The Commercial: Pub in Lambeth, London

The Commercial in SE24 is a place that does a few things well and keeps doing them. Live music is a regular feature, mostly acoustic sets on Fridays, and bank holidays often follow the same pattern. Saturdays tend to belong to DJs, so the room shifts from songs to something looser and dancier. Sundays are for roasts, which makes it a good pick for a slow afternoon with people you like. The crowd comes for the music and stays for the food and the company. If you want to know what the place is, look at what it hosts week after week: live sets, DJs, and a proper roast.
