user reviews of Arch 635, Clapham North

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Came here on friday and was really pleased that I found this hide away. Nice crowd (unlike the high st)
Very reasonable bar prices and friendly staff.
The music was epic as DJ was great he played a bit of everthing.

Went there last weekend. Was great and vibrant, to say the least. Was such a great place to hang out. The art work is excellent as well and found myself dancing to some great tunes! Well worth the visit.

Since I put my last comment on I have asked for it to be removed. The reason being is that I have complained to the bar and their response has been top notch, including baring the person and reviewing the security arrangements, so since my last comment was so damming it is only fair to add this until the comment has been removed.

This place is a disgrace. I was there last Saturday and some guy was hassling this girl in a bunch of girls who were dancing and enjoying themselves. When one of her friends asked him to stop and stepped in front of her friends, the little bully pushed her to the floor sneered and walked off.
The girls were ok but were embarrased and left, yet I saw this little a/hole being spoken to who I presume was security and thought he would get kicked out. Yet 20 minutes later he is strolling round the bar still drinking. Any woman should avoid this place if that is how it treats security. The place is ok but too packed but if it condones this kind of thing it deserves no praise.

An excellent place to drink! Clapham seems as though it is being overtaken by faceless bars and this one is one of the only independently run bars left. With a great atmosphere and a different mix of people the bar is surely one of the coolest Clapham.......and the drinks are reasonably priced as well!

Have had some excellent, and some rubbish nights here. Always seems to be a different crowd and different music. Women- it can get a bit letchy (I've been chased out of there on more than one occasion due to over friendly blokes)! But, it's not expensive and on the right night have found myself dancing away for hours...

Not bad, nicely tucked away from sigh of some of the more offensive trendy bars in the locale. Pity about the curious kids, running in and pressing their faces against the windows while you're trying to enjoy a refreshing pint. That aside, I'd go again.

Definitely one of the better bars in the area, a far better atmosphere than most of the dull bars along the high street and good music to boot. Somewhat a hidden gem nicely tucked away from it all, and surprisingly for Clapham actually has character. I've already been a few times and will no doubt be back for several more...

Good bar but you find this place by mistake its so well hidden friendly staff not too expensive like some bars in clapham and sells zubrowka so it gets my vote.

Always liked this place for an extended pre-club warmup. Bar prices and attitude but all good. Excellent tunes and a clearly involved management make this a hidden gem amongst the more commercialized offerings near by

good music (though variable!), opens late with no cover charge, not-too-poncey crowd as clapham goes. nice unusual feel being under railway arches too.

Not really my type of music, but still one of the better places in the area purely because its a relaxed atmosphere so its still somewhere I go happily.

Different, but nice only been here once, a couple of years back but I will def return.

Nice place, shame about the bar staff. If you want to get served, best take a leggy blond with you.

Have only had good experiences here, you can get a late drink in here, not too expensive, and there's a bit of space. Comapred to other esatblishments in the area this generally elevates itself above the competition.

it would be good if it wasn't so damn narrow and you had to stand with your neck craned due to the angle of the brick arch.. Good dj's playing nice soulful house tho.

great bar, friendly staff, great layout, brilliant cherry cake. Need I say more?
Doug - 20 Oct 2003 13:48
I was there last friday for cherry cake, I thought it was the name of the night, but when I walked in, there it was! Bar staff are a bit rude I thought.
sadie - 10 Oct 2003 12:07
Great venue and friendly atmosphere. I'd heard great things about the cherry cake, but to be honest I was disappointed.
Darren - 10 Oct 2003 11:03
Nice bar, great staff, try the cherry cake!
pebblemill - 10 Oct 2003 10:31
excellent bar, but no fondue sets about. Melted cheese would be the cherry on the cake.
