Revolution Bar, Clapham, London

This is a place were some of the hottest lady's go for a night out warm up before they go clubbing lads be there or be no were.

A vodka bar, but does have lagers and Guinness. Food served all day. Has a separate bar area to the right, Vey comfortable chesterfield sofas. The seat around the tables are equally as comfortable, but not all. If you are going to visit when it is busy, get there early as some tables have hard platistic seats, which look like they come from the 1970's.

A friend had suggested the Revolution Bar for a Birthday night celebration venue. On entering, the place provided was nicely busy and the atmosphere was welcoming - not pretentious, but not chavvy either. A good mix of groups. The range of drinks on offer were good, without being over the top and the prices were pretty reasonable too I thought.
I can’t comment on the food, the group I was with were drinking only.
The place has a DJ and a little space to let down your hair and have a dance, but by all accounts, most of the clientelle seemed to be enjoying the music where they stood - be it on the 'dance’ floor or by the bar.
At this point, I just have to raise a little disappointment regarding the lack of more up-to-date tracks behind the decks. Most of the tunes were mid to late nineties stuff, which is OK, but something more recent would have been good to add to the mix I feel.
Otherwise a good night and I’m sure I’ll be back again soon.

At first I had doubts about this place, I just felt its not my sort of thing but still can be perfect for a hen-party- I thought. Nice people, quite satisfying late 90’s disco music (not my favorite tunes- but it wasn’t my hen night) and an overall good atmosphere. The big jugs of pitchers that we ordered definitely worth their price- they were full of alcohol. No wonder after a few jugs I ended up chatting to the toilet lady while a willy- straw was hanging out of my mouth. Clapham Junction Revolution definitely worth a visit and if you do so say hello to the toilet lady from me. :)

I am familiar with quite a good few Revolution bars but I think this particular one has to be my favourite. It's one of the larger ones that I've seen and it's always packed out with people. Another great thing from a true Manchester girl point of view is that places in this area are much less pretentious than other London venues. It seems to attract a less painfully impressionable crowd, which feels nice and familiar. There are a good deal of Northeners there strangeley enough. The atmosphere's comfortable, always well heated on those cold days and the selection of food and drink is endless.

I discovered the Revolution Bar after having wandered around the area for an hour or so wondering where to go and eat. Anyway I went and was amazed to find that it had a really warm,friendly atmosphere,big open rooms,comfortable booths to sit in and very smart,snazzy decor.

Next I ordered food from a really small menu,but my selection was mostly dictated by the fact that all the dishes sounded very nice. I must admit I was not mistaken in my choice because the food was just amazing- big portions for a bar/pub type place. The staff were all very friendly,helpful and more than happy to make our eating experience very nice. I have been to a lot places where the food has been so good but the service so awful-especially if the waiting are unfriendly.

The new Revolution Bar at Clapham Junction has had a massive revamp from the old Yates that use to occupy the site. I went on a Friday night. The fact that I was asked for ID (I’m 25) alerted me to the fact that I think this place is used to a lot of under-agers trying to get in and inside the crowd was pretty young. Its been nicely done out with different seating areas and small dancefloor and booze is reasonably priced. It’s probably not my sort of place to be honest but it was busy and the party was still going strong when we left so I definitely say give it a try!
