We still really like this venue - okay it is seriously cheesy and uncool and can be a bit leery but still one of the best places in Clapham for a bop in Clapham plus has a 3am licence.
I live really close to the Clapham Grand and normally end up there on a random whim. It has never been the classiest of venues but always guaranteed cheesy music and good fun. I went on Saturday night, after not having been for around a year. Myself and my friends could not get over how much it had changed. The normally Clapham-ites were nowhere to be seen and instead had been replaced with the drunkest most awful clientele we could ever imagine. The music was no longer cheesy and fun, but was more RnB and Hip Hop. We had been in there less than half an hour when a man tried to start a fight with us (3 girls!), the bouncer managed to pull him off but by that point we'd had enough. It's a shame as it was never a favourite venue of mine but normally guaranteed a fun night out.
I completely disagree with the recent reviews – I go to The Grand regularly and have always had a fantastic time! I have always found the staff and bouncers to be helpful and pleasant and not at all like how they have been described on here. I am genuinely surprised that anybody can have a bad night out here – I am a firm Clapham grand fan – and proud of it!
Went to this club for my friends hen night, after the club we had organised to go to turned out to be a dive(peacock bar - do not recommend!). Was absolutely brilliant, great music, drinks - great prices - bottle of bubbly for 18 pounds! Dancefloor is really fun, the whole venue looks awesome and has a great atmosphere. Staff pleasant and efficient. Can't recommend it enough.
Would disagree with "Experienced" (reviewer below) - I went there with a few mates for the 1st England game and had a great time. The place was packed and the atmosphere was huge. Agreed £4 is over the odds for a pint - but getting to watch the game on a screen the size of a bus makes up for it!
We went to go watch the opening match of the world cup football there last week and what a horrible experience. The cheapest beer in a bottle was £4 to start of with and after we rented a "VIP" area for £50 we realized that they cramped us into one side of the bar and put a rope up on the side. The security staff was rude and extremely disrespectful and the bathrooms was such a disgrace that the girls went to the pub next door to use the loo. Never again!
I recently moved to south London, and went to the Clapham grand last night with some friends on a whim.
Queue wasn't bad, bouncers ok, £10 to get in - all the usual stuff. Nice atmosphere though, even in the queue.
Lots of little bars dotted around the club, though you still have to wait ages to be served, and, yes there is crap and bottles all over the incredibly cramped dancefloor (with v little air con :-( - but what do you expect?
The music is great - classics, and lots of cheese, and the crowd were great - not pretentious at all, just a really good laugh.
It was a good night - and we got our coats quickly and a taxi at the end of the night really easily. All in all, a grand night!
Amazing night - great club. They always get it right.
Electric atmosphere. Happy Birthday!
