Not as good as it used to be 26th August 2008

This pub used to be lovely; nice friendly atmosphere, good pizza, excellent comedy nights, but over the last year or so it has gone really downhill. The food is still good but the atmosphere is loud and rowdy, the bar seems dirty with tables piled high with half drunk glasses. A real shame but it has stopped being my bar of choice in Streatham Common with The Railway or Earl Ferrers being preferable.

The Waterfront is usually full of loud, mouthy people, and that stops it being anywhere to go if you want conversation. It could still be great, but on my last visit I noticed how sticky the tables where, and the toilets were filthy. They looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years. Not a good sign, and doesn't inspire confidence, especially when food is prepared on the premises.

The best bar for miles as far as I'm concerned (and it's my local, so that's a result). Modern and funky feel. Lots of big tables, so good and sociable. Decent wines and beers. Does great pizzas too. Cool and friendly staff. Non-smoking area, so good for eating during the day, partic if you've got nippers (it'll be even better when it's no smoking totally). Great Sunday morning chill-out place (generally a good chill-out place during the day before transforming into a more buzzy place in the evening). They do comedy nights on a regular basis with what looks like a pretty good line-up (not something I've actually been to though). Maybe music too, although not 100% sure. You can even buy some modern art if you fancy it (stylised pieces of musicians and film stars)! And after indulging you can go for a walk on Streatham Common and stroll up to the Rookery to have a chill!
