Hello cool new music venue. Okay so it's not new but I've only just discovered it and I love it…read more Decent price drinks, wonderfully clean loos and a dog who lives on the roof - what's not to love? As Craig M mentioned, squirrelled away off Brixton Hill is this gig venue that shows great music most nights of the week. They have a BBQ area outside and even though I didn't get to try it on that night, I bet their beer garden is ace in summer. Check out their website to see what's on and you'll enjoy a mix of arty students and music fans who pilgrim here to listen to great bands at an intimate location.A winner in south London.

Each one has been a memorable occassion. The summer weekend barbeques are a fantastic way of whiling away sunny days whilst listening to interesting artists. It's not the most attractive venue you've seen, and the pillar near the stage does obscure the view for people quite near the front, but these little things are part of the charm. The bar prices are fairly reasonable, and the odd combination of locals watching the football in one corner and some rising indie superstars playing in another is an enjoyable one.

I hadn't seen my buddy in years and it was hysterical for me to realise that living in India for an extended period of time has given him an Indian twinge to his originally German accent.... Anyways I digress! I ended up ordering the beetroot ravioli upstairs - super cute and fresh - but a tiny portion. The prices are a little steep so I ended up not eating any more, but if I'm ever flush I will deffo return. The decor is very English tea-room upstairs which I much prefer to the fusty old-man pub theme downstairs. (Not to be mean. It's just not my cup of tea/beer ;) But major props for being a veggie pub! And will totes recco!

Serves an excellent pint of guinness, as well as the usual other assorted beers, wines and spirits. Also does decent, if not gourmet, pub food that is very reasonable and tasty, especially Sunday Roasts which leave you with a good amount of change from £10. Shows sport and all the usual. If you like a proper, old school local pub then you can't go far wrong with this place.

The decor is really nice inside, with lots of nice seating near the bar but also a more formal sitting area at the rear which forms the restaurant. Definitely one to check out if you're in the area and also very closely situated to the station and brockwell park!

There is a unit dedicated to the kids, filled with toys, a flat screen tv showing children films and appropriate toilet facilities. This pub was built for lazy days indeed! I highly recommend going for the full sunday roast menu and a couple of pints of Weasel to wash it down with!

Tucked away on a side off Balham high street, it felt warm and welcoming, with locals eating and chatting, couple of dogs sleeping in the floor and some amazing and heart warming pub food (venison sausage and mash was really tasty).

There is a friggin' zombie head on the bar for tips! A zombie head!…read more This bar is awesome, it's like Halloween 365 days a year but in a good, funny alternative way rather than a scary goth "I'm going to kill you" way. Firstly they have a great set up with the decor, vampire chic crossed with Emo teen bedroom, crossed with Planet Rock's meeting room...and secondly they have a huge select of beers, even some that I like the taste of. I'm not a beer fan and even the smell makes my stomach turn, but here you can get a apple beer that only leaves the slight lingering air of hopps in your mouth. Why have I given this place so many stars, it good value for money, friendly staff and a great place to go for a night out with friends. Ps. If you lack a sense of humour don't go here...actually, if you lack a sense of humour, get off Yelp!

Aiee me mateys! Let's hit the after pArrrrrrrty!…read more Ok, so maybe this isn't a pirate themed bar per say, but I was definitely digging the whole "Halloween should be year round" vibe they had going on. I mean, their tip jar was a decapitated glowing skull. Seriously. It made my little North West heart ever so happy to see bottles of Rogue behind the bar, and as it turns out they have a might fine booty of imported beers from abroad. (Note: "booty" from "a-broad" puns both implicitly intended.) I will also vouch for the apple beer which went down a bit too easily for this fair maiden. Would I make a trip to Clapham Junction just for this? Probably not. But if I was pillaging and plundering in the area (as I'm known to do,) this sunken treasure would be on my "must visit" list.

It felt special without trying too hard, and it was one of those meals you genuinely enjoy from start to finish. We left feeling happy, satisfied, and already looking forward to coming back.
