GRACES BAR AND GRILL

Bar Pub Bar and grill Sports bar Live music venue Function room facility Karaoke bar

😠 We live around the corner and unfortunately this is our local pub. It's recently been refurbished but I have no idea what they spent money on. Inside, the decor is all a bit odd and it isn't sure if it's a pub or a sports bar - in reality it's neither. The staff have been extremely unfriendly on all... People often mention friendly, atmosphere, staff, good, great,

    We live around the corner and unfortunately this is our local pub. It's recently been refurbished but I have no idea what they spent money on. Inside, the decor is all a bit odd and it isn't sure if it's a pub or a sports bar - in reality it's neither. The staff have been extremely unfriendly on all three visits, without a hello or any niceties. Beer selection is a few cheap lagers and one pale ale, and they didn't have any Sauvignon Blanc available. I think it's now called Bar Fusion but all of the signs outside still say The Grace's. All in all, a terribly run place, that could be infinitely better.

    Great location and good space unfortunately it’s been designed by someone with not great interiors taste!! Reminds me of an early 00’s piss up joint! No decent atmosphere! Broken glass always scattered outside, many fights out in street we can hear living close by, It’s a shame as could be great especially with a lot of locals wanting something like this but unfortunately the environent and clientele let it down!

    First time visiting this pub and have to say its awesome , the loud lively music that plays outside at the weekend just adds to the atmosphere of the place, friendly staff and the food is so good

    A local of mine which has promise. It's conveniently located right next to Birkbeck station for ten and train and even bus at a push so Victoria London bridge crystal palace and Beckenham all easily in reach. They have tried half successfully to improve. The decor is a little better and it's a local pub a new pool table and darts present with sports showing. The strength here would be functions in the back bar which is not too bad. Pints are limited a couple of ales other pubs preferred. It's nice on a summers day though plenty of seating outside. Staff are friendly and generally quiet. DJ was playing not bad and helped the atmosphere although it's a little way to go to achieve its potential. This place has a lot of positives just not realised. More select beers, a better seating and floor arrangement with nooks perhaps and continuing to host love music and djs. Perhaps also tapas or good quality finger food would attract more custom.

    Always a great atmosphere here, staff are friendly and drinks are reasonably priced. Has a pool table which is great if you want to lose to some of the regulars haha! Occasionally there is live music and karaoke on alternating weekends.

    Nice local venue. Staff attentive. Reasonably priced. Saw great singer here last night, Nadeem Leigh. Will keep a look out for when he's back as was a great night - good atmosphere.

    Rented a room for venue. Went well. Outside area too sit/use too. Lovely place. Separate bar in room which was a good thing so saved people having to keep walking out to the main bar. Used separate caterers to bar/grill. Recommend.

    I used to come here years ago but it seems friendlier now. They let me in an hour before they officially opened. That was a kindness as I am going to a funeral and really could use the Dutch courage. Nice terrace, nice single malt just wish I was here for a nicer reason.

    I hosted my nephews wake in the function room. At such a distressing time, the customer service level was nothing short of excellent. Nicky was my point of contact. She was warm, friendly, and she exceeded my expectations on the small touches in dressing the room for the occasion. I highly recommend this venue.
