The People's Republic Bar & Kitchen

A populist destination if there was one, The People’s Republic is ideal for meeting friends during the week, with its big square room, comfortable chairs & well-spaced tables, all dressed up in hip, urban garb (think funky posters plastered over industrial brick & cement walls). Come the weekend, it morphs into a full-on Clapham party house, with queues down the street. The emphasis is on the drinks, with a serious list of bottled beers & a heady mix of cocktails on offer as well as a modest selection of wines; for those needing some nutritional blotting paper, the menu promises easy eats – burgers, sharing tapas plates & the like.
