What makes The Pod in Wimbledon so unique is our attention to detail with our customer service policy. Whether it's your b-day, a christmas party or you just fancied a drink we all make your night special in every way possible. Great upstairs area if you fancy a quiet cocktail and a delicious freshly prepared clay oven baked Pizza after work. Downstairs in the basement bar "The Escape Pod" as we like to call it that used to be Turkish baths modernised into something special with a newly refurbished Dj box and dance floor playing the very best in House.

After walking around Wimbledon and soaking up the festivities of the tennis, my friend and I…read moredecided to stop here for a cocktail or three.... We immediately loved the decor and outdoor seating and decided to sit outside and people watch while we drank and had a catch up. They offer table service and our waiter was really nice and able to offer recommendations. Drinks are on the pricier side, but the cocktails were delicious and I suppose, it is Wimbledon! Later into the evening, reserved signs were put onto all the tables and the place really filled up. It seems this is a popular local spot. The atmosphere really got going and I would say it is a great place to meet friends in the evening. There is a young vibe, all the staff are fairly young but the customers were of a more mature age.

The location is…read moregreat, it is right in the Wimbledon Village and the world famous Wimbeldon Tennis ground is within seeing distance. I can imagine that during the Wimbledon tennis season, it must be absolutely packed as there is plenty of outdoor seating and it simply has a great vibe. I wish I lived closer to it, i would definitely go more often. The decor is simplistic, modern and looks brilliant. You may think that is would be quite expensive being right next to the tennis ground and Wimbledon being quite expensive in general, but prices are the same as any other lush London bar. The service is fantastic, everybody seemed cheeful and smiles were everywhere, when in such an environment, it rubs off on you, so I had a great time on my one and only visit. It is not as if Wimbledon is just around the corner to me, so I wont be going in the foreseeable future, but look forward to my next trip. Wimbldon is a great area, and Ecplipse is somewhere to chill out after a longs day walking and shopping there.

This is the first time I have ever been here, didn't even know it existed!! The actual entrance is…read morearound the back not on the high street, this means that parking can be problematic, If you are lucky you will find somewhere on the side roads which have no yellow lines. There is a car park next to the venue, however it belongs to the offices near by so park there at your own risk. It strikes me as a good venue for artists and audiences alike. The artists can perform in an environment which allows for a certain amount of intimacy. There is a bar area which has seats, so if you prefer to be near the bar and watch the show you can, however there is a glass screen between the bar area and the main floor so what you would hear I don't know. The food they serve is to cater for a wide range of tastes, fish & chips, jerk chicken (which if you are like me needs some proper spice to it) and some salads. The portion size was good and i did not feel the need for desert, although nothing took my fancy!! They had the usual variety of wines, beers, sprits along with some cocktails. The time it took to get served was ok no long waits and it was packed. Its always nice to not have to go to the bar to order your drinks so the table service was very much appreciated!! We witnessed Michelle John, who I had not seen on the Voice and she most certainly can sing!!

It has a small dance area but plays really decent music. Not cheesey music at all, mostly old skool rnb and garage. Definitely make your body grooving! No food is served at this place but the drinks does make up for it! ( eating is cheating...right?) The price is reasonable for London especially the sharer. Although it said for 3- 4 to share. We went with 11 girls everyone does get at least more than afew mouthful! What is also amazing if you booked and reseved table the barman does look after you. They also will keep topping water up for you, which it makes a lot of different in a hot dance floor. I teally enjoy my night with my girls. It also you don't have to be blasted to have a goodtime. Also forgot to mention, in the ladies toilet as you walk in don't be alarm to see dismantle babies nakely framing the mirror. It was very bizzard!

The staff were pretty top notch, minus the odd grumpy bartender who clearly wanted to be anywhere but there.

We want to come back JUST because of the service. Drinks: there are plenty of options for cocktails and everything is made in house, so you're not getting cheap mixers. We both ordered the naked and famous and we loved the flavors. Ambiance: what a cool scene! The entrance is slightly hidden, so hopefully my video will show you how to get in. Once you get in, you're surrounded by lights, flowers, and tons of pillows. Very comfy and fantastic music. I highly recommend!

The decor is vintage, but off-kilter, psuedo-ColonialVictorian decor, a very good cocktail (and beer) list, and the staff very agreeable. We enjoyed several fresh-takes-on-old-fashioned cocktails as well as a sampling of dishes - from breakfast to dinner - that we found to be classic, but not cliché. I'm looking forward to the prospect of another evening well spent at this fine establishment the next time I find myself in London.

Everywhere you look, there are quirky decorations - maps, stuffed animals and quirky lampshades abound. I think the theme is Victorian gentleman traveller? The throwback to that era continues with the considerable leatherbound menu and the staff addressing you as sir. If you still can't find a libation which will meet your exacting tastes, they will concoct a bespoke cocktail based on your preferences Just a shame it's in an area of London I dont visit that often

The surfers paradise frozen cocktail, laden with passion fruit, mango, and pineapple, made me feel like I'd been transported to the islands. Didn't try the food here but the menu looked like standard pub fare, nothing gastro about it. Beer pong table was put away around 8pm to make room for the slowly infiltrating dance party ready crowds. All Bar One next door seemed to be more populated in comparison. Don't know what was going on because (based on my friends commentary, not from experience), the place is usually packed by this hour. Maybe just an off night or maybe everyone was busy watching the bonfire weekend fireworks display. Bartenders were free pouring it up, which is a welcome change from the precise measuring they're all about in this country. My bartender opted to go hard with the theatrical aspect of bartending, including plenty of cheesy jokes and fun glasses in the air moves. They brought us over a round of free shots to end the night, which was a nice gesture, but not an overly generous one given our group had cumulatively ordered at least 30 drinks. Cell signal and wifi signal were both weak, which was a slight annoyance. Decent mix of new and old tunes, but they definitely had their playlist on repeat. After hearing every song about 3 times over, we called it a night and headed out.

They also have this cool separate area which would be so great for a party. It's not 100% private but it's off to the side. I imagine it gets pretty busy on a weekend.
