Latymer's
157 Hammersmith Road, Hammersmith, W6
Tel: 020 8741 2507
Latymer's is a fairly modern Fullers pub that seems to strike the right balance between friendly beer related tomfoolery and serious TV based sport action. There's a bit of an Irish connection going on too.
The Hammersmith Ram
81 King Street, Hammersmith, W6
Tel: 020 8748 4511
www.thehammersmithram.com
The Hammersmith Ram is in the middle of the busy shopping street, King Street. However, it does offer a decent array of Youngs beers, it has a small back garden and there's a live blues session every Tuesday night, so it can't be all bad.
Dartmouth Castle
26 Glenthorne Road, London, W6 0LS
Tel: 020 8748 3614
www.thedartmouthcastle.co.uk
Run by the same award winning team as the Atlas in Fulham, the Dartmouth Castle prides itself on beng a pub first and foremost, but it also has a great menu to go along with the wide range of beer and wine.
