The Merchant in Wandsworth

Wonderful place, great for sports, Andy was great

I spent New Year's Eve here and was impressed by the bar staff’s excellent service. However, the DJ's outdated playlist was a letdown, and not playing Auld Lang Syne at midnight was a major oversight. Honestly, a Spotify playlist would have been a better choice than DJ Mike.

Lovely place, Mitch was fantastic, he gave great recommendations and service really amplifying the ambience of the pub making it an unforgettable experience.

Always friendly & a lovely place to visit. Shout out to all the staff inc. Jada, Mitch, Blu.

Great pub in Clapham junction to watch sport.

Good pub to watch sport in - we went in there Saturday and watch rugby and football. They did double book our table for a bit which was annoying so we only got on the table as the football was kicking off however they did give us a round of drinks to make up for it. Be warned - it can get very hot in there when it is busy even in November!

Alice B. & Jada with top class service at the bar🔥

Had a lovely time at the pub. I was seated and served by Mitch, who was very attentive and made sure we had a great night!

Had a great time recently at Merchant! Mitch was super attentive and all staff were friendly and welcoming. Would happily return!

Great atmosphere and a fun time. Our server Mitch treated us very well and recommended some delicious drinks and food! Would come again!

I went to the merchant of Battersea for a Christmas party on a Tuesday. I was dubious about the quality of the party given work had selected the single worst day of the week for it- however how wrong I was- Mich and Elise blew my socks off and made the night!! They were so attentive, the quality of the pints was second to none and they always served me with a smile! I can’t recommend this place enough!! Forget Ibiza, forget Pacha, forget Ministry of Sound- The Merchant of Battersea is where it’s at. P.s- can I get a gold card membership for the place? Cheers!

Always a good time at the Merchant! Loads of great beers on tap and the staff are very welcoming. Mitch is very attentive and takes care in looking after everyone.

Fantastic night here every time I come! The Merchant won’t let you down! Highlights of the night were definitely Mitch and Elise.. made our night 100x better! Also shout out to the chefs!

We came here for Sunday Roast, the food was perfect. Elise was our server. She was wonderful.

Charlie was fantastic and made sure we were catered to

Great service and great choice of food !

I went to the Merchant the other day to watch the Rugby, had such a lovely time! What a place. The service was amazing. Made me feel at home. Big props to the staff, especially Elise, Mitch, and Jada. Will definitely be back!

Great for live music - Will is awesome. Toilets were a bit of a disaster (men’s weren’t working and long q for ladies). Staff satisfactorily friendly.

Limited menu but great quality. Very fresh home made

Came in for a few drinks, had a really good time. Great service from bar staff

Cannot speak more highly of the whole team working at the Merchant last night. A challenging few hours for the staff with a young female falling rather unwell onsite. The duty of care and proactive response shown should be standard but it is not always the case in pubs/bars especially on a busy Saturday night. The staff went above and beyond to ensure the best outcome possible for the individual. Their patience and kindness didn’t go unnoticed. A massive thank you to the team, will definitely be returning to soak up the good drinks and enjoyable live music in the future.

This place double charged me and left me out of pocket of 53 £. So I wrote to them and they accepted responsibility and said they would refund me. I thought great . This is all in email. Unfortunately Dexter reneged on his promise this went back and forth. He said he sent it to head office but he and the company just thought I would forget it. This can happen to you …also to the employees of this less than reputable establishment..be careful…if they do this to a customer think about them not paying your wages. Really poor, I expected more from Dexter but he is a poor manager and an even lesser person. What goes around comes around.

Great bar. The food is good, the atmosphere after work is very pleasant, they have events with live bands, show football (that i dont enjoy but a lot of people do), and is overall very pleasant. Very extensive drink menu as well.

Charlie was in charge and helping my partner and I who only popped in for a drink. He was amazing, we landed up staying for another 6 drinks, a starter , a main and a desert! All his recommendations which turned out to be 10/10 and would literally come back here just to have Charlie’s unbelievable service, professionalism, friendliness and ‘going the extra mile’ attitude again! I loved every minute! Thank you Charlie!!

Charlie the bartender was fantastic, just knew exactly when to recommend something; saw we were out of napkins and just brought them over, needed another drink he was there to ask. Just an all round top bloke and really made the place such a fantastic experience. Charlie you’re the best, we’ll be back!

So much fun! Had the best table for the England game and Dexter was brilliant all night giving us water and making sure we were looked after. Thank you!!

Watched England semi final for the euros here, excellent atmosphere with loads of screens. Service was great as well despite the pub being packed!!

Thank you to Dexter for helping us arrange a big table for friends for the game this weekend! The pub had an amazing atmospehre. Would highly recommend.

