πŸ‘πŸ‘ Such a great space. Great service, great music, great food, all plant-based. Also has a small vinyl records shop and they also have live music on certain nights. Cozy vibes. I had the Sunday roast which was delicious + huge portion. My friends each had a huge salad of the day. Will happily return....

It's a winner.

    Super friendly, welcoming & coupled with great grass roots music, vegan & plant based refreshments what is not to like? Fantastic addition to our High Street. Did I mention all the other wonderful attributes this venture brings? Check them out. Positive, positive.....😊.

    I walked past this place several times meaning to check it out now I have I wish I had gone earlier. This is a great concept but executed well. A bar with food that is vegan and healthy but also a kid of coffee shop vybe too ! Great friendly staff that really go out of their way to make you welcome. I did not get the chance to see a band play but check their website for events. There is plent of seating and tables and a great selection of drinks and food. I ordered a beer and vegan hotdog it was fantastic and reasonably priced. As you all know I double check for disababled friendly and if it's inclusive, which this place passes with flying colours, I was able to bring my assistant dog but all dogs are welcomed. I can see myself returning to watch live music or maybe for am afternoon coffee and cake.

    What an amazing concept. Ticks all the boxes; live music, records (vinyl), food cooked from scratch, vegan, great beers on draught . . . And amazingly friendly staff. This is such a breath of fresh air (they have virus killer air system :)

    This is a vegan restaurant. I'm a vegetarian and visited here for the first time. I visited for a baby shower, so the space was being used rather than a sit down meal. This was nice as people could order food if they wanted. The restaurant is unusual with a small record shop in it. So it brought together 2 of my favourite things, vinyl and food! We had coffee and pastries both which were great. The pastries were still warm and were delicious. Great vibe to the place. It has a stage too so bands must play here. I saw on the menu what looked like a brilliant vegan roast dinner so I will definitely be back with the family for this. It looks like fantastic value.

    I came in today with my friend and her 6month old, the food was absolutely fantastic! The staff are super friendly and easy to talk to and the atmosphere was very comfortable. I shall definitely be a repeat customer here because in my humble opinion this is one the BEST places in London for plant based options.☺️ 5Stars All Round!

    Went there Friday night. It’s a fantastic place to sit down with a group of friends to listen to budding singers . Vegan food was fresh and tasty, drinks reasonably priced. All the staff very friendly with a positive attitude. I felt that they actually enjoyed there work. Definitely recommend it and I will be going back there in a few weeks.

    Delightful venue for intimate performances .A welcoming atmosphere and truly a lounge feel eclectically furnished. The Vegan menu was wonderful and the beverage selection also. To be so close to such talented musicians was a privilege and surrounded by an informed and knowledgeable audience just added to the evening. The staff were friendly, hardworking and helpful. A must for any music lover who enjoys excellent food and drink. Best to keep updated on the website.

    Staff were arguably the friendliest bar staff I've come across. The three ladies behind the bar were first class. The bar is really quirky, love the decor and the reclaimed furniture. Draft beer is not mainstream like you would find in Spoons and prices are around Β£5.50 a pint. That said, they taste really nice and the wonderful lady behind the bar allowed a couple of tasters before ordering. Its worth it for the change of scenery. Food is all plant based, this pleased my vegan friend, but the 'beyond burger' IMO tasted of nothing. Dropped a star as the live singer was absolutely awful. Would certainly revisit though if back in Sutton

    I'll start by confessing that we did not visit The Sound Lounge for a musical performance (which is their main offering!). However, the atmosphere was very good and I can only imagine it being the perfect setting for musical evenings. It has a very independent feel (for example almost all tables are different and the chairs used are a motley mix of the used and the art deco), which gives it a distinct character. The food selection is slightly limited - with courgettes, peppers, breads making frequent appearances - but no real complaints there. Their chips were particularly noteworthy. They had written a note written on a blackboard that said good food comes to those who wait. They weren't joking.

