Finally paid a visit to this hidden gem down the back roads of Stockwell. Leased by @affinitybrewco from the same owners as excellent @prioryarms83, it's an unreal pub with so much to offer. Once I'd come to grips with the fact I'd been pronouncing it wrong on account of my typo and subsequent autocorrect constantly putting it as Gros-nover, the Grove-nuh felt like a pub from yesteryear but with modern twists. The tayto crisp selection mashed with the 15 different taps of craft beer, the retro arcade machines alongside the pool table that accepts card payments (a separate debate was had about how you "claim" a next game if no coins are used - will any coin do? Do you put your debit card down? - a board with the rules now up apparently!), a brewery in house which allows pints to be sold sub-£5, and sports on the screen but not exclusively football. It's got a bit of everything, and you wouldn't expect it. The Google reviews are less than favourable if you go back beyond the takeover a few years ago, and when I suggested we head here it was met with restrained enthusiasm. Walking in the door, a bit of back and forth with the barman, and the guys I was with felt right at home. It had personality, it had space, and it had choice. If you come out of here and take a short stroll back down the incredible structure of Stockwell Bus Station, you can tag-team this with a Priory Arms visit too. A lovely little excursion all in all, and London Black by @anspachhobday was the standout, again. Impeccable pour, the glassware makes you feel important. Love it.
