    The Exhibit is a hidden gem in South West, providing an amazing experience that never fails to impress. The ambiance is compelling from the moment you walk in, thanks in large part to an outstanding aquarium that gives a unique touch to the design. The atmosphere is further improved by a music selection that perfectly compliments the vibe of the establishment, making it an ideal destination for peaceful evenings or lively nights out. The exceptional service is what truly distinguishes The Exhibit. The staff is not only pleasant and courteous, but they also go above and beyond to make every visit unforgettable. Rose and G, whose personalised attention and superb service abilities enrich the experience, deserve special mention. They are the establishment's heart and soul, always ready with a grin and expertly made cocktails. When it comes to cocktails, this place excels. Each cocktail is a unique combination of inventiveness and traditional techniques, resulting in cocktails that are both tasty and visually beautiful. The food selection compliments the drinks wonderfully, with a variety of scrumptious alternatives ideal for sharing or enjoying alone. The Exhibit is a must-see whether you're a local or just travelling through. It's more than simply a bar; it's an experience that you'll want to return to again and again.

    Had a friends 24th birthday at the Garden venue hire to the side of The Exhibit. It was an incredible space for any party from 30-100 people! They were so hospitable, providing us with mics for karaoke and letting us arrange the room accordingly to what we desired! Fully recommend the venue as well as the staff and owners were all super friendly and willing to meet our every need! 100% will be using this venue again! Thanks for an amazing party The Exhibit!

    We had our work Christmas party at the Exhibit, Balham. It was fantastic and all of the team were so helpful and accommodating. The Winter Garden was decorated beautifully and the snow machine and sleigh was a lovely Christmassy touch. The food was delicious and our bartender in the garden was great as well. Thanking a few more individuals in particular, G, Rosa and Larry you went the extra mile. Thank you to the whole team, we appreciated your hard work.

    We experienced a level of service that’s becoming increasingly rare. A huge thank you to the manager Rosa and her team for providing the perfect setting for a 30th celebration. We will be back!!

    Lively venue close to Balham tube, with multiple floors hosting private venues and a comedy event which I attended. Good selection of reasonably priced cocktails, a great spot for a friendly brunch or get together.
