THE ROEBUCK
The Roebuck has long been described as the Oval’s ‘hidden gem’. Tucked away only 200 steps from the Oval Cricket Ground, it’s a conservatory to capture the best of London’s sunshine, hosting a range of cask ales, premium lagers, fine wines and an array of top brand spirits. Plus every Thursday you can catch the Pub Quiz from 8pm with no restriction on team size and entry £1 per person. Lots of prizes to be won, including a cash jackpot, drinks and food.

KU BAR
There’s nothing like watching two teams of muscular men fighting over a ball, say the Ku Bar team, and this weekend you can catch the entire Six Nations Tournament in glorious high-definition vision and sound! With cocktail and bubbly on offer at the gorgeous Lisle Street venue, you can enjoy the rugby in style, or with a pint!

BACK COUNTER
BackCOUNTER is inspired by New york’s vibrant, edgy and slightly naughty Hell’s Kitchen district, a separate dining and entertainment area open from Thursday to Sunday with its own bar and seats for up to 75 guests. A full range of food, wines, cocktails, craft beers and other drinks are served, it has its own entrance plus it’s only minutes walks from many of Vauxhall’s renowned gay and mixed nightlife venues. Dubbed Deco meets Disco, the look and ambiance are a trend-setting take on glamour…
