I love it in here when its heaving, its got that real young london vibe to it, i like the fact there are separate levels so if you want a chat and catch up over food then head on upstairs to where its a little quiter. The food is great especially if theres a group of you and you want to share plates.

An infinite improvement on its previous incarnation, and one of those places that's really benefited from the smoking ban.
It's a modern pub serving a good range of booze to young Claphamites in sleekish surroundings. Food is served throughout, but if you want to eat away from the seething masses, the dining room upstairs is mezzanine style so you get a table to yourself but can still soak up the pub atmosphere.
Grub is gastropub style and a cut above your usual. Cote de Boeuf for two weighs in at around £30 including a generous portion of mash and veggies, and it would easily have served three; there's roast pork belly, haddock risotto, slow cooked lamb - you get the picture.
It's strange there aren't more places like this in the area, but maybe that's why it gets so busy at weekends - get down early or expect to battle for space.

Nice place for after work drinks

A former O' Neills pub, the Goat is a sprawling drinking den, beloved of people who work in the area.
There are lots of continental largers on tap as well as bottled beers, alchopops and ciders. Food is served on the Mezzanine level.
The only drawback with this place is, like many places in Clapham Junction it can get rather overcrowded, especially at weekends.
