I go there on Wednesdays for The Superglad music which is excellent. Live gigs featuring blues soul jazz bluegrass all from professional musicians. The pub is roomy and the staff are pleasant. They do pub grub too- pies mainly.
An awesome new space with good food, even better beer and a pub quiz that will leave you scratching your head!

🍺 £6.20 Utopian Lager
❤️ An engaging on point pub.
.
The Spit & Sawdust is located on a quiet side street not far from the Bricklayer’s Arms roundabout at the top of Old Kent Road. The nearest Tube is Elephant & Castle, it’s about a ten minute walk to get here.
.
This pub was originally built in 1869 as The Beehive. During WII it was hit twice in separate air raids sadly killing eight people, it was rebuilt in its current guise just after the war. This pub closed it’s doors in 2014 and was thankfully resurrected in 2016 under new management and changed its name to the Spit & Sawdust.
.
The decor here is contemporary and combines the old and the new very well. The seating is a mix of comfy chesterfield sofas, winged chairs and stools around poser tables. At the centre of the bar is a stylish servery which is clad in timber and has a cool set up for their keg taps. The are TV’s showing live sport dotted around the bar and a shuffleboard table which is a good addition to any pub. There is a rooftop terrace to hangout In the warmer months and an ingenious designed beer garden that makes great use of the outside space.
.
The beer lineup was impressive, lots of local London breweries are represented here across the 19 taps to choose from. I thought I’d try out the Utopian Lager which hails from Devon, not my usual type of tipple but nice enough all the same. The food menu is Mexican, there is a good selection of Tacos, Quesadillas and Churros if you fancy a bit of tucker.
.
I visited around 4pm on a Saturday and there was a buzzy but laid back atmosphere, if that makes sense. There was a trendy crowd in attendance with limited moustache’s on show. There is a very cool vibe here, it was easy to settle in and enjoy the surroundings. To keep you entertained, there is a pub quiz on a Tuesday and a Disco on a Saturday.
.
The @spit_n_sawdust ticked a lot of boxes for me. The beer choice was diverse and local, the environment welcoming and relaxed.There is also plenty to keep you entertained to make a day/night of it. Hats off, great set up. 🍻

Great place. There is seating inside and out. Pet friendly as well.
The tacos were delicious and the cocktails were great. This place is a hidden gem with a good vibe and decent service
Great place for some live music and craft beer. Cool little outdoor area out back. Prices are a little punchy but otherwise good

I would have never expected a hidden pub in elephant and castle to have such good Mexican food. But it was a pleasant surprise. Worth coming for that and the happy hour.
I loved this pub! The £2.50 tacos are an amazing deal, and the tacos are actually pretty good. It's got a nice vibe inside.
Had a friend's 30th in the upstairs bar. Highly recommend the staff were really friendly, helpful and accommodating with the request!
Plenty of space and a great range of drinks!
Always a cool atmosphere and revolving selection of craft beers! Staff are friendly and happy to make recommendations. Main shout out goes to the free to play shuffleboard, retro video games and board games!!
We sat outdoors which is a nice setup and good use of the space with bunkbed style tables. However the ends of the patio area are uncovered, so the furniture there is damaged from the rain and unsafe.
We went for Taco Wednesday and the tacos were really tasty, but they couldn't keep up with the volume of orders, so shut the kitchen at 7pm.
£2.50 taco’s were delish. Friend who has been regularly says it depends on the chef but I thoroughly enjoyed. Nice vibe, would return!
