The Hit or Miss is a micropub on Chatterton Road in Bromley Common, opened in October 2022 in a former computer repair shop and run as a cafe by day and a bar by night. CAMRA describes it as "a fusion of both bar and cafe, this is very community focussed with a diverse clientele" - bold modern decor, David Bowie tributes on the walls, local artwork for sale and high cushioned seating around shared tables.
### Live music
Wednesdays alternate between a charity quiz and an open mic night hosted by Stretch, and there is live music on Saturday evenings from local acts. CAMRA's listing sums the programme up as "Open mic nights, quiz evenings, art classes". A PA is provided for performers; it is a small room, so this is an acoustic-leaning night rather than a full-band stage.
### Drinks and food
Cask ale is served from a cold room alongside seven keg lines and a cider selection. By day it sells locally roasted coffee and pastries.
### Practical
6 Chatterton Road, Bromley Common, BR2 9QN. Family friendly, dog friendly, free Wi-Fi, outdoor smoking area, step-free entry via a ramp (no accessible toilet).
