Went to the Clapham North bar this Christmas. Arrived about 10:00pm. This is a warning for people going to this bar, but after observing what was going on in the pub, there is a group of thieves working this bar. Watch out for your bags and coats, phones and money. They seem to prey on very drunk young girls who leave their jackets and bags while they are dancing or talking to people.

Have been going to the Clapham North infrequently for several years, last about 18 months ago, and always had a good time until tonight. Had a work Christmas party; it was very expensive for a very mediocre two course pub meal (not including any drinks), tables (for about 20) were right in the middle of the bar (at the front of the pub by the door) with very loud music so had to shout in everyone's ear - not great when you're trying to eat dinner - and service was mediocre at best. Later on, I went to the bar to get a few more wine glasses; the first barman said 'no' and then ignored me and the second found me two glasses and then ignored me (I asked for three).
Drinks were very expensive and badly made - my friend had a gin and tonic which was essentially water spiked with a small amount of gin.
The worst part was, it wasn't even that busy, despite being the Friday week before Christmas - every other time I've been there it's been rammed with no wriggle room but tonight there was plenty of space to get around and therefore no excuse 'of being very busy' for such a poor effort.

So disappointed.

This is a place where the management do not care about customer experience, as long as they are taking your money! Rude staff, below average food and dirty glasses = I am not going again.

I do not seem to be the only person with this view.

Rude staff, Rubbish food and Flat beer.

In my opinion 1 Star is too good for this place!

I went yesterday for lunch with a friend and my father. We ordered 1 BLT and 2 cheddar and mushroom sandwiches and the waiter was less than alert or switched on for his shift. A different lady arrived with the food 15 minutes later and handed us 2 BLTs and 1 Goats Cheese Sandwich, we were in a hurry so I said don't worry we will eat it as we don't have much time. I female waitress apologized but basically slagged off her male waiter, not very professional. I then asked for some vinegar and the waiter brought it to me, unfortunately after I had used it my friend pointed out that the vinegar had a at least 10 dead flies in the bottom, how pleasant!

My chips were ruined and only one of us ate what we ordered and the waitress gave me a 25% discount off the food, I was not impressed!

I will never go to Clapham North again, the place is a disgrace.

Went to the clapham north over the weekend, which before that i hadn't been in before some time.
The place looks more like a bar now, they have done it up a bit, but still has a great feel.
We ate and had some drinks. The food was great, drinks to. They finally have an ale on tap.
I'll definitely be going back...

Staff stand behind the bar talking when your waiting to be served and food was very disappointing not a place i would eat again.

Ive been here on a few occasions, has a great atmosphere fireplace in winter, outside seating in summer, good music. Food is just regular pub food nothing too exciting so would probably recommend going just for drinks. last time I went we saw mice running around under the tables which has put me off a bit, if I go back I definitely wouldn't order food.
