Irish theme pub

Standard format and décor for an O'Neill's Irish theme pub and surprising large given the limited frontage space. There are galleries at each end, with the front gallery usually being reserved for private functions. Single long bar with raised area at the back (for live music), and where wood predominates throughout with dim lighting. There are several large TV screens showing sports along with loud background music. Beer is restricted to standard lager offerings plus Guinness.

Previously, an overspill sorting office for the nearby Post Office before being converted into a pub by Firkin Breweries in 1997. This changed to being an O'Neill's in 2001.

As at early 2024, real ale had not been available for sometime but had previously served Sharp's Doom Bar as from 2013. Marked as "Real Ale is NOT Available" on 28th March 2024, despite the presence of two unused handpumps.

Historic Interest

Originally a music hall built in 1872 as Bromley's first entertainment venue, this was opened with a concert by Sir Arthur Sullivan. It later became a drill hall and gymnasium for the 18th Kent Volunteer Rifles (later F Company 3rd Kent Rifle Volunteers), called the Drill Hall. This was rebuilt 1889-1890 and used to hold occasional dances and balls for the enlisted men (it is rumoured that an abandoned shooting range is located under the floorboards). After becoming an HQ for the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Queen's Own West Kent Regiment in 1883, this progressed to become an HQ for The Queen's Own (West Kent Regiment) and served as an Army Recruitment office in 1914. The Drill Hall was also used for town celebrations until 1947, whereupon it was decommissioned. The building was later purchased by the Royal Mail for use as an ancillary sorting office.
