I was in The Peoples Republic on Saturday night to celebrate my birthday with about 40 of my friends. Tom and Laura the Managers where extremely accommodating, providing us with a nice area for the night despite booking at the last minute.

I thought the bar staff did a fantastic job, very friendly and extremely efficient considering how many people where there. I don’t think I waited more than a minute to get a drink.

I have heard people say the bar is maybe a bit expensive on the drinks front but I thought the prices where quite reasonable and it was good to see cocktails that you could actually drink rather than 2 sips and your finished.

altogether a very good night and I would recommend it to anyone.

So big thanks to Laura, tom and the rest of the team

Conveniently placed bar across the road from Clapham Common tube with a more rock/pop-based music selection than most Clapham venues. Good (though pricey) selection of bottled beers and cocktails. Can get uncomfortably packed on Saturday nights, but still a good place to start off your evening.

I was a fan of this place when it first arrived in Clapham, now I can't wait until it goes away, which it surely will with the service standards I've been receiving of late.

The girls waiting the tables for drinks are simply useless, most of the time it's quicker to head to the bar youself. I will NOT go there again, the service & shoddy decore are inexcuseable when there are some fine bars nearby.

I've been a semi-regular at the People's Republic but I'll not be returning after my experience on Saturday night.



I was served two drinks both of which appeared to contain ants floating in them. Not acceptable.

The situation was handled very badly by the waitress on duty, who (rather reluctantly and very slowly) replaced my drink, twice, with no apology. When we asked to her replace my friend's drink (as her's also contained mint and sugar syrup, and she didn't want to chance hoovering up a bug) the waitress made me feel uncomfortable and I felt like apologising for the situation rather than the other way around.



We ended up paying for two cocktails and drinking half a cocktail and my friend's replacement beer and then leaving as very unhappy customers. I have noticed on my last few visits that staff are less welcoming and bordering on rude.



Overall, totally unacceptable service and totally unacceptable handling of food and drink.

So good to see a high street bar with personality and charisma and without pretention or arrogance. The Peoples Republic Bar & Kitchen has excellent cocktails and spirit range too. The Peoples Republic Bar & Kitchen is perfect for a mid-week drink. Well done guys!

I was in The Peoples Republic Bar & Kitchen on Friday night. Myself and four of my girlfriends decided to meet there as it was the closest bar to the Clapham Common tube. We only intended to stay for one drink but ended up staying the whole night.

The highlight of the night was the friendly service and amazing cocktails. Another thing worth mentioning is the unpretentious crowd. It seemed so carefree, everyone there simply wanted a good time and the bartenders made sure all felt welcome with their friendly chat and smiles.

The vibe at The Peoples Republic Bar & Kitchen was excellent and we will definitely be going back to check out their Saturday night.

I have been to the Peoples Republic Bar & Kitchen many times and always loved it. It is great to go to a bar in Clapham at the weekend and not hear house music all the time. The cocktails are fantastic and The Peoples republic Bar & Kitchen staff are friendly. I love this place.

I'm a Clapham local and the Peoples Republic Bar & Kitchen is one of the best additions to the local scene for a while. Sure it's not the biggest bar in world, but the cocktails are definitely the best on the strip and the bartenders are properly trained and know what they are doing.



My cocktail recommendation for the Peoples Republic Bar & Kitchen is the Claphamite and you've got to try those Wasabi nuts - awesome.