Where it began I can't begin to know when But then I know it's growin' strong Was in the spring And spring became the summer Who'd have believe you'd come along? Hands Touchin' hands Reachin' out Touching me, touchin' you Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined To believe they never would

I visited The Merchant Pub of Battersea on one of their live music nights. During the evening I was subjected to verbal homophobic abuse by 2 young male customers. The first male's accomplice then joined In -he came over and invaded my personal space and started repeatedly touching me while laughing out aloud. I told the second male that homophobic abuse is a hate crime and is taken very seriously by the police and the criminal justice system. The second male's blonde female girlfriend then joined in and started threatening and abusing me. I asked the duty security guard for help and shockingly, not only did he refuse to assist me...he BLAMED ME for being victim to the homophobic abuse!!!!! Thankfully the duty manager then intervened. This is the second time I have been subjected to very upsetting homophobic abuse at The Merchant Pub of Battersea. To my fellow members of the LGBTQIA + community...please beware during The Merchant's live music nights. They have a certain proportion of regular clientele who are nasty and very homophobic at this pub, and are looking to intimidate, threaten and victimise members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I feel very sad that this is the second time this has happened to me at The Merchant Pub of Battersea on the day of PRIDE when the rest of the world is celebrating diversity and PRIDE. Does the owner of The Merchant Pub of Battersea understand that customers whi subject LGBTQIA + customers to homophobic abuse in your pub are committing a serious hate crime.

Came to the Merchant to watch the Euros. Atmosphere was electric. Can’t wait to be back for the knock stages!!!

Good pub to watch the football during the Euros - also dog friendly!

The ambience - electric, the new menu - delightful, the staff - full of personality and life. A great great institution, incredible vibe, exquisite beer (Asahi). I’ll definitely be back (shock).

Had a great time over the weekend, the live music is great and the staff were really friendly.

The staff were so friendly and we had such a fun night here 🎉 Special thanks to Dexter for looking after us ☺️ will definitely return soon!

Good local pub and great deals on a Monday!

Amazing place for a fun night, chilled daytime or some sport! Staff where so attentive and we had such a fun night will deffo be back soon

Such a great atmosphere, good vibes all around from the staff and clientele. Blu and Dexter are doing an amazing job. Love the live music too

Amazing service 10/10 would definitely recommend. Especially the new cocktail menu absolute upgrade.

Unreal pub, perfect for sports and entertainment, has something to offer everyday!

THE BEST LIVE MUSIC. Saturday night the band was unreal: serving legend, serving icon, serving bangers. Dancefloor was alight my brothers. You will NOT regret coming here to mosh out with your broskis. Drinks also spot on, good value. 10s across the board

Great pub for sports and always a good atmosphere when there’s music!!

Really nice looking pub. Everyone enjoyed their food.

Great live Music on a Saturday evening

Wow lovely crowd. Food fantastic. Highly recommended

Great place especially when there is live music. We loved it. Will definitely recommend

Mitch, what can I say…. Jubel is one hell of a pint.🇳🇿🇳🇿

My friend and I popped into the merchant for a drink after dinner. There was a live band in playing which was great. After the live band they continued to play some music as it was time to start finishing up our drinks as it was closing time. The manager on duty kindly said we could finish our drinks and did not kick us out. Unfortunately I can not remember his name ( date : Saturday 9th of March) thank you to that manager it was very kind of you. Another thank you to Anna one of the bar staff who served us drinks she was super friendly and made an effort to interact with us. She was great and super friendly and should be acknowledge for her service and friendliness with customers as it was not only with us but everyone she served. We will definitely return. Natalia

Oscar was amazing. Great service

Mitch is the best bloke here. Best pub in junction

Mitch is my literal hero - cheers me up everytime I come in would love to share 50 million pints with that lovely lovely Aussie bloke

I love this pub! Great for watching sport and they have loads of screens. Great atmosphere, lovely staff and awesome food too - not just your standard pub menu - would recommend the poutine fries! 👌

Superb atmosphere and ambience in the pub for a rugby game. Bar staff worked very hard and served efficiently, especially Blu!

Great pub, nice atmosphere for six nations and Blu really made our day!

Really lovely time, Blue provided great service

Blu gave fantastic service. Very chatty and seemed like an overall great guy. A great pint of Guinness which was sooo needed

Awesome! Might have been a tad imbibed singing What's Up by 4Non Blondes but I absolutely loved it, the band were amazing!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Good floor staff and very bad food

I love that it has both a no-alcohol beer AND a lower alcohol beer on draft, so I can enjoy a few pints without worrying about drinking too much. Lucky Strike is the considered no-alcohol at 0.5%, and Rosa Blanca is lower alcohol at 3.4%.

