Inigo, Clapham

Absolutely rammed full of people seriously off their faces. Lingering presence of somewhat thuggish looking blokes dealing. Impossible to dance due to the sheer numbers of people, and the fact that most of them are struggling to stay on their feet. Music system pretty dodgy- speakers cracking and breaking and at one point a strong smell of burning as one of them died completely. Might be just me, but I felt this place had a slightly 'fighty' atmosphere, not helped by the queues at the bar/for the toilets/to get in/to get out/smokers packed round the door.
Choice of drinks seemed pretty mediocre, but I'm pretty sure much of the crowd wasn't using alcohol as their substance of choice that evening anyway.

Match Bar, Oxford Circus

One of the only bars that seems to have any kind of atmosphere at the weekend in this area. Excellent bar staff, friendly and keen to recommend drinks.

The Frog and Forget-Me-Not, Clapham

Feels kind of dirty. Sticky tables and decor from the 70s (and not in a good way). Food pretty substandard. Randomly playing hardcore house music regardless of time/mood!
Beer ok.
Think you would already have to be pretty drunk before entering to enjoy an evening here.
