| Got to be said nice place overall. I was put off the first time I went in here. The pint of Honeydew I had at first tasted a little off so I switched to pride. The pint I ordered wasn't pulled but was presented to me from a number that were sitting behind the bar. It tasted ok but was still a little off putting and I left after this drink. However the bar staff were really nice and the place itself was great so I went back another time, after a recomendation, and was pleasently surprised. Again the same friendly bar staff, again the same good set up and this time the beer was ok and pulled properly. I've gone back a couple of times since the first experience is the only bad one I've had great place. theoneandonlyjoe - 14 Feb 2008 13:50 |
Yet another Balham pub where the plasma rules... lazy sofa atmosphere and then they ramp up the volume when World Tiddle-winks Championships are on. Pool tables for people to surround and scream at each other inbetween screaming at the plasmas... NOT a place for a quiet drink. asnootyfox - 23 Aug 2007 22:21 |
| This place must have had new management recently because its totally changed from the worm hole it used to be. The bar staff even came over to my table and asked me if I wanted another drink!!! what???? Is this the same place that used to have rude bar staff and be full of lonely locals talking to themselves. We came here last Friday for a quick pint before heading into the city, but ended up staying there to listen the music and chillin out with Jez a local DJ guy that we met Freindly bar staff, good place to chill and you can play pool on proper tables.

| This is a good place - sports on the TV, pool, table football and loads of comfy sofas mixed with standard pub tables and a few higher bar type tables near the front. Balham is definitely on the up - the Clarence, the Jackdaw and the Duke of Devonshire backed up by bars like Blithe and Be at One. At this rate we'll soon be able to shift the chavs at the Witherspoons down to Tooting and open up somewhere clean in its place murgatroyd - 29 Oct 2006 00:00 |
| Before I place my review I should point out that I have only been here during the day. For those of you who like Activity-Based Drinking this place is a great start. There are two pool tables which you pay for by the hour/half hour, table football, and darts. As for the beer itself, you get the usual selection. The Guinness was good, that much I can tell you. The staff were friendly, and I liked the layout of the place, particularly the living room-style area at the back. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come here unless I wanted to play some games, but it is a perfectly passable pub if you are passing. womble54321 - 23 May 2006 10:53 |
