The Dog & Bell

Where To Drink The Best Pints Of Guinness In London

"The One That Also Has Murphy’s On Tap A postbox-red paint job lets you know you’ve arrived at The Dog & Bell—a Deptford pub that’s all stained glass windows casting shadows, regulars propping up the bar, and little lamps illuminating corner seats with log piles resting on them. Wednesdays are for trad sessions and parties that spill out into the fairy light-lit front garden, but really every night here feels like being wrapped up in a cosy aran knit." - sinead cranna

The 16 Best Pubs In London (For Every Situation)

"For A Night Of Fiddles & Flutes A flute-whistling, harmonica-tooting, according-swaying Wednesday night pick-me-up of the most knee-jigging variety, The Dog & Bell’s trad nights are a weekly joy. The Deptford local has a bustling, time capsule feel to it, with dogs around the bar, grizzled locals wordlessly sinking Guinnesses, and SE8 fine art undergrads lighting up in the pavement seating area until kingdom come." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna

The Dog & Bell - Review - Deptford - London - The Infatuation

"Some of Deptford’s newer and glossier eating and drinking establishments run on an evening-only Wednesday to Saturday schedule. So it’s worth knowing about a pub for a pint or two if you’re waiting around. Or rather, it’s just worth knowing about a great pub full stop. The Dog & Bell is certainly that. Maroon, carpeted, and with a group of cheery maroon-cheeked locals who may or may not be strangers to a kip on the carpet - this is a 10/10 temple of drinking. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Jake Missing

Just a really good pub
