Great beer garden 
The actual pub isn't anything special, it's really American, dark and dingy.
In the summer however, it's great, it's got one of the largest beer gardens I've seen in London, with beautiful flowers, trees and plenty of seating. Get there early on hot summer evenings to bag your table.
They do chuck you out of the garden by 10pm because of the residents, I would advise moving on at this point.

Review of The Elk Bar
19 Apr 08, 09:15
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie 
As with most of Fulham Broadway, the bars actually on the B'way are completely full of Australians, Kiwis and South Africans - but The Elk bar really gets the brunt of it.
I have nothing against these visitors, infact if you are in the mood they can be quite fun, just don't go near it when England are playin one of them because they are rather ungracious!
The bar however is ok, but it's always over crowed with really bad DJs, I'm actually surprised that it's managed to stay there as long as it has.

Review of Aragon House

Fairly foul
Stuffed full of pink shirts and loafers.
On the plus side, it's got a massive garden in the back, which when the weather is good gets packed, they do a pretty good BBQ too.
I have to have one rant on this place though, which is the reason I've only given it it one star.
The bar staff are rubbish - basically if there is a packed bar two or three people deep they do nothing about it, they just stand around chatting and not doing their job.
Sorry to go off on one, but it's very annoying particularly with the prices they charge, you are better off in the Duke or the Pony if you want to stay in a good mood.

Review of S Bar

Good atmosphere
It's a fairly generic bar to be honest, they have another branch in Fulham Broadway, but it pretty much does what it says on the tin.
Drinks are reasonably priced, the bar staff are nice and there is generally a good crowd in there. I enjoy it more in the summer, but as Thomas says, it's good as a starting point to your evening.

Review of Ebury Street Wine Bar

Great for a quick office lunch 
If you work in Victoria you can often be stretched to find a fun place for a client lunch, or somewhere for a quick early supper with a friend.
The Ebury Wine Bar has it all, a great snack type menu with antipasti plates, or chicken skewers. It's got a nice atmosphere, with affordable food, great wine list (obviously) and in a fun location.
Highly recommend this one if you work in the area.

Review of Rumi

Gross
Really dodgy place that you should only stumble into if you can't make it over the bridge.
Slightly seedy bouncer that really gives you the once over before deciding whether you are alright (ie still standing) to go in.
Would avoid it if possible.

I'm with you guys
It's not a great place. Went on a date once and I couldn't hear a word the guy was saying - there was a DJ playing at full pelt to a practically empty bar.
Not a big fan, you can do better than that in the area.

Review of Beaufort House

More Cocktails
Like the others have said I agree it's great for cocktails.
Gets really rammed so if you're not very tall expect to have an uncompfortable night, but other than that it's a good warm up bar before going on somewhere else.
Location pretty good, lots of buses go past so easily reached.

Review of Cross Keys

Pubs and Churches
What is it about great pubs being near churches? This is a fine example of that, The Keys iks sort of there taunting you whilst you sit through the Sunday morning service with a bit of a thirst on you.
Great pub, intersting decor, fantastic location for a party, but you need to book it in advance.

Review of The Enterprise

Awesome Pub 
Genuinely a really great pub. It's been there for years, my granddad used to drink there.
Great for birthday parties, or a cosy night with a group of mates.
Farily hard to find, hidden away but that's part of the the appeal.

Perfect People watching spot
Bang smack on the side of Sloane Square, I've had many an enjoyable girls lunch sitting outside just watching the world go by.
In the winter the downstairs bar is nice and cosy.
Highly recommend this if you like people watching.
