Historical version 1 of Tooting Tram And Social, SW17 9NA (view current version)

A cavernous but pleasant pub in a former tramshed, just near Tooting Broadway Station.

Despite being a former Scream pub, this has been taken over by Antic. The result is another in their familiar genre of mismatched furniture, quirky antique shop fittings and relaxed ambience, but transformed by the vast warehouse-like dimensions of the space. There's generous seating in booths and banquettes along the wall opposite the bar, with eight or more tables in the middle of the room, couches near the front door and more on a raised area at the back (where there's an ornate fireplace). There's far more seating upstairs as well, though it wasn't necessary to use on a Wednesday evening visit.

The bar has three handpulls, all dispensing Purity ales (Pure Gold at £2.90/pint, Mad Goose, and Ubu). They have several basic lagers on draught, including Grolsch Weizen and Amstel, but nothing spectacular. There are however plenty of interesting bottled beers including several American ones.
