Happily for SW4's discerning drinkers, this first-floor bar is still missed by the party-hunting
20-year-olds who trawl Clapham High Street. The Loft's savvy management has created an attractive bar from these spacious, slightly industrial surroundings, black chairs adding accents to the sturdy wooden flooring. Of the 30-odd cocktails, house mixes such as the Blueberry & Cranberry Collins (home-made blueberry gin, grapes, cranberry juice and soda water) and the Wonderfizz (Whitley Neill gin, pomegranate juice and home-made grenadine) stand out; other inventions include the Holy Stone Roller, with cranberry-infused bourbon, sarsparilla cordial and calvados. Bottled beers include imports such as Brahma, Paulaner and Brooklyn Lager, plus brews from Greenwich's fast-expanding Meantime; tables around the corner accommodate diners tucking into a variety of gastropub-esque dishes.
Sorry, booking is not available at the moment.

I had my birthday here a few weeks ago and had an amazing time! I had emailed the events team and asked to reserve a space, as I knew things get busy on a Saturday. When we arrived the space was all ready for us, and we enjoyed scrumptious 2-4-1 cocktails which were amazing! As the night progressed, more people arrived and we ended up staying until 130. The service was great, the bar is trendy and relaxed and all in all a great night out. Would recommend to all!
Really fun place. The atmosphere is great on a Saturday, with the DJ's really making a party out of it!
The Best bar in the area by some distance.
I really like the Loft. The cocktails are delicious and the 241 deal runs every night which makes them great value. The food is a cut above as well.
I had my 30th birthday party at the loft recently. A fantastic venue for a party, we had an area reserved for us with plenty of space and with the main part of the bar being so busy on Saturday nights, necessary of you're having an event. The events team were easy to deal with and very accommodating in the lead up to the event. This venue is a good blend between pub and club and manages to not be pretentious, which so many places are now. The cocktails at the Loft are delicious and with 241 before 8pm on the night of my event (Saturdays) it was a great way to start the night. The lights were a little bright before 8pm but after they turned them down, it was the perfect setting. You could talk to people easily but there was a lot of atmosphere. Later on the dj had some great tunes playing to dance to. I just wish they stayed open past 1.30pm because honestly my guests and I didn't want to leave!
Having just moved to Clapham, I thought I would try to Loft having read some good things online. The entrance is a little unassuming, but once you get inside it looks very cosy, lots of nice leather sofas and chairs. The staff were welcoming, but the drinks were excellent, and great value with the 241 deals. The Passionfruit Cosmo was excellent, as was the Spiced Lemongrass Collins which was recommended to me by the bartender.
I think I may have found my new local.
I booked a table at the Loft for a Xmas do, and was very impressed. Their comunication in advance was excellent, which meant everything went smoothly on the night. The staff were lovely, the food very good, and the cocktails quite dangerous as they went down so easily.
We booked a room in advance prior to Xmas and were pleasantly surprised...drinks were reasonable and wine very quaffable and the food was great. As a bonus the music and dancing was better than our own Xmas party at a hotel...so well done
I wish it were possible to rate this place as 0 star. I went here Saturday lunchtime and the service was pretty crap... Staff were rude and it took aaaaaages to get drinks and food (I'm talking half hour to an hour for a bottle of prosecco and bowl of humus!!)... I'm not sure why as we were the only table in the restaurant. However, by far the worst part of our experience was the response from the manager to our email of complaint. My friend's email was incredibly polite - she was simply trying to point out to the manager why we had been disappointed to give the chance for these areas to be improved in the future. The manager's response was bitter, b*tchy and accused my friend of lying!! I will never go back to this hell hole and would advise others to do the same!!
I booked a space a the loft for our Engagement drinks. The service at the Loft is excellent. I particularly liked the fact that we were contacted regularly before the night to sort out everything we wanted in advance. The night went very smoothly, the staff were attentive but not overly so, and the cocktails were to die for.
Many thanks for a great night.
The drinks at the Loft are first class, a cut above anything south of the river.
Went to the Loft for a Friends Birthday. Lovely staff, De-li-cious drinks, food was pretty good too. Hard to fault.
We booked the Loft for a birthday celebration and were not dissapointed. The staff were friendly and helpful, there was a great atmosphere and good music.
We didn't book the restaurant but ordered food from the bar, a good choice of bar food and cocktails were available and we had a great night. Highly recommended.
I had a great time here, celebreating my 29th birthday. The staff were attentive and helpful, and the area I had reserved was just the right size for my party. The drinks were great, as was the music. Thank you.
Good hidden gem of a bar. I like the fact that it is missed by a lot of the Inferno teenie bopper crowd who live in infernos and revolution.
Good space, great for a party...
I booked a table in the bar at the Loft last Friday for my boyfriends birthday. The staff were very helpful showing us to our area when we arrived, and having table service was a plus. We ordered some sharer plates which were a cut above your average bar fare, and at £15 for 5 dishes, were very good value for money. The drinks, however where the stars of the show. We had various cocktails, all of which were excellent. Also the atmosphere late on was great.
All in all, a brilliant night out.
Lovely bar, with amazing cocktails are freindly and helpful staff.
Maybe nice for a drink but they serve the worst breakfast/brunch in the world! After 20min waiting for our drinks (2 tea, 2 hot choc), food arrived COLD after an hour waiting! only 2 tables were occupied so not very busy! asked to reheat the scramble eggs and beans, still came back cold! and the worst of all the poached eggs were overcooked so not liquid and they serve the grey disgusting part of the salmon, more white than pink! AVOID BRUNCH!
