Alter Ega Description

Alter Ega - great Caribbean food, chilled bar and superb party venue in the heart of Balham where the sun always shines!

We opened in 2009 - a new bar and eatery right in the heart of Balham - a stone's throw from the station. We are hoping to meet some new mates and reconnect with old ones! We are doing live music nights, Open mic night, Quiz night, Caribbean bbq's and the odd super star DJ's!
