The Priory Arms, Stockwell

Local pub with links to the Lost Theatre just down the road - I was here for the Alan Davies gig the other night and even it was absolutely packed in the pub, there was only a minimal wait a the bar. Food seemed to be flying out too.

A lot of nights they have theatre-type stuff like improv in the upstairs function room which is good fun (and free).

Beer range and condition is faultless. They do tasters of the draught stuff if you're not sure what to have. Usual range of spirits and a decent wine list too. Quietish background music

Food is quick and delicious - a decent choice of meals/snacks given how tiny that kitchen is, not an inch of cooking/storage space wasted in there.

Worth a trip especially considering how easy it is to get there by tube (Northern and Victoria lines intersect at Stockwell), the Priory is about three minutes walk away. Much better than most of the bars Clapham (in my view), in fact it's worlds apart from the fake, poncy places I occasionally get dragged to by my mates.
