The Bedford

A small diamond! Local but with a hidden surprice... What's out though, may overcharge u for the drinks. Busy, fllirty, mixed Saturday night... A must 8,5/10

Comedy nights are brilliant here. A great opportunity to see some of the top comedians, along with up and comers in a small quirky venue!

The food is good plus plenty of baby classes during the day - the comedy club for parents is great fun.

The most amazing bar in balham! Staff are really friendly and selection of beers are amazing. Would highly recommend a visit.

Great for a beer in the sun after work even if it is on a busy road . Best sun trap there is around between 5-7.

One of my favourite pub in Balham. Always a good fun and late night .

Great pub . Very spacious and good for groups . Club is good too.

'The Banana ' in the back room is amazing for live comedy and cabaret!

Great live entertainment and a very chilled hangout in the day.

Great pub , loads of rooms, go get lost.

Try the chorizo scotch egg and you'll never be happy with an ordinary scotch egg again

I really enjoyed spending time there, I would recommend it to everybody

Nice atmosphere with a great little event space out back.

Nice cocktail bar vibe in the back.

Argentinian tango every Thursday & Sunday and the Lindy Hop on Tuesday :) Read more

It is also a legendary live music venue from Mon-Thurs (usually free entry) - has discovered acts like Paolo Nutini, James Morrison, Amy Macdonald and many moore www.thebedford.com

Great pub . Friendly staff , relaxed atmosphere

Great pub with amazing live music

Music , ales , food, atmosphere

Very chilly and no atmosphere (visited in the daytime)

Great location and good food

They appear to have a parent and kids rave. Glow sticks, the lot... In a Sunday afternoon.

Nice staff . Disgusting toilets - floor 1cm deep in water with floating toilet paper. Both toilets affected. Let's be honest - the staff preparing food probably use them.

Great local pub , always a good atmosphere. Salsa dancing , quizes, comedy , pop-up club... All good!

Nice solid pub , has lots of entertainment but I am yet to sample this!

Decent boozer, food atmosphere

Definitely some sort of civilised dogging venue!

Head there on a Saturday for excellent comedy . If you don't pre-book tickets, make sure you get there early (7pm) to get tickets on the door.

A mouse trap placed on top on of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep.

Fantastic music on week nights in the theatre lovely food too!!

Great pub but no sky sports , not a bad thing but good to know in advance.
