Great location, right next to the station in the beautiful Balham. Looks great from the outside, and good vibe downstairs around the bar in the evening. Great music choice. We were a large party celebrating a birthday. Awful service with the waiter trying to split up friendship groups and husbands and wives so all ‘bottomless brunch’ guests up one end; which made zero difference to the way they served or the way they sorted the bill - so the only reason for this was because they didn’t trust their guests not to share drinks. Pathetic, the people not drinking were either driving, pregnant or t-total. Our booking was for 3.30. We didn’t eat until 5.30!!!! 2 hours is simply unacceptable although I must say the food came out hot and delicious!!! And it was over half hr until I got my first pint. A real shame. Sort the service, have a bit of trust in your guests, and it would be a great venue. And stop adding 12.5% service charge to the bill until you do.

Bottomless brunch was excellent. Group of 6 lads and they treated us very well for our bi annual meet up with good regular service. Even treated us to a quick session in the Karaoke booth. Excellent bar and very accommodating for a group of six lads. Thank you for and excellent evening!

Lively venue close to Balham tube, with multiple floors hosting private venues and a comedy event which I attended. Good selection of reasonably priced cocktails, a great spot for a friendly brunch or get together.

We experienced a level of service that’s becoming increasingly rare. A huge thank you to the manager Rosa and her team for providing the perfect setting for a 30th celebration. We will be back!!

Had a friends 24th birthday at the Garden venue hire to the side of The Exhibit. It was an incredible space for any party from 30-100 people! They were so hospitable, providing us with mics for karaoke and letting us arrange the room accordingly to what we desired! Fully recommend the venue as well as the staff and owners were all super friendly and willing to meet our every need! 100% will be using this venue again! Thanks for an amazing party The Exhibit!
