As a newcomer to surbiton.com, I'm sure I'm reopening a perennial topic, but what amazes me, is the lack of good local pubs.

I live on Cleaveland Road and love that there are some great bars around, but no great pubs!
Rubicon does great cocktails, and the Gordon Bennett has got a good formula.

But when I fancy a nice after work pint, I'm left with not much choice - The Grove and the Victoria are the only places that seem to approach a good pub atmosphere (although the Lamb is fun, if a bit small and strange).

Anyone found a hidden gem that I've missed?
