We came down here from Amsterdam with 3 girls last friday to have some drinks, was the best night!! With the best people..! If you were there, and you will know if we mean you, please reply! :)
I got food poisoning from eating at this place, i ate the bangers and mash. Im fairly sure the mash was actually smash as well! eat here at your peril.
Came down to Northcote road with a few friends on Saturday night for a few quiet drinks. Ended up having a few too many instead at Babel. Such a great vibe, and everyone was so friendly.....staff and clientele alike.
Will definitely be back for more.......
Babel has definately got an amount of potential due to its location and fit out, sadly that is where the good points end.
The service here is poor at best and the food is very questionable. Try the underdog across the road.
The food here is without doubt the worse I have had for a long time. By the time it eventually arrived it was stone cold and completely unappetising. To top it off the staff are rude and unfriendly - not a place I would recommend in a hurry!
Having been a local around Battersea for several years, I was excited to see that Babel had re-opened after a refurb and I don't think I've ever seen such an amazing transformation of what was already a good looking bar. Totally original design and the fact that when we went there,the place was packed, is a clear indication that Babel is back on the map. Great cocktail list, supberb food and top-notch service is the order for Babel nowadays and I can only salute the brains behind this.
Babel is without a doubt the worst bar I have ever had the bad luck to visit. It is dirty, smokey, smelly with sick in the corridors. The so called manager is rude and unfriendly, and the bouncers are worse than useless.
A friend asked them if they could pop out to say goodbye to us which the bouncer said was fine, but when she tried to go back in two minutes later they were asked for ID and refused entry! Babel is pathetic. Avoid it like the plague.
I have been a Clapham local for four years now, and frequented Babel numerous times. Then one night I left quickly to say goodbye to friends and on my return the bouncer wouldn't let me in despite my jacket still hanging from one of the tables. Despite saying that all I wanted was my jacket, he said the manager wouldn't let me in.
So I rang and asked for the manager, who said that there was no more jackets inside without even looking and then hung up on me when I asked if he could have a quick look.
So despite the fact that I brought about 40 people to Babel, and without us the place would have been empty, they just treated me with contempt.
Babel is an uncomplicated & friendly bar with a good selection of premium spirits and well trained staff. Always a great night out at Babel!
Babel is a very friendly, good looking bar in the heart of Battersea; we came on a Thursday afternoon for coffee after shopping and ended up staying till they closed - at 12! what chance did we have with that neverending cocktail list...so much choice, so little time...
Reliably the best place to go party in Battersea. Great barstaff and cocktails!
"local big-name DJs" - surely a contradiction in terms.
"Miss Strawberry K" - who???
Babel has a great crowd, great prices and great atmosphere. Also local big name djs, including Miss Strawberry K. No entrance fee either. Defo recommend this one.
Fun crowd and not too expensive drinks. This is great in the summer, because the front is totally open, but I've also had good winter nights getting slowly pissed!
