Arab Boy

289 Upper Richmond Road, Putney SW15 6SP

Built in 1849, this pub was bequeathed by its builder, Henry Scarth, to Yussef Sirric, the Arab servant he had brought back from Turkey. A friendly, cosy, low ceilinged community pub with a piano at the back, with unobtrusive background music and TV sports, busy for big matches but quiet at other times. Small back patio. Originally a Watney pub, it was run by the Magic Pub Co briefly before Greene King took over in 1996. Taken over from Greene King since March 2016 by the owners of the Market Porter SE1 and the Wooden Hand Brewery in Truro.

Lost Society

160-162 Putney High Street, Putney SW15 1RS

Renamed in 2013, this pub was refurbished in 2010 as Citizen Smith, with assistance from Sharp's and reopened under its new name by the owners of the Lost Society, SW8 and the Lost Angel, SW11. A 'Drinkery and Eating House' but principally a cocktail bar. Handpumps were removed by September 2015.

Boathouse

Brewhouse Lane, Putney SW15 2JX

Reopened on 14 February 2020 having closed on 5 January 2020 for extensive refurbishment. This description will be updated as soon as possible. Opened 2004 on newly accessible stretch of the riverside to the east of Putney Bridge and replacing the Castle, demolished the previous year. The Boathouse occupies three floors in the historic red brick Isherwood Building (once a vinegar brewery), complete with a cupola and clock and with a glass fronted extension overlooking the river. A vibrant bar/restaurant attracting a young clientele sadly preferring Magners and the heavily promoted keg lagers and bottled beers despite the efforts of keen young managers to improve draught beer sales. Big screens for rugby and cricket.

Bricklayer's Arms

32 Waterman Street, Putney SW15 1DD

Dating from as early as 1826, this cosy, family-owned, community local reopened in 2005 after some time in purely domestic use by the local hero whose purchase previously saved it from redevelopment. For a time it was the only pub in London to serve the full range of Timothy Taylor beers, with several locally brewed ales, often Twickenham, also rotating, and for several years it ran regional beer festivals and won local CAMRA and other awards. Following closure with the 2020 lockdown, substantial building alterations, planned over several years have been successfully completed, improving the interior, providing new toilets and a new, enclosed patio and altogether preserving the pub. Apparently the cats still have the run of the roof.
