Skehans

You'll find Skehans tucked away on Kitto Road in Deptford—the sort of pub that doesn't need to shout about itself because the regulars already know what's good. It's got that genuine Irish atmosphere without any of the theme-park nonsense: dark wood, a proper bar, and staff who actually know how to pour a pint. The crowd is properly mixed—locals nursing their drinks, mates catching up, and people who've travelled across London specifically because this is where you come for the real thing. Food is straightforward and honest, and the drinks list leans into Irish whiskey and draught beer done right.
