Souk

Once again I fell for it, in an attempt to continue my night I avoided Mosquito bar and came here – now it's not bad as a venue I just find it incredibly busy, not the best clientelle and little pretentious.

Always rammed, good music but no fun, there's no friendly vibe like you get with other bars – too crammed and I need to cross it off my list – maybe I'm getting old!

I went to SOUK last night for a friends Birthday and we had such an amazing time the food and drink (Pornstar Martini) was great the service was great and the Bartenders were super HOT :)

Will certainly be coming back, this weekend.

Cant believe i hadn't been here before! its just the kind of place i love! Vibrant, trendy, great crowd, cocktails looked really good but i was sticking to the champagne.

I was on a table a friend had reserved for his birthday. we were looked after brilliantly by a really friendly and fun waitress.

we had plans to go somewhere else after a couple of hours at Souk but abandoned them because we where having such a good time where we were!

the atmosphere was great and built up more and more through the night!

great night!

Souk is a jewel in the sometimes depressing London! Stepping inside I felt like id escaped the greyness and the miserable British weather and entered an oasis of warmth and comfort. I loved the look of the place and the feeling of being in Aladdin’s den or somewhere exotic like Morocco but with the modern twist of the music (great mix of classic and commercial tracks from the DJ) and also the great crowd that came in that night. I came on a Friday not long after a hard, dull days work and was able to leave all my bad feelings out side and just have a great time! The waiting staff were really friendly and made me feel welcome and that I’d come to the right place. The cocktails made by the lovely bar men were amazing! I didn’t try the food but it looked delicious and I will definitely be trying it next time!
The night started off quite calmly and I had a nice table to sit with my friend. As the night went on and it got busier the atmosphere encouraged us to leave our seats to dance and mingle with the crowd.
I saw they make bookings for parties so I cant wait until my birthday so I have an excuse to throw one there!

I usually come here mid-week as it is something different in the otherwise chain and plain Clapham. Drinks are delicious, the food is mezze, quick and delicious. The decor is a very open entrance with long soft couch like benches around the circumference of the bar. The staff are attentive with table service and very helpful. The food is priced so that you can easily buy 4 items and not spend a fortune.

I recommend this place for midweek dates either with someone new or someone you've been with for a while. I would not come here for the food. Come here for the drinks and the food helps soak up the cocktails. The food is not special. To call it authentic is probably a step too far. The music is very Buddha Bar eclectic but probably predictably so.
