Blithe Spirit, Balham
I have visited Blithe Spirit on numerous occasions in the last three months and up until yesterday (15th November) i thought that it was a great discovery, an oasis in the desert considering the other pubs and bars in Balham. The atmosphere there is pleasant, the croud nice, the music great and Stephen the manager a lovely and polite man.
On the above mentioned date however i went to BS with a friend of mine who is also somewhat of a regular there. When she ordered a drink from a member of staff called Jason Timms (if that in fact is his real surname) asked her for an Identification. Iana (my friend) is 22 years old and after she provided her ID Jason started raising his voice at her, telling her that with her attitude he wouldn't normally serve her. I cannot stress enough that she was not rude in any way and that the scene the barman made in front of all the customers (who later also shared their dislike of the man) was absolutely unneccesary. I was extremely disappointed that such a great place has to suffer from the actions of a single man.
After the incident when asked for his full name Jason refused to give it initially and after he finally told us what it was he refused to serve any of us (by that point there was four of us).
I am sad that i have to write this and that i will not visit the pub again unless Jason appologises personally to all of us.
