Extremely friendly staff.The bar is really quiet but when people start arriving you don't really notice. A good time was had by all and we can't wait to come back to the venue. "

Tolerable pub. Pretty quiet when we went in during Andy Murray's US Open Final defeat. Good range of beers, if a little odd. Show a range of sport and have both Sky and Setanta. If that's all you are after you could do worse, but I'd prefer somewhere with a bit more atmosphere, and a bit cleaner. They do serve Walkers Crisps however, so better than the expensive McCoys retailers.Tolerable pub. Pretty quiet when we went in during Andy Murray's US Open Final defeat.

I first visited this establishment years back, when I was in college. Back then it was moderately priced, the staff were all friendly and it was a great place to grab a bite to eat and down a few pints before afternoon lectures.

Now, though, I'm a little unsure. I went back to the Garage about three weeks back and I was astounded at how much everything cost. The staff were all perfectly friendly, if a little less relaxed than before, but I'm not sure I'd recommend this venture to anyone on a budget.

Overall a great place if you're stinking rich! Otherwise, steer clear and find somewhere cheaper.I first visited this establishment years back, when I was in college.

A victim of its own success, B@1 serves great cocktails in a funky little room and the staff are charming, but if you can squeeze yourself to and from the bar to order a Caipirinha in less than 40 mins on a Saturday night, you're a better man than me. The options in this area are pretty limited and you can understand why every South Londoner has decided en-masse to patronise B@1, I just wish it wasn't always so bloody busy. Oh, maybe I'm just getting old.A victim of its own success, B@1 serves great cocktails in a funky little room and the staff are charming, but if you can squeeze yourself to and from the bar to order a Caipirinha in less than 40 mins on a Saturday night, you're a better man than me.

I've just spent the last two gloriously warm, sunny Sundays here and had to add it to the site. This pub was originally recommended to me by a friend because of their food, which is great, but I've since come to realise that The Hope has a lot more to offer besides.

It overlooks Wandsworth Common and is right across the bridge from the railway station, so it's very easy to find. As the pub faces the park, they're more than willing to give you your drinks in plastic cups to take to the common (I know, not very green, but a lovely idea on a hot day). They have an extensive range of beers on tap, including Fruli, one of my favourite summer tipples, as well as Staropramen, Peroni, Deuchars and other pale and real ales. They also have lots of board games scattered about the place - and in my experience, a pub with a decent Scrabble set is always a winner.

The food is aspirational and well-executed, considering the size of the tiny kitchen! I have never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes for it to arrive, either. Everything is served in immense white plate-bowls (v. technical term) giving a gastropub feel. Prices are very reasonable considering the type of restaurants and shops further up the road, which would explain how busy they are. Something they've recently introduced for the summer is that they will prepare picnic baskets of food, wine and all utensils for you if you order with a little advance notice. Given that the pub itself has been packed out for the last two weekends running and the gorgeous common beckons, this is something I'd like to try out very soon.

I haven't been here in the winter yet but I'd be very interested to keep coming back and see how it changes with the seasons. For now, with the excellent weather we've been having, I'd happily recommend it to anyone as a laid-back, suntrap of a weekend hangout.

I've only been here once but really enjoyed it. We arrived after a long drive up from Somerset on a Sunday evening and it was perfect.

We tucked into roast lamb and a very tasty, if a little stingy, piece of pork belly before coming third in their pub quiz.

In terms of pub quizes it's the best we've been to with a great quiz master and very lively crowd. Maybe next time we'll improve on third.I've only been here once but really enjoyed it. We arrived after a long drive up from Somerset on a Sunday evening and it was perfect.

You can ask anyone who goes here that the best thing is the fun friendly atmosphere. The place is chilled and cosy during the week and fills up at the weekend with everyone rubbing shoulders and having a good time, from the punters to the staff. Live music on bank holiday sundays and regular djs most weekends! Great bar, great night...You can ask anyone who goes here that the best thing is the fun friendly atmosphere.
