Drinks are on special until 8pm. Seating for dinner isn't until 8:30ish. Cocktail list is extensive and fun, and come in lovely cut-crystal glassware. We did the dinner & show ticket. We were really hungry as food didnt start until 9pm. Starters were decent, but the main vegetarian course (risotto) was like a bowl of bland soupy rice. I didn't eat more than 3 bites of it. Dessert was cheesecake and good. There are performances throughout the night, and not a bad table in the house. If you just get the "show" ticket, you will be on tall stools in the back. There was a lot of great dancing, some arial acts, and a seriously impressive magician. There were also some drunken hen parties adding to the entertainment- it was impressive how the staff kept them from disrupting things. Afterward, there was a dj in the lounge to keep the party going. Despite the terrible main course, I still thought it was a really fun night out.

I was visiting London and I looked up Things to Do. One of them mentioned cabarets, and after doing…read moresome research I concluded that it looked like Moulin Rouge, so innocent me said, THIS WILL BE A GREAT IDEA. And it was! Except for some minor stripping. But that's okay because tassels count for something, right? Anyway, yes the show was actually pretty good. It features some acrobatics, dancing, fire hula hoops, you name it. I was impressed given that the actual stage was quite small. The actors used the mezzanine quite extensively. I think of it as a very light cirque du soleil that is slightly bawdy. But I repeat, it is not a gentleman's club. In fact, the audience was either couples or groups of women. The seating is kind of weird upstairs. The room is circular so you may happen to view the show from behind the actors, which is what we did. It was still good but there were certain scenes that took place behind pillars, and it was a bit harder to view those scenes. I bought tickets for only 15 pounds (that's around $22 USD as of this writing) so it was not a bad deal.

If you are bold enough to meet anyone anywhere, I would suggest it.

Pro tip: The later the showing, the edgier the show. So, if you want to see more bared skin, I'd highly recommend showing up for the last seating.

There are a few problems here at Charlie's…read more First, this is not a Gentlemen's club. This a hostess bar. The girls chat with you and drink Champagne at minimum 165 GBP plus 50 GBP per hour for the girl. The bar tender will 'accidentally' forget the price of bottles and services in order to round up about 50-100 GBP on the final total. She will also then push for a big tip. Push, push, push. Your hostess will be attractive. There are several. However, and in the most unfortunate manner possible, they will sit across from you in the coldest least engaging manner possible. Their hope here is that their looks alone will captivate you enough for to disregard the several hundred GBP tab at the end in which you had a conversation the likes of which you could have had with the check out lady at Sainsbury's local.

The Clapham Grand has finally undergone some refurbishment. This massive venue right close to…read moreClapham Junction station was abuzz with bubbly clubbers when I arrived, and when I walked in it was easy to see why. Rumour has it that the new owners have spent £1.2m to deck the place out in opulence. While the colourful interior left me feeling a little like a colour-blind camel at a bull fight, the sound and lighting did the rest of the talking as the good vibrations of the music overtook me. Interestingly, the two main bars receive support from two satellite shooter bars, much smaller but able to service your party quite well with various shooters. However beware the shooter bars, it's common knowledge that this is where clubs make a ton of their money and too many will leave you out of pocket and thirsty for more. The Clapham Grand on the whole is a good choice for the non-fussy clubber, and I would go as far as to say to watch this space, because it's only a matter of time until some exciting promoters find the Grand again.

Candy floss, sweets. fair ground rides, actual freak show, theatre and lots and lots of bars. There's ample outside and covered seating. Subtly lit in the darkness you could see couples making out in some of the outside booths and friends perching together in stationary bumper cars. The atmosphere was chilled and upbeat. On a date night with the mrs, we booked ourselves in for Fasinating Aida. I would highly recommend you all do the same.
