For anyone who doesn't know, this is a music venue of the highest order, so it gets packed to the rafters in the evenings. Be warned, stranger, it's not the place to go for a quiet pint.
Trying to get served when there's a gig on is a bit of a scrum - but the atmosphere is worth it.

The Half Moon! What a boozer! What a lot of history! Anybody who's anybody has sung live here! I sang here in the wc once! Didn't get asked back though! If you're ever whizzing thru' Putney/Barnes area, checkout this musically historic milestone of a pub!!! (And can i seriously recommend "Emile's" restaurant nearby, in Felsham Road, for a splendid meal aforehand) !! TJ

This is my local and I normally pop in at least once a week.

As others have noted the refurb is not too bad, although it's a shame they got rid of the long table in the corner and I'm not sure about the raised platform bit by the windows.
I normally love this pub but a couple of things have concerned me of late.
Firstly, I don't know what has happened to the majority of the usual bar staff but their replacements, mostly, are pretty shocking.
Lack of noticing who has been waiting at the bar longest, no friendliness of any description when taking your order and paying for the drinks.
One of them kept the small amount of change I was due back, when I asked her for it, she seemed put out that I would want change at all.

It may be that I have just been really unlucky the last few times I have been served, time will tell.

I do like this boozer, I really do, but something seems to have gone a bit wrong with some of the new bar staff, they just don't seem to care, which is a shame, as they always used to.

One last point - serving Staropramen now is great. £3.80 a pint is borderline theft.

Well, the toilets are working now. They were a necessary change. Some of the other changes were not.

It is clear that the Half Moon management have fought hard to stop Youngs/Wells vandalising this pub in the same way they have to so many others in the area. There is still too much of that mauve/grey paint for my liking and they have removed the old long tables.

The pub has lost a little bit of atmosphere, but this is still an excellent pub with great beer and staff. Thank God the Half Moon has not gone the way of the Horse, the Duke's Head, the Halfway House and the Duke of Cumberland [where the nightmare began].
