| It's still escaped Youngs' determination to ruin all their once great pubs, and turn them into soulless eateries. The Nightingale's still a real pub - and has been said before, a damn fine one too. earlydrinker - 2 Oct 2011 19:30 |
| Made my firts visit to The Nightingale last night and it lived up to everything that it claimed to be. A very nice pub, good old fashioned, typical English pub interior and a lovely beer garden at the back. Two excellent dart boards, one inside by the entrance and one out at the back. The bar staff were very friendly giving service with a smile (makes such a difference) whilst they had a good selection of beers and excellent brand of port scratchings. It is just a 7 minute walk to Clapham South tube. The pub has an average quiz machine and it did have an outside TV but was not turned on so I am sure if they show sports, however they were advertising the Rugby World Cup. I for one will definetely be going back and feel this is probably the best pub in Clapham South area.... gumbo - 14 Sep 2011 16:47 |
| Very good. There are a few nice little touches like board games, wireless internet, a good baby changing room, and so on but the best things about this place are very simple - it's cosy, friendly, just all-round very pleasant really... TFP - 9 May 2011 19:06 |
| Very friendly, quiet and clean ! And they're dog friendly too which is always good! I had a good time after a long walk at the Common. No screaming kids, no annoying punters! Loved it! GVF - 22 Feb 2011 12:22 |
| I and a few colleagues have just started using this pub after work. It is a spit and sawdust gaffe that has character. We started using it as we heard that there was a dart board. Sure enough there is a dartboard and you can see why it needs replacing. We get in there at about 3pm and by 4pm onwards all the locals are in and want to use it as well. Frustrating from a selfish point of view that we have to share it but because of this we have mingled with the locals who have generally been quite friendly although I think it will take quite a few more visits before they trust us!! Lager is good with Fosters and Heinneken. Obviously real ales for those that want it and Guinness as well (I personally found it a little warm and have reverted to lager as a result). It is not a cheap pub (£15.90 for 4 pints) but overall I will continue to visit. If anyone from the pub reads this....please replace the dart board. It looks like it has been up there for about 10 years. They are only £30 for a top quality board. Plod666 - 18 Jan 2011 15:50 |
