Like all good local pubs, the East Dulwich Tavern varies greatly depending on when you visit. On a week night you might wander into a film club or a quiz; at prime-time it’s standing room only as packs of pals knock back bottles of local craft beer; weekends are all about board games and grub in the airy, sky-lit main room. Crucially, it caters to all these needs without alienating anyone, and its upcycled aesthetic and well-priced, accessible menu add to the impression that everyone’s welcome to use the pub’s considerable space as they see fit – even if that’s just getting quietly sloshed in the corner.

Time Out says
Spread across a large open bar and seating area, stunning restaurant and outdoor area, the EDT is a lively local’s local perfect for every social occasion. We love our regulars who have been coming in to prop up the bar since 99’. We love the Dulwich Hamlet fans who fill the pub with a sea of pink and blue on home games. We love hosting a newlyweds’ first dance surrounded by smiling faces.
We pride ourselves in our beer, with ten hand pumps serving real ale from local breweries earning us a spot in the Camra Good Beer Guide 2022. With 15 draught beers on tap and many more in the fridges we can cater to even the pickiest drinkers. If you’re after a spot of food, you’ll be well looked after in that department too. Open seven days a week, our kitchen serves modern British pub as well as homemade bar snacks and pastries throughout the week. On Sundays, we serve traditional roasts, including two veggie options for the non-meat eaters.
Hidden away upstairs at the EDT, one finds The Lodge, a charming venue with a quirky interior overlooking Lordship Lane and Goose Green. The Lodge is a venue that really needs to be seen as it’s full of quirky, clever ideas and special little extras that leaves this room in high demand for wedding receptions, christenings and birthday parties. The creative and very experienced staff have managed literally hundreds of events in The Lodge and will pull out all the stops to ensure that yours runs like clockwork.
