Extremely friendly staff and great food! I recently moved to Clapham and this has fast become one of my favourite places. Nice atmosphere both in the day time and the evening! Would highly recommend their Sunday roast.

Been here a few times. Pub that caters to Claphamites, with all that this urban descriptive word means. The food is OK, having tried a burger and their fish and chips I can say that they are not anything particularly special. Plus their inability to craft a martini left me rather sad, depressed and enforced me to leave the premises to find a spot that can cater to my –apparently for belle vue — exclusive taste.

The pub has had a refit, I wrote this poem about it. The Belle Vue has reopened The Bar has been cut back There are a few more extra seats So comfort there is no lack The fire place is still there But the fish tank has now gone It has a more open feel But then I could be wrong Behind the bar looks a bit cramped With a sink that does stick out And if any staff walk into it You’re sure to hear them shout There are three taps that serve real ale Only two of them are on And you have a choice of lagers From normal strength to strong The changes were not too major I’m sure you’ll love the place So instead of just walking by Pop in and show your face.

Is this more a pub or a bar? Whichever it is, it boasts a handy location, on a corner by Clapham Common Station. Great for meeting friends. The beer selection was a little boring, but The Doom Bar was in prime condition.

On my most recent visit I was very very impressed with the Belle Vue. It was busy, with all tables full, but the staff were quick and friendly. We had reserved a table to have some drinks and food on a Sunday evening. It’s nice to know there is a pub in Clapham you can rely on to serve food late into the evening, and not just a roast dinner. The place was decked out in full Christmas regalia — huge tree, delightful fairly lights and tasteful decorations. The hanging smell of mulled wine and hot pimms certainly added to the festive spirit. A very banterous game of scrabble(they have plenty of board games) next to the fire with very decent food and great company made for a fantastic festive night. Will return more regularly if they can keep this up. They had just started a movie showing at the back when we left. Nice.

Trendy Clapham pub with average Clapham Prices. The décor is attractive and there is food(individual and sharing plates) available, but for my taste it’s a little too dark and noisy when it’s busy(which it is in the evening).

The Bellevue, located at No 1 Clapham High Street is a cosy, friendly and warm ‘no-thrills’ kind of pub — to visit when you want to just have a drink, meet like-minded people or to have a chat with friends. The staff are exceptionally friendly who are highly unlikely to snub you or overlook you, even when this place gets busy on weekends. On weekends, the Bellevue is ideal for meeting your friends before heading off to the local clubs or central london, since it is located right next to Clapham Common tube station — easy to find! On Fridays they have a pretty cool live band who are able to rock the roof off the place and it tends to get comfortably packed with a fun-loving and approachable crowd who are there to have some fun. During the week, the Bellevue manages to attract a ‘post-work’ crowd who pop in for a drink or two after having battled the depths of the tube on their way home from work. They host a quiz night on Monday nights, which is a lot of fun. The Bellevue serves food which is competitively priced and is of good quality and portion sizes. As of writing, they have a new chef and have launched a new menu, including Sunday roasts which taste great with the selection of free Sunday papers. Worth a try! Drinks on offer are a selection of usual brand lagers, good selection of quality wines as well as whiskeys and to top it off a good selection of real ales, for which the Bellevue has been awarded CAMRA(Campaign for Real Ales) recognition. To summarize, the Bellevue is a nice friendly pub, with matching clientele who are there to enjoy their drink and have a chat with friends.

The Belle Vue offers a homely, but really a rather unexciting bar experience. I did go there in the middle of a Sunday so it wasn’t exactly swinging, but still. My friends who had the roast complained that it was too tough and this affected the conversation somewhat because they were always chewing their hardy beef. i appreciated the free newspapers and the big window seats though.

Belle Vue 1 is a pub that from the outside gives the impression of grandeur but that impression is lost once you enter. The pub is not shabby, it is comfortable, but I did expect a bit more when I entered. After I got over my disappointment I found the pub to have a warm vibe. I was there with a friend and we enjoyed a few drinks in a perfectly delightful environment. The Belle Vue 1 is a local pub and it was full of locals, it’s always nice to find a good local pub and since this is just across from the tube stop you won’t have to go very far.

This place on the corner always looks good with its tiffany lamps in the windows but I find the inside a let-down. I think it’s the people it attracts. Situated just across from the tube station, it’s a lot of non-locals first point of call(aside from O’Neills) and as such it lacks character. I’ve only entered once and I wouldn’t go back again. There are plenty of pubs in this area to make a visit to this one unnecessary.

I’ve been in this pub a few times and the atmosphere is really cosy and relaxed. It’s been around for a while and it’s clear to see why, it tends to attract lots of Clapham Common /Clapham locals and gets especially busy on the weekend(as most places do in Clapham). I went for a quiet drink once, though, on a Tuesday night. I liked the really down to earth atmosphere. Dim lighting illuminating the wooden furnishings made this feel like a little piece of calm in the heart of Clapham. I would go back but only on a quiet night. It’s like every other«nice» pub in London if you know what I mean. This is more a pub of convenience if you live nearby as opposed to a place you’d go out of your way for.

A busy, atmospheric crowd. It is a rowdy simple place for a drink in Clapham. It is in the heart of the clapham bars but only go here if you want nothing more than to drink.

This Pub is often overlooked by many in the area meaning that it is great to go to during the week and have a quiet catch up with a friend. It is very traditional looking, especially considering some of the younger, trendier looking bars in the area, but that in itself is no bad thing and helps it stand out. It is quite tiny though so unless you get a table you’re not inclined to hang around. The food’s always looked good, though we’ve only ever had snacks and moved on to a nearby restaurant but for the lazy amongst us having that option is a bonus.

Great, little bright pub on the corner of Clapham Southside. The Belle Vue mixes the best of traditional English pub and clean cut European bar. A great place to either grab a quick pint from a good selection, including a range of hand pulled ales. Or spend a Sunday afternoon reading the papers with a coffee.
