The Sun, Clapham, London

I’ve been a fairly regular drinking in The Sun over the past few months, I’m not sure why we always end up drinking here. It has a large crescent shaped bar in the centre of the bar - you get served pretty quickly, usual beers available here, nothing out of the ordinary. The pub has a good, friendly atmosphere, I’ve never witnessed any trouble.

The Sun gets pretty busy at weekends, especially in the summer as the crowds are drawn to the beer garden. I’ve heard good things about the BBQs, but not yet had the chance to try them myself.

The Sun has gone up in my estimation in recent months. I had very decent cheeseburger in here on saturday night and the “Xmas Pud” seasonal ale was delicious (although i’m not sure i could drink more than 1). Staff are friendly and the crowd is young. In the summer, the beer garden gets absolutely rammed (very popular with people from clapham common looking for a place to drink as the evening draws in).

I’ll be back.

With a great (and ever changing) range of ciders and ales on tap and knowledgeable staff, The Sun is a great pub to sit and sample British booze. The pub is a decent size with a central bar, a smaller room out back and a beer garden that is full to over flowing the minute the sun comes out. It’s one of the only beer gardens in Clapham that gets all day sun (hence the name), and even in winter the outdoor area is cosy with the assistance of industrial outdoor heaters. Keep an eye out for their beer and cider 'festivals’ where guest brews are added to the already generous selection on tap.

Situated near the common and the old town area of Clapham is this sweet little pub. The gaudy blue and yellow colours of it’s walls aside it’s quite a nice venue, especially in the summer when you can pop in after a day of sunning yourself. Prices are fine, what you expect for the area and the clientele is mixed but mainly young.

The best pub in Clapham, in my humble opinion. It has always been great for a sunny day, with a decent beer garden. However I think it has just changed management too, which has meant an influx of new interesting beers, ciders and wines. Can’t be bad!

Love this place! Enough said. It has some awesome beers on tap Sierra Nevada for one! The atmosphere is great, and the food they serve is nice. The Aussie guy and the BBQ is an amazing combo, serving delicious burgers and halloumi wraps at good prices. Just what you need after a few pints. The Beer garden is a good size with some good seating arrangements, but if your looking to get a seat get there early as it gets busy quickly in the evenings. Inside its spacious with good seating and chucky tables. Mind you when I’m inside it’s a bit of a blur ordering more drinks, so cant really comment :) But all in all its well worth it.

Part of me has enormous fondness for this pub, and the other part of me loathes how busy it gets in the summer. As we are now coming to the hottest months of the year (supposedly, although there’s not much evidence at the moment), the sun is about to become very very busy.

It gets so rammed sometimes, that people sit on the road outside, which strikes me as a little desperate. However, if you can get in, there’s a lovely covered outside area, and the service is quick and friendly, with the usual selection of ales and spirits, and it’s got about the best atmosphere around.
