The Rusty Bucket Pub

Quirky, cute and cozy pub. It's got an eclectic vibe about it and there's even one of those table arcade games with Galaxian, though the 1P joy stick has seen better days! Really wide selection of craft beers available. Very dog friendly. It kind of blends the traditional pub (no music so you can actually chat!) with some modern touches and therefore attracts the respective clientele. There's sometimes even a taco stand outside during the day!

A lot of rare beer and ciders. Local atmosphere. Nice place. Worth to visit.

Real gem of a pub. Great craft beer offering, lots of event nights and tap takeovers. They clearly know their stuff.

If you're in the area take a walk/bus down to Eltham Beer & Wine too. Unassuming from the outside but an incredible selection of craft beers.

Finally got here and so pleased we did. Initial impression of cosy is spot on, as the place just sort of hugs you with its layout. Super friendly staff who know (and taste) their beers. We had the milk stout and cola cube sour, eclectic mix which went well with the cheese selection board. The stout was more choccy with cheddar, but more coffee with the soft cheese. NEIPA & porter were next and all beers were well kept and served in lovely glasses (very Belgian). Worth a trip to as it's a great little community pub with a really good selection of beers.

A vast and very interesting selection of beers. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. They do a bunch of cool events too. I'm looking forward to going to quiz night.

Can't rate this local highly enough. Stuart is a very friendly presence and the overall vibe is incredibly warm and accommodating to people of all ages and sport preferences (and dogs). Beer selection is fantastic with a great takeaway service. Small menu of bar food, but very satisfying. Will keep going back!

You could easily miss this place which is a pity as it deserves a visit. I tried the hot mulled wine which was good, and
The young lady serving was pleasant and chatty.
It has a retro feel about it with its bare wooden bench tables. There are snacks to be had but no cooked meals.

Great addition to Eltham. Amazing selection of beers on keg, cask and cans. Staff are friendly and happy to advise and provide samples. Updated: 3 years later and it's still the best craft beer pub around here with the great addition of a vintage Galaxian arcade table 🙂
