Spanners: Pub in Lambeth, London

Spanners is a food venue in SW9, and it makes more sense once you know its other side. Come for a meal and stay for the music. The programming leans towards club nights, the kind built around a sound and a crowd rather than a fixed set. Body Hammer gives a fair idea of the feel: a night for people who came to move. The room suits anyone who likes their evenings open-ended. Small groups who want a proper dinner and a dance floor afterwards tend to fit right in. So do solo goers who care more about the music than the name on the bill. If you have heard it called Spanners Club, that is the same place. The listings below show what is coming up.
