So.uk, Clapham

I've only been there on a Thursday night while I was looking for a late drinking venue. everything seemed fine on first impressions, but after asking for a double vodka with a splash of coke (I like to taste the vodka in my drink) and was met with hi-ball glass filled to the top with Coke thrust towards me.

A reply of "that wasn't what I ordered" resulted in the reply of "If you want something else, it's going to cost you another drink. That's how we pour them here" and he quickly took the undrunken drink and put it out of reach, and even when challenged, he wouldn't give it back.

So naturally, as I thought this this wasn't how a bar which values repeat custom should operate, I asked to speak to the manager. The barman then returned, very quickly, with the largest bouncer on hand who then said 'It's a Thursday night, there's no manager here'

After speaking to my fellow drinking companions, they were of the impression that the drinks they've been handed didn't seem the correct 'consistency' (and they do know their drinks).

I can only come to the conclusion that this is not somewhere you should plan to go to, even if you're looking for a late bar.
