Blithe Spirit, Balham

Must say having read through some of the reviews below, some of which I agree with, one over-riding fact seems to have been missed or something�s changed recently� I went into the Blithe on a Saturday night a few weeks back and was really impressed by the change in music policy � gone was the boring jazzy/housey-bar-music-norm I�d come to accept and instead was something a little different. In fact I don�t think I can even class it � it was mixed up but had a really good vibe to it plus the dj�s were genuinely friendly and said they�d play any requests if they had them which is different to the usual pretentious jocks you come across. Bottom line is: apart from the pub-like d�cor, the atmosphere�s good, the booze is good and the music really interesting and fun (which I can honestly say isn�t a regular thing in the Balham area!) It now all adds up to a place I regularly enjoy going to on a Sat night.
