Live Your Best Gay Life at Balans Clapham

They’ve got squid, they’ve got cocktails, they’ve got an outside bit…what more could you want?


We’ve all stumbled into Balans for a 2am Balans Burger at SOME point haven’t we! A mouthful of juicy meat and raucous booths stuffed with drag queens and miscreants.

Since those heady days of their first Soho ventures, they’ve branched out and have now got gorgeously gastronomic homosexual havens in Seven Dials and Clapham.

If you haven’t ventured down to the Clapham one, now is the perfect time, because they’re celebrating their first birthday this year! 12 whole months open! That’s quite impressive for a restaurant in London. In fact, it’s positively ancient.

They use only fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, all prepared in-house, with a courageously comprehensive wine list, and more cocktails than Joan Collins’ room service bill.

They’ve also got an OUTSIDE BIT. We love an outside bit! Cabanas, beer gardens, smoking terraces, rock gardens…if it’s outside, we’re there. In the words of George Michael, LET’S GO OUTSIDE. Their outside bit is a covered terrace overlooking the picturesque Clapham Common, where you can idly sit and watch the world (hot men in shorts) go by.

Perhaps most importantly, to celebrate their birthday, Balans Clapham are offering 50% off all food from 5pm on Sunday, through to last orders on Thursdays. The offer runs from 16th May to 30th June, so get down there now!

Balans Clapham is at 16A Clapham Common South Side, SW4 7AB. For more info and a full menu, head to balans.co.uk
