relaxing and cosy atmosphere. A real sense of community here. It's nice that they cater so much to vegans. Only had the desserts and they were a little underwhelming. Would definitely come back for one of their musical performance nights for some drinks.

One of my favourite pub in south London. Great service , wide selection of beers and decent pizza. The outside area is amazing . Well done

Our autopilot was taking us through Brockwell Park, and towards Herne Hill - no doubt we'd have ended up at The Florence without even knowing it, but something changed in the wind, and we decided to keep walking and scope out Tulse Hill - see what the deal is. Well, Herne Hill it is not. The Yelp app informed me there were three pubs in Tulse Hill. Walking past the first two, we were a little dismayed, we longed for our brewed-on-site ales The Florence. Why had we spurned Herne Hill? Silly boys. But then we were saved. The Railway Tavern, next to the station no less, with its arty sign and black paint job suggested it might just be ok! I peered through the window and saw young people, families and overly good-looking bar staff. Not a wasted trip after-all! Big fan of this pub. HUGE garden, which is actually mostly covered, an outside bar, ping pong table, pool table, and decent ale on tap too. From the number of 'reserved' signs being put out as we left, I'd suggest we aren't the only ones to know about this place. Definitely a 4-star pub, but it gets an extra one for apparently being the only decent pub in the area.

Lovely pub with nice atmosphere! I really like coming to this place when I don't have anything to do or if I'm planning to watch a football or rugby match. The staff is very nice, they have 2 terraces where you can have something to drink or eat and loads of TVs to watch the sports. They also have live music with indie bands who play during some weekends (but not all of them, check the schedule!). Food is also really good. They have some snacks like chicken nuggets, sweet fried potatoes and then hamburgers, meat or salads. You can also pop over during Sunday's because they have an amazing Sunday roast!

I like the Railway tavern for several reasons. I came here for Sunday lunch after the this and Tulse Hill Hotel were closed/ stopped serving food.... At 8.30pm on a Sunday. Their loss. Tavern is great for many reasons as you'll read in other reviews. Cool conservatory style outside seating little outside huts, table tennis. Nice bunch of people/regulars. We went on open mic night which was great and sitting outside in the conservatory (which sound cold but isn't!) meant it didn't really disturb us. The food was great, although a little on the Luke warm side which was a shame. The staff were great, funny and interactive. The only weird thing really was that one of the group members went up to the bar to order. They said its table service and wouldn't take the order. Well.... No one came to the table, until we had to call them and then they never really came back. I think they'd be better suited just sticking to the pub tradition of goof up to the bar to order. Seemed very bizarre to offer table service... But not really offer it properly.

Halfway through Saturday, my weekend plans took a sudden change in direction meaning I would soon, for the first time, be spending time in my other half's neck of the woods. He's generally modest to the point of self-sabotage but he was quite enthusiastic about us having Sunday brunch here. He proudly deemed it his local. So I knew it was going to be good. It's dark inside, black walls and dark floors. We found ourselves a corner with a table underneath the warm glow of some funfair-style lighting. The art on the walls is interesting and buyable (if you have a few hundred quid spare) but a nice change from the psuedo-arty music poster prints or graffiti art I'm used to seeing in pubs. Good sized brunch menu, the pricing was a little out of date but I can let that slide as it's clearly a well run independent with bags of character. Eggs benedict came out perfectly prepared, the hollandaise had enough edge to assure me it didn't come out of a packet. There's a huge outdoor area which apparently comes alive in summer with live music and games. Much of it is tented over at the moment, and well warmed by space heaters, lots of space for kids to run around without getting under your feet if you're trying to enjoy your meal in peace. Evidently a lot of attention has been paid to creating the best customer experience, no sily marketing gimmicks, dead-eyed corporate sponsorship or cheap tricks. It's a genuinely pleasant place to be on a Sunday afternoon, not too busy and not too quiet. Democratic enough to have the old man doing the crossword on the table across from us, a big table of lads behind us, and a big family gathering seated outside. Really looking forward to coming back here when the weather gets nicer so we can sit outdoors, make the most of the table tennis setup and enjoy some music!

Great beer garden, best pub in the area

Went for the first time on Friday and they were playing some great music - 2 fantastic DJs playing ska, skiffle and reggae. The volume was just right, loud enough to hear the music properly, but not so loud you couldn't have a conversation. Great atmosphere, comfortable too - will be going there regularly from now on.

I'll never fully understand why it took a full hour for my Sunday Roast to appear on my table before me, but the lovely staff and free apology dessert more than made up for it. Questionable music choices, though. Not sure anyone is ever in the mood for Etta James on a night out getting pissed, to be honest.

Nice girls but grumpy landlord shabby but good space food ok pub-grub decent altogether

Over the years, I've been here loads when visiting my friends in Tulse Hill. In the summer, the huge beer garden at the back is simply mega, and it's such a great shame everyone is ushered inside at 10pm to keep noise complaints to a minimum. It's ideal for a party though, and once inside it's open to about 2am at weekends. Inside, there is loads of room and some big sofas, benches, tables...and there's often a band and a DJ. There was even a Jive night one Friday when I was there and after a few drinks I thought I was Olivia Newton John Travolta all rolled into one. Luckily so did everyone else, I even got a snog! Midweek, there are often quiz nights which are fun and you can often find yourself joining in with strangers at the big tables, and making good friends for the night. They show football...beware or enjoy, whichever your take on that is! The food can be good, it is pub food but I have had good dishes here. Mostly standard lagers, a couple of bitters, bog standard wine, I'm recommending The Railway for atmosphere and entertainment I guess.

This place doesn't look like much from the outside - just your average pub, but step inside, go through all the way to the back and you'll realize it's so much more. Almost turns into a club at night on popular nights! Great place to hang out if you're in the area.
