Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Been there once. Awful experience. Booked a party and paid £50 deposit to Sam the owner. He has completely disappeared with the money and is ignoring all calls and texts and emails. Very sad to do something like this during this time.

We booked our Christmas party for work, 50+ people. Was promised our own DJ, Buffet food was disappointing and certainly not enough for the amount of people who attended. The smell on entering the down stairs function room was rank not sure if it was dampness or drains maybe bit of a mixture. 1 bar staff member knocked into my colleague on 3 separate occasions not once apologizing. Very disappointed, overall it never felt like we were on a Christmas work party just a bulk standard night out, needless to say I and my work colleagues will not be returning to this venue any time soon.

Very uptight bar staff. Made a big deal of one of us accidentally turning off a touch lamp with an elbow and wouldn’t listen to us explaining why. Ridiculous reason to have a go at paying customers. On that note, the cocktails are weak with less alcohol than there should be.

Cocktails good. Staff seemed nice. Didn't expect to get punched in the face for sitting in "the wrong seat"
Not impressed with the clientele. I really hope this was a dismal exception.

Manager was unnecessarily rude, not quite sure why he was so aggressive. Him being racist and homophobic showed his true colours. Please don’t go here not worth it.

Visited the bar with my friends last week Saturday had a really great time. The cocktails were really nice the staff were friendly especially the door staff they were very welcoming and gave the place a good vibe. Overall I would definitely come back however the music needs to be more up to date and louder. Thank you Bar Social for a great night !!

A hidden gem on the Lavender Hill, just up from Clapham Junction Station. Nestled between the Sugar Cane bar and a newagents, you could miss it. And this would be your loss. The strict no teenagers is a blessing.
Bar Social relishes in its license to be innovative, at the bar the drinks menu is on Tablet PCs. In the corner is a poker table which can't fail to impress even if you don't play poker. The little upstairs sitting area is just that, LITTLE... which meant at 6 foot 2 inches I had to be careful not to bump my head on the ceiling. But, far from being inconvenient, I found it rather quaint.The bartender is pleasantly chatty while he mixes your drink.
