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.
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.

A vodka cocktail bar, restaurant and party venue acquired from Wetherspoon by Revolution Bars and reopened in December 2017 after three months' closure. Originally an hotel erected opposite Putney station in 1889, the Railway was a comfortable Wetherspoon's corner pub with bars on the ground and first floors connected by two staircases and latterly showcasing locally brewed beers. There were 'intimate' booths downstairs and the walls were adorned with old photographs and local history information panels. The ornate exterior featured illuminated figurines. It had been Drummonds between 1986 to 1993.
Spencer
237 Lower Richmond Road, Putney SW15 1HJ
Bought by small multiple operator Gareth Lloyd Jones in early 2012 and name shortened from Spencer Arms. A sister pub to the Althorp, SW17 and the Canonbury, N1. Originally the Spencer Arms Hotel and a stage stop at the edge of Putney Common, now an award winning dining pub, tastefully refurbished and attracting a smart, young clientele. Overlooking the common, one side is restaurant-style; the other is a comfortable lounge with sofas. The TV is often silent; there is quiet background music and occasionally a jazz or blues singer. Renamed Putney Page from 2002 to 2005 under previous ownership. Bus 22 from Piccadilly Circus terminates here.
Spotted Horse (Ye Olde)
122 Putney High Street, Putney SW15 1RG
Originally dating from the 18th century, this pub was substantially remodelled in the Edwardian period, its most distinctive feature being the wooden piebald horse over the entrance. Following refurbishment in 2000 with the bar now along the side and a dining area with open kitchen at the rear, the interior is modern and cavernous with plenty of seating. The pub is busy when big football or rugby matches are shown on TV.
