Really an interesting little place, different with plenty of atmosphere. lots of world beers. Think i over-did them as this led to a hangover! I didnt even notice if they have beer on draught. 7/10

The only decent place for those escaping upturned collars, chavs and gold digging bints.
Needs better cider choices than the typical Slagners tho.
I was welcomed and I return because of it
If you wear shoes, please dont bother

Continues to offer excellent bottled lagers from around the world. However no sign of Grumpy old men bitter... which is a good sign
|
Loved it. Very different to the normal pub in the UK. Had a great selection of drinks....cocktails, foreign beers, shorts....you name it. Apparently they have live bands but we left too early. Music a bit loud to have a decent conversation but otherwise....
Great staff.
Great fun.

Great unpretentious bar. Music policy is just about the best of any place in London. A bar that plays rock & indie such a rare and precious commodity these days. Not only the best choice in Clapham Junction, but for much of south London.
|
Great place, cool staff and fantastic beers. Cannot recommend this place enough - especially when compared to some of the other bars in the area...now if only they finished at 2am....
|
Well i guess it depends on what beer you buy , if its a beer imported from say new zealand then thats what you have to pay if you wanted a cheaper beer then they are there for example san miguel £ 2.90
having frequented this bar a fair amount , when you go to any other bar certainly in clapham you realise how much they really suck
|
Its different and certainly comes across as more interesting than some other places in the area. There are many unique beers to try here, however the penalty is the cost. £6.50 for 2 bottles seems extreme
|
Probably the only cool place to drink in clapham junction.
|
Loud and very orange
|
Top drawer. I always go in there even if its for one when I am in the area!
|
How good is this little venue....Awesome.
This is a true music lovers venue although gigs are now held once a month, due to local residence, the quality is fantastic, The promoter, Mark, is a guy that is passionate about music and cares for the bands and artists that perform there. We came down from the Midlands to play this venue and the welcome and atmophere was brilliant, we could'nt have asked for more, although a smallish bar, it puts many a big venue to shame.
Great people, Excellent beer, fantastic staff and customers. VERY HIGHLY RECOMENDED
|
OK no hand-pulled real ales, but some excellent bottles. Particularly if you like 'new world' pale ales [little creatures etc]. But not cheap.
Music is pretty good too.
Though I'm more into my boozers, this bar is pretty good
|
Easily the best drinking place in the Clapham Junction area. It has an indie feel to it (indie music being played) and a range of beers. The only place I've ever seen Coopers in the UK. Downstairs couches are good on a weeknight for a quiet one. And now open till 1 am on weekends!
|
A fine place. Beers from all over the place to be had here and cocktails as well, if you like your drinks then come here. Definitely an orange seem, an unusual kind of bar but better than most
|
If you don't like bars that much, going here will change your view of them. You think they all sell Stella and fuck-all-else, and play cheesy music, and then you find a bar that sells beers from across the world and plays decent rock music. The only thing that stops me from rating it 10/10 is that the beers are a tad expensive. If it weren't for that it would be perfect.

I went to a gig night on the insistance of one of my friends. It definately convinced me to go back! The staff are cool and look like they've been hand picked from a catalogue to accomadate all groups (indie, punk, goth, house ect) and the drinks are really good if not a bit expensive. But i'll pay more just to hear good music and have a good time in a funky atmosphere! Well recomended!
|
Trendy rock themed bar. A bit dark maybe, but they served a very reasonable array of fancy drinks, including Belgian and Czech beers. But you're not supposed to go here for the drinks...you're supposed to go for the atmosphere. The atmosphere was OKish.
|
I ALWAYS think this place is shut!!! They must do ok cos they've been around for a while. I like it inside it's a good place, but cos its so dark I wouldn't EVER think of it or go there. It just doesnt look inspiring. All good inside though, booze, screen, staff, tables et. BUT ropey watery mixers! STUDENT/UNI VIBE.
|
Correction: Opening indie night on July 1st, every Saturday afterwards - get involved!
|
I love this place, it has a cool vibe and some great beer (staropramen..end of story). It is a good size, not too big, not too small, creating a nice atmosphere. Fridays are looking good as well with a new indie night starting on the 1st July, on both floors
|
Not bad at all. Quite dark and the projector screen often has some fairly odd anime stuff on it, but the music's cool and the beer (Staropramen, as well as some quirky looking fruity stuff) is good. Sort of stand up shouty upstairs (get's busy and loud on weekends) and more chilled downstairs. If you're in/around the Junction, probably your best bet for a session.
|
Generally considered an "alternative" pub/bar
Has a decent size room downstairs to hire.
