The Raven, Bath

I found this pub last year (when staying in the hotel opposite) and loved it. I was in Bath for a couple of hours the other evening and had to pop in, and it's as I remember it. The beer is exemplary, the service good, and the generally ambience of the place is relaxed and cool - I love this place, and wish there was something like it nearer to home. Long way to go for a beer though, unfortunately.

The Exhibit, Balham

I used to like The Exhibit but it has gone downhill in the last year or so. The staff can be awful at times ("what do you mean, you don't want lemon in your coke? Just take it out then!"), and it is expensive too. But I have noticed just how tacky and cheap it is looking now; it has had some renovating done on it and it just looks so awful now. There used to be some nice tables and chairs on the ground floor - they've been replaced by what look like some small old camping furniture bought from a car boot sale.

The idea of a small cinema is good though.

The Firefly, Balham

Cool unpretentious relaxing place to have a quiet drink in, and the food is very good, especially their Sunday roasts! Staff great too, especially when a mate was involved in an accident nearby and the staff were very kind and helpful.
