The Riverside, Vauxhall, SW8

This is a modern purpose built bar on the ground floor of a new build block of flats overlooking the River Thames. Being a nearly brand new Young's pub it's uber modern inside, with arty spotlights, a curtain screening off one area for some reason, and an area at the back which had all tables laid for diners with the obligatory "wait to be seated" sign doing sentry duty in front of it. But the majority of the place was available for drinkers and furnished with fairly normal tables and chairs. The ales on were Young's Bitter and London Gold, Bombardier and Brain's SA (£2 a half). There are single sheet menus on all the tables, with some pub grub favourites such as fish and chips (£10.50), bangers and mash (£11.00), and "Riverside prime British beefburger at £10.50. These are not cheap prices, but I guess you a premium for eating and drinking in a prime riverside location. The best thing about this bar is its riverside location, so it's well named. As you would expect, there's plenty of outside seating on the riverfront. This is not really my sort of place as I prefer the far less impersonal traditional pub, but I guess it's OK for somewhere to sit outside on a nice day.
