While notorious for waffles and beautiful breakfast plates, The Breakfast Club is so much for than just eggs. With retro interiors, plenty of beers to go around and a bespoke cocktail menu, they're strong in the bar/hangout department to boot.
Croydon isn't short of lovely pubs, but it's The Spread Eagle that has a little something more up its sleeve. Also home to comedy nights and theatre shows, you're sure to get something a little more than just a pint here.
An authentic Italian restaurant and wine bar in Croydon, Basil & Grape serves artisan pizza and paninis, salad and Italian sharing boards with a handpicked selection of fine wines. From bottomless prosecco Sunday to wine down Wednesday, the bar and restaurant is a haven for any wine-lover.
The ideal pick of street food spots and bars in Croydon, BOXPARK is that shipping container drinking den that's sure to hit the spot. Plus, they've got sports fans covered with big screens, while other events include live music and comedy nights.
