Project Orange, Battersea

The only decent place for those escaping upturned collars, chavs and gold digging bints.
Needs better cider choices than the typical Slagners tho.

I was welcomed and I return because of it

If you wear shoes, please dont bother

The Fine Line, Clapham Junction

I thought it was a shoe shop

The Duck, Battersea

Crying out to be a pub again.

Yet more "coffee" colour coded schemes zzzzzzzzz

I doubt there is a community to this place.

Great if you like cheese on flat cooked dough

The Holy Drinker, Battersea

Not a bad place for a school night, interestingly decorated and nicely lit

Niksons Bar and Restaurant, Battersea

The Eagle Ale House, Clapham

How pubs should be.

If you wear deck shoes or push a bugaboo please desist from entering

B@1 (Be At One), Balham

If you didnt go to the right schools I wouldnt bother.

Collar ups lads ! No sleeping on tour !!

Jesus.....

(at least it keeps them isolated from the rest of us)

The Exhibit, Balham

Dire

Thinks its in Soho, looks like its in some crappy seaside resort. The fake mahogany wood is thinly veneered, as are the clientelle.
I had 2 pints and the second was really only because I found that watching all the idiots in this place was like a bizarre lesson in anthropology, and I found it so amusingly up on itself.

Seen it before, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Hope, Wandsworth Common

This place is just getting worse and worse.
Paper peeling off the walls, hideous loud echoey acoustics due to lack of soft furnishings (and customers if they arent careful), tiny bar (why isnt the whole thing used), chairs and stools stacked in the disabled lift, I can go on.

There is a vivid sense of this place being unloved and cynically used to pay someones wages. I doubt the owner goes here much unless its to colect the loot.

Such a shame, as the location is great and the area is crying out for good proper pubs

The Cat's Back, Wandsworth

Lovely odd place, yes the light are a bit too bright for the ambience there but thats about it.

Oh and how about some other ciders?

The Royal Standard, Wandsworth

No longer a TUP, owned by Massive still tho.

Seems to be one of the only real pubs in the area. Real people and no pretentions to be a gastropub (bring your own food !!)

Almost want to keep it secret

The Ship Inn, Wandsworth

A well presented pub just about managing to retain character despite the increasingly tiring "Youngs" Chocha Mocha decor. Great decked area loooking over river, with a BBQ kitchen and seperate bar.

Wandsworth is dire for drinking but at least in summer you can come here

The Grove Tavern, Surbiton

Half the pub is now no smoking. All this seems to do is draw the "builder type" chelsea fans to the front of the pub. leaving the back (airport lounge bit)spookily quiet.

Sport is piped at a ridiculous level even on a monday

The Fox And Hounds, Surbiton

Great pub !
Friendly localy pub, with nice staff, and good food.
Tends towards the quieter which makes for a nice place to go for a chat with mates etc.
Has a dartboard too which is a rarity these days.

In the summer, alll sorts of peculiar events go on here.

Nice change from the chavvy chelsea pubs on maple road

The Grove Tavern, Surbiton

Nicely tuned out and under new management.

Please PLEASE !!! turn those lights down a bit tho !!!
Need sunglasses in there !!!!

Theres something I cant define missing from the place as well. It has an Airport lounge feel, needs something to make it more homely

Rubicon Bar, Surbiton

Arrogant pretentious owners
Narccisistic clientelle

10 Jan 2005 15:08
