The Puzzle, Earlsfield

My experience of this bar is limited to a couple of Friday and Saturday nights over the past 12 months.

The Puzzle in Earlsfield can be a fun place to go if you're single and the mood for some rowdy drunkeness - so make sure you're pissed and on the same wavelength as everyone else otherwise you're likely to hate it.

The place gets PACKED!

The bar service can be slow when it's busy, sometimes you'll wait 10-15 minutes just to get to the bar and be served.

The usual and most popular beers, ciders and alchopops are sold - in my experience there Stella and Fosters tastes a bit 'odd' (chemical)....but maybe that's just me...

I've never seen any agro and think the atmosphere is very spirited - your typical antip bar.

The ratio of guys to girls is great if you're a guy, and the antip girls seem pretty easy (and friendly) if you're not sleazy...

The outside section ('beer garden') is very spacious with plenty of seating, so in summer it's great....it could do with more 'decorating' though as it's basically just an empty quadrant with tables and chairs.

About the only real negative I can think of is how loud the music sometimes is - you have to scream to be heard and you go home with ringing ears...

The last few times I've been on a Saturday night there has been a queue to get in after 8....

The Prince of Wales, Wimbledon

A really old bar with a lot of history.
Not the type of place you're likely to see a younger crowd in.
Bar service is good.

The only really bad thing about it is how smokey it is. Even a smoker mate of mine complained how bad it was.
