Awesome place! Great food, good beer, fantastic atmosphere, a gem 😀
Excellent pub. Good beers. Good staff.
I've been there on a Friday night for live music and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
When you go out for a roast sometimes it can be disappointing, but not this one. Super reasonable prices and delicious food - highly recommend!
Another absolutely amazing Sunday lunch again. The Yorkshire puddings were amazing, as was the Roast Beef. The veg and gravy were amazing and plenty of it. I travelled 5 miles for this and always will, because there is no better Sunday Lunch (In my opinion) in Balham, Tooting Bec, Tooting Broadway and Colliers Wood.
The desert was outstanding according to my friend, best he’s had. Do yourselves a favour and have your Sunday lunch here!
First visit on a friend's recommendation. I was really impressed with this large, quirky, welcoming pub. Excellent selection of beers and an historical interior give a cosy atmosphere in the choice of several rooms. I will return.
Great place for an amazing relaxed Sunday dinner at reasonable cost. We were made really welcome by all the staff with our 2 dogs. I especially enjoyed the veggie option and extra Yorkshires. Can't wait to be back.

Balham Bowls Social Club is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Balham, and I can't say enough good things about the experience I've had there, largely thanks to the excellent management of Gabby.

Gabby, the manager of the club, is the heart and soul of this establishment. Her dedication to ensuring that every visitor has a memorable experience is truly remarkable. She's not only attentive but also incredibly friendly. Gabby's knowledge of the club's history and the sport of bowls itself is impressive. Her passion for what she does shines through, making you feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer.
The bar and dining area are well-maintained and offer a great selection of beverages and delicious food options. Whether you're a fan of classic cocktails, craft beers, or fine wines, you won't be disappointed. The menu is varied, and the quality of the dishes is outstanding. I highly recommend trying the Sunday roast; it's a personal favorite.
The bowling greens are in fantastic condition, and whether you're a seasoned bowler or a novice, you'll find the equipment and facilities top-notch. Gabby and her staff are always on hand to offer guidance and assistance, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a game.
The events and entertainment organized by the club are another highlight. They provide the perfect opportunity to socialize and meet fellow members. From quiz nights to live music, there's always something exciting happening at Balham Bowls Social Club.
In summary, Balham Bowls Social Club is a wonderful destination for those seeking a unique and enjoyable social experience. Gabby's exceptional management skills and the overall friendly ambiance create an environment that is truly inviting. It's a place where traditions meet modernity, and I can't recommend it enough. If you're in Balham, don't miss the chance to visit this charming establishment.
In Balham, where the good times flow,
Lies a gem called Balham Bowls, you know.
A pub of mirth, a place of cheer,
A haven for friends, far and near.
The ambiance, oh, it's truly divine,
With warm lighting that softly shines.
The staff's smiles, like the sun's first ray,
Greet you warmly, come what may.
The food and drinks, a delightful array,
Satisfying cravings in every way.
From pints to pies, and everything between,
A culinary journey, a feast unseen.
But what sets this pub apart from the rest,
Is the bowls, a game, a welcomed test.
Outdoors we play, in the sun or rain,
A perfect activity, to banish all pain.
So here's to Balham Bowls, let's raise a toast,
For the memories made, we love the most.
In the heart of Balham, this pub's a star,
A place to return, no matter how far.
Great venue. I am a member of Monumental Choir and we practice here every Monday night (come join us!). We do performances here and it's always a great crowd.
I also went to a wedding reception here that was brilliant as we had the whole upstairs to ourselves with a private bar. Super fun, and great staff.
What a most wonderful atmosphere with very friendly staff (francesca, Duncan and others) and the amazing chef, Miro. His roasts are out of this world - just amazing. The flavours and tenderness of the meats is hard to beat. You must go! The sticky toffee pudding is the best too. We'll be back! We'll done all at Balham Bowls Club 🥳
I recently had my 30th birthday party at Balham Bowls Club and we hired out the upstairs function room for the 70+ people attending.
Gabby and the team were very helpful and accommodating both during the booking process and on the night itself. Everyone had a great time and I would recommend Balham Bowls Clubs for anyone looking to plan a similar event.
Me and my family had such a lovely time visiting this pub. The roast was delicious and the service was amazing. The lady with blue hair went over and above to make sure all our needs were met. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff. A lovely pub and we will definitely be visiting again.
