Pretty good bar. Never overly busy and and, generally, a good crowd. Although I don't venture in there too often I ate there a few weeks ago and was very satisfied with the food, which is a break from the norm. The drinks prices are, perhaps, slightly more than what they should be but certainly not the most expensive in Balham.

A rude barman ruined our night in there - we had bought 2/3 rounds of drinks and he proceeded to be antagonistic and rude and kept the door open on a night it was snowing ... would not go again and would recommend you don't... while he works there.

Agree about the awful wine, I complained it and was given an equally horrible glass of wine.

A shame it has the potential to be nice and the bar staff are friendly.

Standard depository for the Balham glitterati... Good cocktail mixing skills by staff but lacks soul. At least you can sit outside though and look at Irene House (the dole office).

Has this got new owners? Used to be great but had two of the most expensive and frankly horrible glasses of vino I've had anywhere, ever (white and the rose were as awful as the other, and at £6 a glass....).

Over-priced is an understatement - obviously why it was all but empty on a sunny Friday evening.

What a shame!
