It hasn't closed down. I went in here last Saturday because now that the Duke of Devonshire has been ruined, it is the only place in Balham not full of utter twats. It's great. Don't come here. I want it for myself.

Not a bar at all. This is a restaurant that just happens to have a handful of bar stools and tables outside on Balham High Road - very nice...

It is closing down soon (it's been for sale for a while now) so it is wind-down mode...

Fine bar, slightly off the main Balham drag so pleasingly doesn't get too busy, even at the weekend - though sometimes there's a private party, which can be well lively (if you're invited to stay)

most of the time it's a really relaxing joint, with ultra-friendly staff, and decent food and drinks. Slightly tatty furnishings add to the vibe - reminds me of a large comfy lounge in a student house

Nice down to earth bar with good cocktails and bottled beer choice - bargain in happy hour.

Food is really cheap and if you want big portions and nice wholesome grub, it's a good option.

Feels very friendly

Great vibe in here. Looks a bit tatty, but I seem to find it impossible to leave until very late, even when I've gone in for just a quick drink. The wine list, music, and service all conspire to make me feel more comfortable than I expect to, given that it's got a look more of a cafe than bar (all tables laid out for eating).
