The Sun, Clapham

Of course you go here to "get a bird" my dear chap, even when you've got one already. No one goes here who is remotely interested in beer or food, though on a quiet day upstairs the latter can be quite edible. The USP for this place is that you've got 500+ people of a summer rammed together and looking to 'commune'. So, commune, impress and inveigle your selected person here and then escort 'the chosen one' over to The Polygon where you can get her, or indeed him(if that's your tipple), a lovely cocktail and indulge in some light terpsichory a deux.

Mmm....well, I do like the nice yellow paint. Very cheery in the summer when you can get a seat.It's not a pub though. I think they should just keep the facade and serve you outside when weather permits since I can't fathom why you'd want to drink inside. Beer choice is lamentable if, like me, you prefer bitter to that stuff one cleans ones boots in...er, yes, that's right, lager. Still, if you must drink here and wish all that alice-band, trendy middle-class stuff to wash over you then do pop along to the Alba pizza 50 yards up to get some decently-priced grub to go hold down your Stella. Cheers.

People, please my dears don't waste your time unless your architecural students: the external glazing is pretty neat if you're into, well, office buildings. If you want a drinking venue go elsewhere, a pulling venue go elsewhere and a nice place to meet, select from a range of fine wine,beer and food then....of course, go elsewhere. Just look at the type of people that queue outside at a weekend and you have your answer, though hair gel, gold chains and shirts outside one's jeans may be positively magnetic to you.