    Nice venue, great place for top quality local and touring live music acts. Nice stage with good views from everywhere, coupled with nice stage, modern lighting and cutting edge sound. Eclectic seating - old school desks and tables amongst sofas and chairs. The place is vegan for food and drink, though I'm fine with that and there are great beers, spirits and wines, and the food menu caters from snacks to proper meals, all created in the kitchen. Service can be a little slow when it's busy. Stars increased to 5 (from 4) as last few visits have shown they are consistently good.

    A fantastically inclusive venue working hard to minimise its impact on the environment. So many great green initiatives and great atmosphere too. It really is a wonderful place for nourishing your soul

    One of the best evenings ever! The staff couldn't do enough to help and THIS is what live music is all about! Please, if you're in the area or from the area (or if you're neither, make a special trip) support these guys by showing up, have something to eat, something to drink and listen to some of the best music around on the music scene today. Thank you for looking after us - we'll be back!

    Really nice pub in the middle of High Street in Sutton. Great live music almost everyday, if you like it is the right place where to pass you evening. The service is fabulous, the ladies working here are all the the time focused to give the perfect serve all the time. The menu is a short one but is really good, pizzas and bruschetta deserve a try.

    We just happened to be there for diner around 18 but we discover the kitchen would have opened at 19. It's OK, we understood and that's their policy. The team was helpful and amazing. They gave us information and service was brilliant once the kitchen opened. The music was amazing too, even though we discovered we had to book online and we didn't, but no pressure at all on us and we enjoy beautiful music, food and experience. They would definitely see us again. Thank you team🀟

    Atmosphere was good lovely place. Waitress was very nice but the food was not good. We had booked for a bottomless brunch but the food that came out was not great salami on half a hot dog room with cheese and mustard was disgusting and the mac and cheese bits were rubbery and it was generally jot ip to par compared to some of the other places I have been they need to rethink the food seriously!! Drag Queens were great and fun and I can't thank the waitress enough. Unfortunately I won't be returning for a bottomless brunch.

    Fantastic local music venue hosting everything from local to international musicians. Great atmosphere, superb vegan food and a vinyl record store to boot. Highly recommended!

    Great venue with a friendly team and a great atmosphere. Lovely food and drinks. The confidence-boosting messages in the ladies toilets are what prompted me to write this review though- such a wonderful thing to do ❀️

    Love the ethos of the organisation! The staff are always friendly and nothing is too much to ask. All main meals tried have been excellent. The record collection and the music event have been fantastic too. My only qualms are the paper straws without asking (one less waste!), and the soggy chips (100% of times we had it)! Everything else is brilliant!

    Just LOVE this venue. I've been telling everyone about their amazing Sunday roasts. Vegan Yorkshire puddings are a little difficult to get right, but their kitchen staff have nailed it! Such friendly and attentive staff, great music, and really lovely atmosphere, and good vibes all round!

    Wouldn't describe it as a Concert Hall? More like a little Cabaret Venue for live music. Paid a visit on Saturday afternoon 18th September, unfortunately no live or piped music. Will need to go back to experience an evening out. The lady who served me was friendly and the chap I think running vinyl sales were both friendly and helpful. We need these kind of venues to stimulate talent.

    This is an amazing place for chill out with friends. You can find plenties of vinyl records there. You will love this place if you are a fan of vinyl. Staff members are very nice. It is just right at the middle of the high street of Sutton. You are hanging around Sutton, why not give it a chance?

    A nice friendly place ,very surprising nowadays. Affable staff ,nice atmosphere. A breath of fresh air for sutton, which makes me think "yer how that last. Only complaint, as with all these gimmicks the prices. They bang on about "oh were vegan ',and boy let you know . But the prices for two pints ,Β£10,50 I think .and you wonder why pubs and purveyors of alcohol, are hated. Take a large wallet ,and smile .
