Aquum Bar & Restaurant

Came here on a Friday night hoping to dance the night away. What a horrible idea that was. The bartender was nice, but the music was just not quite my jam, nor was the crowd. The clientele was very mixed but it was also very cliquey. Probably the best part of my night was the hilariously amazing toilet attendant. Be nice to her and give her a good tip if you ever choose to party here.

Urghhhh this place is a completely dive.. The seats are meant to be 'white ' but look super dirty and have stickers where they are falling about. It claims to have won an award best bar, but I have no clue how. I went during happy hour and there was no vibe at all... Judging by what I saw, I can imagine the floor gets very sticky during a club night and I definitely won 't be coming to find out. Just no!

Good place for cocktails as well as a good Sunday lunch. Inside is very modern all whites. Prices are a tad high but that is what you expect when in clapham. Really popular place and always filled to the brim this can sometimes be quite negative as there is no room to really breath. Music is very upto date and if you find yourself a space with some seats, it is a good night out. I would definitely recommend the food during the day the atmosphere is much more relaxed and welcoming in the day light. View menu

I originally visited a couple of times for cocktails with a friend. It was never busy and the vibe was pretty laid back. Cocktails were good. Most recently, I went out during weekend with a friend, and the place is totally transformed. It's super clubby (two floors). The music was okay (recent hits), but the mix wasn't that great, especially given the £15-20 cover. They are really strict with their no tennis shoe policy. My impression was that they try to make it feel more upscale at the door than it actually is inside. I much prefer this place for a simple cocktail than to club.

My first visit was on a Saturday afternoon and I have to say, I was extremely impressed! The lunchtime menu is adorned with a nice variety of foods, but not at the usual bar fare standard. Not only does it look good on your plate, more importantly it tastes deliciousI recommend the burger! At night the laid back-luxe atmosphere transforms into a vibrant and glamorous offering. Drinks are reasonably priced and the attaractive crowd makes you forget that you you are infact in Clapham. With 3 bars, a dancefloor, state of the art soundsystem VIP room there's lots to keep to occupied until closing time at 4am. The South West of London has been crying out for some West End glamour and I think Aquu...

This is a very very high-end bar/restaurant, the inside is beautiful, white, pristine and sparkly. The drinks menu is expensive and caters to a lot of corporate VIP reservations, explaining the availability of pre-ordered £1000 bottles of champagne and such. However I just went there for lunch, when it is very very quiet, hence the £6 express lunch menu, which was spot-on. I had lasagne and my boyfriend has munite steak with lovely thin fries, the portions were perfect for lunch and the steak turned out to be great value for money! There was a nice range of options (including some non-meat ones, such as risotto) and the staff were very friendly and even told us a bit about the place. An abso... View menu

Security guard threw a cigarette at me, verbally assaulted me, and then spat on me as I walked by. Terrible staff, disgusting manner, overall dismal experience and I 'm not even a customer. I was walking passed after exiting a nearby organic food shop, when the bouncer outside threw his cigarette at me, I looked at him and gestured my hands in a What the heck are you doing? manner, to which he responds shouting What? What the f do you want? I told him he threw a cigarette at me, asked why and he shouted at me, to which I responded I 'm going to call the police. so he thought the best course of action was to approach me, spit in my face and swear at me at the top of his voice. I walked off sa...

I 'm not sure I could dislike a bar anymore. No really, I 've tried to rack my brain and I just hate it. It 's such a shame it 's at the end of my road and not in, say, Siberia. You know you 're going to experience something ridiculously snobby and up its own ar$e when you encounter, what I like to call, a 'door b!tch ' (read moody cow with clipboard, smothered with make up and flanked by two huge bouncers), this is Clapham High St, not Mayfair! Just before I entered this hell portal, the two middle eastern looking guys who walked up before I did were turned away because they were 'full '. I could see, they could see and 'she ' could see that it clearly wasn 't. She declared they had to be o...

Somewhat reminiscent of the very chic Restaurant L'Elephant in Ibiza, this new addition to the Clapham bar restaurant scene has left me a bit undecided. We tried it on a perfect sunny Spring day, which certainly helped give it a cool holiday vibe gorgeous sunshine pouring into the room making the all white interior and sparkly furnishings seem refreshing and different for the neighbourhood. It has a small terrace at the front with doors onto the street, which again gives it a relaxed, slightly mediterranean ish, atmosphere. The food was ok, bit bland and nothing special at all (probably done on the cheap), but pleasant enough and hit the spot. Sitting just next to the terrace on a high table... View menu