The food was disgusting. We ordered various things and the buttermilk chicken was smelly, it smell to off. The calamari were tasteless and the same with the fish and chips. Very disappointed with the food.

Nettes Lokal! Sehr Freundlicher Service, gute auswahl an Bieren!

What a change since the refurbishment. The pub looks great. Service and food are spot on. Will definitely come back soon.

We used to live near the pub before. Had moved away few years ago. It was great to come back here. Great service and lovely staff

nice place to meet friends, professional service, menu rich in various types of food, I recommend it, see you soon the merchant

What a cracking place, great vibes and good drink choice! Definitely go on a Friday night

We stopped in to watch the Arsenal defeat Brentford and we’re glad to be among other Gunners. Our waitress was great with draft and food orders despite it being busy. Our pub fair was good. I had fish & chips.

Recently refurbished this is a good place to watch sport and has a decent beer selection. Pints could be cheaper.

Great spot - live music, good deals during the week and good spot for friends!! Watched the world cup rugby and the vibe was great!!

Oscar served us here, great service great pub had a lovely time

Good service - staff there are so cool. Food is alright, beers are good!

We managed to book a table for 12 for the England rugby Semi-Final which is a result in itself (better than the rugby) and despite it being expectedly busy we were well looked after throughout and never without drinks. Great atmosphere to watch the rugby and would definitely recommend. A few of our party also had food and all had positive things to say about what they ate. We were so pleased we left a bottle of Prosecco to the girls that looked after us.

Friendly staff, great place to watch the rugby!

Decent food and vibe good. Pretty poor service.

Reiltin was an incredible person and her service was impeccable. I’ve been coming here for years and have never had such good service!!! Thank you!

It's not a bad bar but felt the service was a bit naff. We came in for a few beers and to watch the rugby, big empty space at the back reserved from 5pm so they let us sit there until 4:30pm when they asked us to move to clear and get ready for the group - seemed excessive but alright. But at 6:30pm when the reservation still hadn't turned up and we weren't allowed to go back we decided to bounce. Won't return.

Great refurb, great food and great service

Friendly staff, Good atmosphere. Great pub for watching sport.

Been to this pub many times over the past few years and the refurb only makes it better. Excellent staff, food and drinks. Ideal to watch any sport.

Great service and atmosphere! Perfect for watching the footy as well!

The best pub ever! Came here for the rugby and had the best table service. Also the pizza was top tier. Highly recommend.

Table service amazing. We were here for the rugby. Awesome atmosphere. Nice work.

Watched Ireland vs New Zealand here. Brilliant atmosphere, great view of the rugby and special mention to the friendly staff that gave us table service all evening!

Amazing service, go for the rugby. Best table service I’ve ever had

Best pub in Clapham for a match! Great service and great company. 10/10

Great food and perfect for watching the footy at the weekend.

This pub is awesome! The cocktails are amazing and the atmosphere makes you want to stay here all day every day! Staff arwso personable, feels like they're an old friend, especially the big bearded guy!!

Great pub with good selection of beers. Good place to watch the sport. Place looks great after their recent refurb

Great food, great choice of drinks and great atmosphere, with multiple screens for sport too. Highly recommend!

Sports and beer lively atmosphere.

Reiltin!!! You are the best! I have never felt more welcome at a bar/ pub in my life than how you made me and my friend feel! I am local to the area and I come back for you! The customer experience and the whole interaction! You go above and beyond for me and my friends My partner and I love visiting you and the bar! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

Watched England vs Argentina for the World Cup with a booked table. The service was impeccable and when one of our party knocked some drinks off a tray with his hairy hands they kindly replaced the order! Will be booking again for sure

The long haired fake Asian looking don is a very good bar tender

6* from me all round. I have a brain injury and bartender, Marlon, helped me out by taking my beer out for me. Very nice fella as well.

Unbelievable spot for the rugby and a few beers.

Had a good time here today for the Taylor swift brunch.

The place looks great after the refurbishment. Excellent customer service from Dexter. Highly recommended.

The Merchant of Battersea was truly a magnificent dining experience. The atmosphere was electric while the service was to die for. Reiltin was great at helping me decide on the best pint for me out of the many different options! Overall a great experience.

Food was great, the place had a wonderful atmosphere and Reiltin on the bar was amazing helping us decide on our drinks

Really wanted this place to be great again. The only positive from my visit is that the new refurb has drastically improved the aesthetics. Food was poor and service was, quite frankly, terrible. The attitude of the senior members of staff was even worst than that of their employees. Arrogance and dismissiveness is probably not the correct way to approach customer issues/complaints
