O'Neill's, Blackheath

Located on the wide high pavement side of Tranquil Vale. Originally the Three Tuns and the hanging sign outside showed that dedication until a 2017 refurbishment, although the pictorial of three tuns remains on the pub's hanging sign. Was in the first CAMRA 1974 Good Beer Guide then selling Charrington IPA. The description in that guide said "Loads of character, though not of a sort which is to everyone's taste. Unlimited noise." Not much change there! Often very busy and employs security door staff at times. Furnished with a mixture of tables and chairs and padded bench seats. Long bar counter along the right hand side wall has 1 handpump facing the entrance door. Small courtyard rear garden. Bar is bare floor-boarded throughout with a raised carpeted area to the rear. Regular live music. Refurbished during a period of closure in November 2017 during which the number of handpumps was reduced from three to just one which by summer 2021 seemed not to be used.
