“Been a while since i have been to Lost, used to go a lot, but moved away. Got to say, still one of the best places around. For overall service, drinks, friendliness and a good time... .of course you get chavs, in there, you also get rugby boys and girls. Hey, its Clapham, there is a very braod mix of faces, otherwise it would be pretty boring, No? Its a shame there are not more places around that offer such a good'package', without being up their own bottoms! Highly recommended!”

“I went here for birthday drinks on saturday and was really really disappointed! I rang to book about a week before and was told that i couldn't book an area for drinks which was absolutely fair enough. So i asked what time i should get there by and they said 8 to avoid queuing. So i headed over with a friend at about 7.30 to grab a table. When we arrived it wasn't too busy but there was only a couple of tables left.... oh and one big table reserved for drinks! Having got there early to grab a few seats for my mates we took a couple of tables and ordered a bite to eat. The waiterish guy was really nice and the service was quick but when the food arrived i was a little shocked at how poor it was considering the price. That aside i liked the place and the music (however, i did not like the chav's that suddenly made there way in and over crowded the bar!). Since the service seemed so nice i asked another guy working there if it was ok to take up two tables as i had about 20 people arriving shortly. I asked nicely, i was polite, i was excited because it was my birthday and this man was darn well rude and arrogant. He stood there in his ridiculous bowling shirt and pretty much said 'do one'! He really did not care if we were there or not. It seems to me that this place has become so busy and popular that they don't really care about who is there or about being polite to people. By 8.15 the place was pretty full and lots of my mates were stuck in the queue outside which was already ”

“We were a group of five very lovely ladies who wanted a girls night out somewhere with a cocktail list to die for and we had heard Lost Society was just the place. We presumed that we would be fine if we arrived at 8.15pm but that’s where the trouble began as we encountered by a queue. The queue wasn’t too long and being British and we don’t mind a well-managed effective queue – however this was anything but. We queued for an hour with very minimal movement whilst a large number of random people seemed to be able to waft in with a bit of a wink and a kiss (in the most fake of all manners) for the door staff. We reached the front of the queue by 9pm rather disillusioned but determined to sit it out after so much time invested. Then movement ground to a halt and we were informed of a one in one out policy (meanwhile large numbers of people ‘popped’ out with a stamp on their hand many not even returning). A while later 8 people left and we were then told that they now needed to wait for another two to leave so they could let in 2 people from the normal queue and two from the guest list queue at a time. 15 minutes later 6 people from the guest list queue were allowed to enter whilst we remained in the cold contrary to the promise. Another 15 minutes and we finally were granted entry at nearly 10pm!! To add insult to injury we were charged a £5 entry fee although we had noted many other people had not been required to pay this (probably you only have to pay after 10pm?). Once insi”

“Decor was good and the man on the door was friendly. However the bar was overpopulated with raucous twentysomethings who looked as if they were on a night out from essex. The meal was extremely disappointing. The resaurant was rather cramped. The starter had clearly been made earlier in the day as the fois gras terrine had been standing on the toast for hours which was now soggy and soft. The small steak was over-cooked for medium as requested was no particular cut and plonked on top of the chips along with some very poor sauce. I was served better meals when I was in school. During the meal on a couple of occasions I dropped my napkin and when the waiter picked it up for me he handed it back to me instead of replacing it, on the other occasion I picked it up myself. The only redeeming feature was the price, just under £60 for two courses and a bottle of reasonable wine for 2 people, but it honestly felt like we were eating motorway service station food rather than in a restaurant. We couldn't bear to stay for a dessert and left after 2 courses. We won't be returning and don't recommend Lost Society to others. The music was ok but was usually drowned by the brash cacophony of the wideboy and bimbo clientele.”

“Went to Lost Society on Sunday, it was so cool to go to a venue that can offer great food and an even better atmosphere, the live acts were superb. The staff looked after me and my friends brillantly.”

“Over 20 work colleagues and I came on Friday night 27.10.06 (on my recommendation)... the bar got too crowded, which is not necessarily a bad thing... however the bar staff got really aggressive, behaved in a rude and uninviting manner... lets be plain - we were spending shed loads of cash behind the bar! I was verbally humiliated by one of the bar staff for taking a cocktail off the mat on the bar before being told I could (the cocktail had been made and I didn't realise I was at the school canteen hatch!)... overall disappointing and with many bars that become successful the initial charm is lost and the ugly money making machine grinds nosily into action! we won't be back…”

“Only venue south of the river to get 41/2 out of 5 stars in the Difford cocktail guide. Thought I would try it out, wow over 8 cocktails all made to perfection. Went on a Thursday night, was busy and had a fab night. Worth checking out!!”

“It was the ideal location for my 30th bday - spacious and grown-up enough that I wasn't pressed against hordes of teenyboppers but glamorous enough to make me feel like I wasn't becoming middle-aged. The food was delicious, cocktails heavenly, and the waiters super-friendly - rare in a London bar. The different levels and rooms, including the leafy beer garden all have a different vibe, making it a slightly different experience each time you visit. If you haven't been before, go now!”
