Circle Bar, Clapham North - pub details

Description

We recently took over this bar in March 2008. Since then we've been busy. Gutting the place, spending money on brightening up the bar inside and out, making the locals feel welcome, making the place look more inviting and putting on the best service, fun, food and drinks you deserve!

You'll find us between Stockwell and Clapham North tube stations on Clapham Road, and when you've arrived you will be greeted by our friendly staff and presented with a wide choice of quality wines and beers, and a delicious home cooked food menu.

The tempo during the week is relaxed and comfortable. At the weekend the Circle Bar comes to life with resident Dj's playing an eclectic mix of new and old on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

We make sure we look after our guests, especially our party bookings!

Never visited this pub before it got redone but now can say it's one of my favourites this side of Clapham. Staff are friendly (and all the barmaids are pretty tasty too), beer is good, weekend nights are busy but not too rammed, promo nights are very busy, food is tasty and the atmosphere is really friendly and welcoming. Pub quiz is great fun too with a mad quizmaster called Rob who drinks Guinness (good lad) and shouts very loudly.
Definitely recommend for an evening of decent drinks and chat.

What a turnaround, I used to visit this place some time ago, but only as it was a convenient stop for a late one on the way home. Inside its totally different, and its not just the asthetics either theres a real friendly buzz about the place.
Looks cool and has been oppulently kitted out. Great place to go and chill in comfort whilst being lively and upbeat at the weekends.
Its the atmosphere which has undergone the biggest change and thats largely due to the staff and Id imagine the new management, Like Cheers but without the fat yanks.
If you like Thai food then its the place to mange too, very reasonable, very tasty and they dont scrimp with the portions either. If you didnt think much of the 'old' circle bar, stick your nose in the door, you'll feel as if youve stumbled upon a newly discovered a little treasure.

Hi, my name is Dan and I took over ownership of Circle Bar in March 2008.

I know all the reviews on here seem negative and that's because the service and experience was poor. And that's why we took over and have put a lot of time and effort in to bringing Circle Bar back up to the standard of night out it once was.

To all you people who left a negative review, please come back in and let us know what you think now....see if we've done enough to win you back!

Please keep an eye out to see whether the next reviews on here show our efforts have paid off...

Strange. Looks ok and nice back garden, off the road.
Very "local" went here for a quick drink last Friday night (about 6pm) before going out for dinner. Every head of the five or so people sat at the bar turned when we walked in. Music: ridiculously loud banging house music, given the time and the fact that there were about 8 people in the bar, eventually conversation became impossible, so we left.
Time before this, had some food which was surprisingly good. Drank Magners, so not sure about the draught beers. Although I seem to remember at least one of them was "off". Friendly staff.

Went here last Week for alot of drinks with 6 friends....

The Hidden Garden is absolutely great! We spent the whole day and night there and were looked after well by the sexy staff! we also had some ribs from the great and reasonably priced bbq (5.00 per head)

Not sure why there is all this talk about there being no stock....we had all the full range of wonderful beers on!

Recommended and there are not many in Clapham with a Garden like the Circle Bar!
