| Superb, small pub in a quiet location an inconveniently long, steeply uphill walk from Clapham Junction. The pub is, in many respects, a country pub transplanted to south west London. Cheerful, friendly staff and a slightly rustic decor create a delightful, cosy atmosphere. Chairs, as I frequently remark, are often overlooked, and here they are deep, cushioned and comfy. This is a Fullers house, with Pride, ESB and Elsie Mo on tap at the time of my visit. I enjoyed a smooth, well-kept pint of the latter, perhaps the cause of some bias as this is a favourite ale of mine at present. Televisions are strategically positioned throughout the bar for sky sports. Some lovely old pictures on the walls and a classic 1950s jukebox. A fine hidden treasure, worth an effort as it's the sort of place to stay for a while. As close to a quiet countryside village pub as I've seen in a while in London. Great place, can only mark it down on beer choice. 8/10 GibTom - 2 Aug 2011 17:03 |
| Last post wildly misses the point. In an area dominated by huge, modern factory 'pubs' and run-down locals that confuse grubbiness with 'character', the Beehive is a beacon of what a true local is; comfortable for locals, welcoming of strangers, good beer served well. I had a cracking Saturday night here a couple of weeks ago with good mates, good talk, great beer, excellent tunes and marvellous hospitality from Rick, Sue and 'Bouncer' (not a real bouncer). Just the sort of pub worthy of support. arwilliams1947 - 13 Nov 2010 12:44 |
| Boring - all in one square shaped room, bar feels like a counter that was just plonked down in the middle of the room. Crap richakn - 24 Jun 2010 21:11 |
| Called in early Sat 27th before Wandsworth Beer Festival, very nice pint of Fullers Swing Low boroboy23 - 29 Mar 2010 17:47 |
| I was disappointed by this. 4 pumps on, but only Pride and ESB being dispensed, two from each. Judging by the below comments, this is a regular arrangement, and it is baffling considering the array of pump clips they have arranged around the back bar which indicates at a wide range of previous guests. This is a small, one-room pub that was fairly empty on a saturday early evening with the Arsenal on. As a fullers fan I don't mind it, but it certainly isn't memorable or noteworthy in any way, ChrisP87 - 3 Oct 2009 11:14 |
