The Eagle Ale House, Clapham

What an excellent find. A breath of fresh air from the dull and unappealing bars that litter Northcote Road. There always seems to be new beer on the wooden pumps, many of which, I've noticed, hail from the local reigon and/or are from micro breweries - an excellent selling point for those concerned about giving their hard earned pounds to 'the man'. The staff are friendly and well informed as to what the beer is all about and what would suit personal tastes. And, now here's the clincher, smoking is allowed out front and back! A bonus for those of us who haven't quiet kicked the habit. This definitely has to be my number one pub in the area. Long live The Eagle.
