The Regent, Balham

A decent sports bar, ruined by an incredibly rude manager. There are plenty of screens to watch sport and a decent selection of beers but the attitude of the bar man is beyond belief.

Surly and sarcastic comments as you are being served. Simple requests to change channels or to move tables refused "because he said so".

A friend of mine ordered a mixed grill, only to be served a plate of charcoal. When he complained to the bar man, he was met with disdain and told that it was "char-grilled, not burnt", before opening chastising the poor Polish chef in front of the whole bar for her mistake after begrudgingly giving a 50% refund.

This guy is a knob and is spoiling what could be a great sports bar.
