The bartender is the nicest guy I've met in months - well worth a visit for him alone

A huge, varied and unique pub, separated from the main street by a 5 minute walk down a residential road. As such, you tend not to find the Clapham visitors here; they'll stick to the obvious places on the High St, and so you'll be surrounded by locals.
The gardens (front and back) are popular in the warmer months, and chances are you'll find yourself caught up amongst a live music/poetry performance, or art sale, or ale festival. Spacious with a vintage feel and really friendly bar staff.
Well worth the visit. -

I discovered this pub quite late into my time in Clapham but it quickly became a favourite. My boyfriend at the time loved ale, and I love vintage so the pub was a winner on both counts. It's known for it's selection of beers, and holds regular events including Clapham or Bust Burlesque nights. The main pub is at the front, events are held upstairs and there's a conservatory at the back. An outside area is also great in summer.
At weekends, even if there isn't a big event, there is a still a dj downstairs who'll spin rock 'n' roll classics and reggae revival, with space for those who have their dancing shoes on. It's the type of place you might go to if you fancy a bit more than an evening in the pub, but don't fancy going out clubbing.
It's a relaxed but fashionable community pub, more related to Bethnal Green that its Clapham neighbours, and one that'll please any discerning beer drinker.
Food is also available. I have had a Sunday roast there which was OK but not excellent in terms of taste, but brilliantly priced at £6.
It is also interesting that the pub is run by the Battersea and Wandsworth Trades Union council which is a group of dedicated, mostly unpaid volunteers, who support local and international workers' right campaigns, which explains its community feel.
