[[Category Young's|Young's]] pub in [[Locale Balham|Balham]].
This Young's pub in [[Locale Balham|Balham]] was refurbished in early 2008. It used to be a perfectly ordinary, perfectly decent local pub. Now, however, it has trendy furniture and loud music. Service at the bar was very quick despite the place being busy, and the Young's Special was well kept but at £3.45 it was bloody expensive. Food looked OK but nothing special.

[[DrHyde]]'s verdict: It would probably count as a very good venue if what you're after is a bar. But as I have taste, I was after a pub, not a bar, so it was merely tolerable.
