As its name signifies, the Bread and Roses has strong links with socialism, and it's owned by the trade union-backed Workers Beer Company. But working class style it isn't, if images of flat caps and northern club comics come to mind, you're in for a disappointment. This place is very 21st century and cool - and upmarket. There may be three hand pumps offering traditional ales, but there's also a good wine list and an impressive array of spirits if you're in a cocktail mood. The food is pretty swish and reasonably priced and the music's decent. There's usually something on here - a regular pub quiz, burlesque nights (gasp) - if you need something more than drink, food and a relaxed vibe. If pubs were newspapers, you feel this one might be the Observer - a bit Sunday supplement to look at, but sincere.

I love this pub,although I am not sure it should be described as a pub or a bar, its a bit of both. I go whenever I am in the Clapham area. I decided to rate it as the place seems to have changed for the better over the last few months and I want more people to discover it.



I went on Saturday night, the music was brilliant, a breath of fresh air from the Benidorm mayhem of Clapham high street. The atmosphere was friendly, relaxed and vibrant. I agree with one of the other reviews, that the pics shown on the site do not tally up with how the pub looks now.

I ordered food and had a Lamb burger and thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend this pub, one should go NOT expecting a classy Clapham gastro bar but should expect to find an eclectic, fun, off beat pub that is more fun and better than your run of the mill local boozer.
