What an amazing place! Great service, music, happy hour, food, basically everything! You can enjoy a night here with your boyfriend or have a good dance with girlfriends. One of the best bars i've been to in a very long time.

This bar feels like it has just stepped in from Manhattan, yet it contains none of New Yorks snobbery. For either drinks after work or a weekend session, it has all you need - great service, delicious cocktails and extremely cool music.]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:09:07 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1m9yv6344676294 ebl 51.462643285991 -0.1329038616913 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1m3yr7

Great place to have a small private party for free. The staff are really accomodating and corner off an area of the bar just for you! The cocktail list is vast and not to pricey. Great city vibe.]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:44:50 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1m3yr7775092779 zarakaba cool late license gastro pub standard pub food trendy relaxed 51.462643285991 -0.1329038616913 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1z1lk7

Apart from housing two of my main bugbears - a point in the evening where the bar stops serving pints (only bottles) and *those* 'bathroom beggars', I found The Loft to have a great, easy-going vibe with very attentive and friendly staff. In fact some of the friendliest bar staff I have come across - chatty, respectful and eager to please. I held my 30th birthday drinks here recently and the team were great will all my guests; and following a tip-off from my fiancé - even made a special 'birthday panna cotta' (as opposed to bday cake) with a candle in it. Nice touch ;)

The place itself looks cool without being self-conscious about it, and you can forget you're in Clapham for a while. Would recommend, especially for parties or reservations. Also the bar food - namely the pan fried squid was excellent!]]> Sun, 14 Sep 2008 09:51:21 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1z1lk72050870328 RobD lively good value 51.462643285991 -0.1329038616913 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1p4978

We had a lovely time at the Loft on Saturday for dinner. The food was delicious, and the floor staff excellent. The young lady who seated us looked after us all evening was very friendly, well organised, and we were all impressed that she knew from our pre-order who had ordered what. Then we started on the cocktails, and it all went a bit hazy.
In Short, we had a great time and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Loft to anyone considering holding a party there. In fact, I'm sure we'll be back there soon too.]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:57:28 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1m19181777784855 abowie lively good value 51.462643285991 -0.1329038616913 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1s7748

Queen B has pretty much covered this place but I have a few things to add. It might be a good place if you're having group get togethers as you can reserve tables which might be handy as this place packs out really fast. Also, I haven't tried anything yet but the menu looked pretty good and apparently the head chef used to work at the Glasshouse so it might be one to add to my list of places to try! Will keep you posted.]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2008 00:33:32 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1227082145256333 lenalouise trendy cocktails 51.462643285991 -0.1329038616913 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1j06k8

Sister club Plan B, sets quite a high standard to match for a good night out in South London doesn't it?

Situated just next to Tesco Metro, you could easily walk past this bar. What I've found with The Loft is that it's best for chilled Sunday drinks and quick pre-club drinks.
Maybe once the novelty of a newish venue to Clapham High St wears off it will be more feasible but due to the size and layout, it's finding it hard to cope with the public demand.

I've been here on numerous occassions now, Tuesday evening after work drinks, Friday/Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons, and I will keep going back as its a very nice bar. Trendy without being pretentious, staff are fun and friendly and the food is good for a bar too.

The lazy and the vain, will the love the lift entrance that takes you directly into the bar and lights up as you arrive - drawing all eyes on you.
Short people will hate the trademark high bar, that requires you to have to look up to bar staff or struggle to pay/get your drink without spilling it.
The seating is not designed very well but is very sought after, on busy nights you are left with people shaking their asses in your face, annoyingly.

The views out the windows are restricted and blocked out if you are sitting but it could be to remove the view of the shops, drunk revellers on the streets, and fast food joints.

They always have good music - styling itself as a DJ bar, rather than club, with Norman Jay on the opening party night and the likes to follow. If you remain until closing - 1.30am, you can ask staff for a wristband for entry to carry on partying for free at Plan B in Brixton.

cocktails averaging on £6/7 each, soft drinsk £1.50, beers, £4.50]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:10:16 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1c64j7x/the-loft-bar/1j06k81317064063 QueenB restaurant good looking people Plan B smart DJ modern bar 51.462643285991 -0.1329038616913
