| Be a bit adventurous and don't judge a book by its cover, this place is unique. Sure, the Wheatsheaf is not some fancy overpriced wine bar and yes it does seem to attract a variety of rough looking punters from time to time. Nobody's perfect! However, you can have a brilliant craic in this place. When there's entertainment on this could be a 24 hour venue - I've never been told it's time to leave! And I assure you that you have not lived until you've been to a Black Elvis gig. He's on about every 5 weeks and is fantastic - yes a black Elvis impersonator! Old men in trilbies dance with young girls on the lash, big mommas rock with Springfields outpatients, Limerick men down the Guinness on the sidelines. Forget your preconceptions and enjoy the best night out in the area! There are even now tables on the pavement outside - the cafe society reaches the Bec at last. butterball - 30 Jul 2008 11:36 |
| What a shithole this place is. I won't be going back. Such a great location yet such a letdown. Typical train station pub, no atmosphere, no camaraderie, no attempt at making me feel welcome. Wish i'd never gone in. andygillett1 - 1 Jul 2008 21:41 |
| Another Wheatsheaf classic on Wednesday last week Most of us were trying to watch the Man U v Baarcelona game but never ...oh no... never let that get in the way of karaoke Assorted pissheads got up on stage but the evening was capped off by one of the barmen doing a turn. A bit of heckling from one of the aforementioned pissheads and lo and behold you have the classic chav brawl/ shoving match. Most normal readers will now see why this place is a bit of an issue murgatroyd - 27 Apr 2008 22:37 |
| It would be a good pub if your a regular however if your not the welcome is not so warm. I've gone in a few times mainly to watch sport and I've generally received a lukish warm welcome. However whilst I was in there once a girl who came in and sat at a table was told to buy something or get out when she explained she was waiting for someone she was given a 10 minute time limit for them to turn up or she would be chucked out. The guy did turn up and they left straight away. This place will either survive unchanged for decades on the strength of it's large regular crowd or will be bought out within the year and turned into a gastro pub as that's the way Tooting Bec seems to be creeping towards theoneandonlyjoe - 17 Apr 2008 13:28 |
| I've been here once. I lasted a little over 10 seconds before I made for the door. Would still be going in a post-apocalyptic winter because most of the occupants / staff wouldn't let a little thing like radiation poisoning come between them and their pint... It's a class thing. They don't have any. Dr_Will - 27 Nov 2007 15:53 |
