Sugar Hut
Posted by crackberry in Everything, Fulham, Fulham, Places to Drink, Places to Eat on September 1, 2009
Sunday drinking is a rarefied taste reserved for the sorts of masochists that enjoy making a bad situation worse and have all the foresight of a grumpy toddler. If, however, you are one of those people, then Sugar Hut is the Xanadu to your inner Kubla Khan. On Sundays this opulently dressed Eastern bar has remarkably good live music and wisps of incense transport you to a better place – one where you can dance, everyone around you is a hottie, and tomorrow you’re not going to be slumped over your keyboard wishing you were dead.
374 North End Rd, Fulham, SW6 1LY. Tel: 020 7386 8950. Web: www.sugarhutworld.com
Café 209
Posted by crackberry in Everything, Fulham, Places to Eat on September 1, 2009
This dirt cheap Thai is a Joy. Actually, that’s the larger than life hostess’s name, but it’s a good adjective and we’re sticking with it. Well loved by a number of locals, this neighbourhood BYO serves up its tasty morsels with lashings of personality. The dark interior is small and crammed with tables, a bit like the Bangkok street caff that it aspires to be, but that’s the point – good cheap fun and nothing more. A short warning though: be nice to Joy – she tends to get a little “feisty” with people she doesn’t approve of…
Price: £10-20pp. 209 Munster Rd, Fulham, SW6 6BX. Tel: 0871 971 7795.
The Valmont Club
Posted by crackberry in Everything, Fulham, Places to Drink on August 28, 2009
Valmont Club is the kind of place you wished you’d known about earlier… Tucked away in a basement on the vibrant Fulham Road, it’s deceptively large and unpretentious (although annoyingly a guest list still applies) with three rooms to suit all moods. Start with the cream leather room when you’re still sober and sociable and as the night progresses you’ll find yourself veering towards the more forgiving dark room with its gothic tones of maroon, gold and black and before long, the twinkling neon lights pulsating through the walls in time with the music will force you to retreat into a private booth for some shady shenanigans behind the velvet drapes and beaded curtains… Put on your glad rags, order cocktails by the bottle (yes that’s right – this is no place for amateurs), and party with royalty as this is a hot spot for Prince William.

The Blue Elephant
Posted by crackberry in Everything, Fulham, Fulham, Places to Drink, Places to Eat on August 28, 2009
Escape the dull dreariness of London and step into a tropical Thai paradise-the Blue Elephant is a haven away from it all. Here you will be seated in lush surroundings, dine with the sound of water trickling down the stream in the background and occasionally be granted the pleasure of Thai dancers performing at your request… tantalizing and mesmerizing with every swing of their hips, you could almost be in Bangkok, almost. With tea lights in abundance, authentic Thai food and cocktails to suit every taste, this is one place not to miss: romantic by night, bustling by day it can’t fail to impress.
Price: c.£20pp (lunch 2 courses for £12, 3 for £15). 3-6 Fulham Broadway SW6 1AA. Tel: 020 7385 6595. Web: www.blueelephant.com/london
