normally an ok venue with good pizza's and an ok selection of beers and wine. I strongly advise you to steer well clear on a friday evening. They have an unbelievably rubbish dorman who is working to his own agenda. Rude and abusive to people he does not know and his mates getaway with murder. If the manager thinks that having staff like that is in anyway helpfull to his business then he must think again. Also the toilets where the most disgusting i have ever seen. Very similar to scene in trainspotting. I will be avoiding this pub like the plague... A real shame for the people behind this pub as it used to be so much better .

Love this place for a day drink or two. They serve fantastic Weston's cider which resembles a cider slush puppy which is great for warm days. Pizzas are good. Roasts are bad. Tried a couple of weekend nights in here and the music was so loud I had to leave. I'm not old, I just like to be able to hear myself, my friends and the barman as I'm ordering, speak.

Having moved to Streatham recently I thought I'd found a diamond in the rought with the Waterfront. But despite tickign a few boxes I have had my opinion of the place spoiled by their door staff. Having witnessed a fight go unchecked with no security in sight on my first visit, we were then subjected to an unwarranted and rude warning to be quiet on the next visit. While having a quiet drink with close friends in a bar playing loud music on a Saturday night. The night was totally spoiled and I still have received no reply to my complaint. I won't be going back, its a shame the two times I have been there have both been marred by the door staff, either in their absence or in their heavy handed, over the top behaviour.

Its a shame as otherwise it had many good points. I just refuse to be harassed by a domineering thug in a bomber jacket.

i think this manager has been removed. Normal service resumes.

On Mothers day, I took 2 friends from Leeds to dinner here as I had always had a great night out and good meals before.
I know it was mothering Sunday but we arrived after the rush at around 7pm and ordered our drinks at the bar, 10 mins later ordered our food.
After waiting 30mins I asked a very sweet member of staff where our food was and she checked for us and advised us that it would be 5 mins.
We waited another 20 mins and ordered more drinks and asked again, same response with an apology.
After waiting another 30mins I went to the bar and told the same girl we really weren't happy as people who had arrived after us had had their Pizza's and we were only having Salads. She apologised again and checked in the kitchen, told us they had a backlog due to the lunch time rush yet others after us had had their meals.
After waiting an hour and a half we finally got our food and it was beautiful.
Not happy with the wait but the end result was lovely, the manager on that evening (anthony) came over and offered us complimentary drinks but by this time we were tiered, pretty drunk (waiting) and very bored of waiting so we left.
Normally the Waterfront is brilliant, food great, staff wonderful and music fantastic but this has put me off. Other managers would have been over after 30mins to apologise instead of waiting till we finished eating. Shame!
