Sugar Cane Cocktail Bar

What i can only assume is supposed to be a tropical themed bar is housed along one of the quieter main roads of clapham.out front are a couple of tables basking in the warm glow of red lights. Within is a medium sized room-larger than you might expect from the outside with a well stocked bar at the end. A South African bar man serves us-not really seeming to embrace the place. But who can blame him? Frankly the venue is very tacky. It is very dark and the place is lit up by twenty watt light bulbs and candles. We take our drinks to a barrel with a plastic palm tree on it acting as our table. About the place are wicker chairs at the low lying tables and few seem to be standing only due to the fact that the place isn’t that busy. The mundane music doesn’t seem to help. The venue is essentially a cocktail bar but with high competition for good cocktails in clapham it was disheartening to find that a number of the cocktails tasted vile.

Overall it did seem that the effort had been put in to create an atmosphere its just that there isn’t one here. Sugar cane gets a generous 5/10
