Ninth Life 2019

Above Google image, June 2019.

 

The "Black Horse and Harrow" closed in 2018 and after renovations and a rather weird paint job, it opened again as the "Ninth Life."

Not quite sure what you would describe this venue as, but seems to be a cross between a theatre, night-club, pub, and restaurant, and caters for all the family.

Has included parties for Neon Naked Life Drawings, Break-dancing Acts, Kids Clubs, Karoke nights, Sing-along for under 5's, Various DJ's, Seasonal Games, and The Viewing, an Immersive Experience, which I believe is something similar to The Crystal Maze, described as "Lasting 60+ minutes you and your friends will travel through 9 different rooms encountering puzzles, prizes, challenges, a whole host of characters, free drinks and 5-star fun!

Ninth Life in Catford sees historic pub reopen with a food market and escape room experience.

In a nutshell: Catford pub gets a 21st century makeover.

Summing it all up: The historic "Black Horse and Harrow" pub is being renamed "Ninth Life" as it reopens under The Laine Pub Company with a street food market and upstairs escape room experience.

A Victorian pub in south east London is being given a very 21st century makeover. The "Black Horse and Harrow" pub in Catford is the area's oldest hostelry (there's been an inn on this site since the 1700s). It's been bought by Brighton-based brewery The Laine Pub Company and reopens this week as "Ninth Life" – a pub with its own food market and immersive theatre experience.

If you're after a quiet night of darts and beer, this may not be the venue for you as they're promising DJ nights, drag queen bingo and live music.

The top parts of the pub are going to become an Escape Room with an evolving theme. First up is ‘The Viewing’ - where participants are met by ‘Estate Agents’ to undertake a flat viewing which then takes "an unexpected and otherworldly turn".

For food, they'll be serving up dishes from the pub kitchen and also from the independent food vendors in the pub's food market run by Street Food Union who are responsible for Soho's Rupert Street Market. There'll be seasonal daily specials, locally sourced beers (including Laine beer, Brockley Brewery and Village Brewery) and on Sundays you can expect a massive roast lunch.
