  “Went to the Swan on Saturday - had a great time. Lost of pair of glasses and they have been really helpful in getting back to me and they have found them in lost property. Really appreciate it - great service”

  “Bouncer Sarah kicked me out for chewing gum. Honestly fire her because she’s so nasty, no chewing gum because she’s a massive horrible lady. Don’t even bother because it’s awful, completely invalid reason as I didn’t even have gum in my bag but asked if i could chew it before she threw it away, was instantly removed from the queue and told i couldn’t come in.”

  “I want to share how excellent one of the security members of the team was. My friend was in a bad state and this security member was excellent in seeing that she was ok. Instead of just removing her from the building he checked and made sure at every step he that she was ok and asked what he could do to help. I wish I got his name, he was truly excellent and I wish all security staff were as great as him for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of patrons.”

  “I used to go to the Swan years ago and encouraged my kids to go now they’re old enough and with my niece. It’s such a shame how it’s gone so down hill, the fact it was empty wasn’t the worst part it was the shocking behaviour of the security staff. They were rude especially the fella who stole my nieces ID and refused to give it back. We’ve logged a complaint with the police and waiting to hear back. Do not bother going here, it seems it’s lost its happy friendly atmosphere and Irishness which is so sad.”

  “The vibe here is so much fun!! We came for St. Patrick’s Day and will definitely be coming back. Drinks are well priced and the music is great! Bouncers Alex and Jean-Paul are super kind.”

  “Fun bar, terrible security. I had paid my £15 entry but decided to leave and unfortunately got stuck after my phone died trying to get home. Security refused to let me re-enter to find my friends, leaving me crying on the floor with no idea how to get home. Having been harassed by multiple men on the street already I was absolutely terrified. Thought security is meant to make a place feel safer?”

  “Really concerned that the Swan is breaching their drink licensing conditions. It is against the law to serve visibly drunk people alcohol. For months local residences have had to deal with vomit, broken glass, piss and anti social behavior. You would think having extra security would mean that the alcohol licensing would be followed to a T. I will be contacting Lambeth because of this.”

  “Honestly one of the best Irish pubs I’ve ever been to. Went for St. Paddy’s, and Alex and Sean were very kind and conversational. Honestly some of the kinder people I’ve met in London so far. Pub was so much fun. Depends on how much you want to spend but every pint was around £6. Very affordable especially for London. Staff was extremely nice.”

  “I came here 20 years ago and wanted to see if it was as good as it used to be. It used to be buzzing and full of people. The bands were brilliant. When we came back it was empty. So sad. I don't know what happened to the place. Very sad”

  “I want to give special recognition to the female security staff at this nightclub. From the moment we arrived, they were professional, approachable and highly attentive. At one point I saw them calmly step in to assist a guest who seemed uncomfortable, and they handled the situation quickly and discreetly. It's clear that safety is a top priority here, and that made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back!”
