Cozy, quirky, atmospheric, friendly bar staff/manager, laid back, superb variety of music, and all that from just one visit after all the talent (live music) of the night had left only happened upon this awesome wee pub coz it was open later than 11pm and very close to where we were staying in the Wyvil estate (visiting relatives) this would be my local if I lived down there...alas, I live 450miles away in Irvine Ayrshire...there should be more pubs like this up here.. great wee place.

Came early for the Comedy Virgin night, which was great fun. Since we arrived early we got to relax in some darn comfy chairs and soak up the vibes-which were very relaxed.

Great night out and one of the best place to see the comedians before they make it big.

I had an excellent birthday on Wed 30th. Glen and the team made me feel very special. Although we initially came on a Groupon Voucher, we found the bottles of prosecco, rhubarb vodka and cider more than agreeable and happily spent behind the bar. The team made my friends and i feel very welcome, the quality of food was surpisingly excellent and the atmosphere a++++ we'll definitley be coming back. Looking forward to sampling music and cabaret events too. We're even considering private hire for a charity gig we're putting on. Thank you guys, you made my birthday special.

The Cavendish Arms is a lovely pub in Stockwell, hidden away in a beautiful and quiet neighbourhood. I really liked the retro decor and the furniture that looked like they came from someone's grandfather's house.

The drinks selection is nothing special but it's all right for a local. They also have something called disco fries that I will have to try next time. Definitely sounds intriguing.

The place is actually quite known amongst young comedians, as they hold open mic comedy nights every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, so it popular with people who want to get on stage for the first time or practice new material and test how it sits with the crowd. In order to perform you need to bring a guest with you, which is a great policy to make sure there's someone to spread the word afterwards and they don't have a room full of comedians playing for each other.

I actually performed some improv comedy with my friends and I have to say it was quite fun being on stage for the first time and the crowd was very supportive. I would recommend paying it a visit if you are in the area and want a laugh. Besides, it's always good to support new talent. You may see the first steps of someone who will be the next big thing.

🚇 Nine Elms 🍺 £5.75 Freedom Lager ❤️ One of London’s most uniquely decorated pubs. . The Cavendish Arms is located in a residential area in the western part of Stockwell. Nine Elms is the nearest tube and is just over a five minute walk away. . This pub’s architecture is typical 1960’s estate pub, this type of pub is ever becoming a rare sight on the London pub landscape these days. . This is a two room pub, the left hand side is used as a comedy club, live music and events venue, the right hand side is the main bar. . Now on to the decor, if you can imagine if DFS had a showroom in Soho in the 1970’s then I think it might look a bit like this, this place is absolute bananas. There is every different type of sofa, soft furnishing, flowery rug and trinket you can think off all of which are covered in fairy lights. At the front of the pub are a few gazebo’s with yet more sofas to relax in over the warmer months. . The beer line up was pretty good which included one real ale and a few craft brews. I decided to go off piste and tried the Freedom Lager, it was a decent pint and pleasingly under six nicker. . We arrived not long after opening just after 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. We were the first punters in and to say we were amazed by our surroundings was an understatement. We got chatting to the very welcoming Guv’nor who was telling us all about his pub of which he is very proud of. We popped next door to check out the events area, it is a good size space complete with stage. . @thecavendisharmsstockwell is a very unique boozer which is all about having a bit of fun. This place is definitely the case where the collars don’t match the cuffs, the inside and outside of the pub couldn’t be more different. This is definitely a must visit pub just for the decor alone. Check out their socials for upcoming events. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 28.01.23

Free comedy night, lots of fun and laughter, creative and delicious cocktails, good and fairly prized pizza and oddly beautiful interior. This sentence tells you all you need to know about The Cavendish Arms. It is certainly worth a visit. It is one of the most unique pubs I've been to.

What a fabulous pub and venue. We went for a comedy night (which was brilliant) and we're totally blown away by the pub. The decor was amazing, inside and out and the staff were super friendly and efficient, we didnt get to try the food, but the pizzas smelled amazing. Would definitely be a place we would go to on a regular basis if we were local.

First time here, I came to see a friends band make their London debut. It’s a bit tucked away but easy enough to find. Once in its very pleasant. Staff and locals are very friendly. Beer is ok & reasonably priced for the area. Nicely decorated.

AMAZING NIGHT! Came for the open mic comedy night on a Tuesday at 9pm and it was hilarious! There were 9 comedians and it was very good vibes. We bought a coupon through Groupon so for ÂŁ8 we got a cocktail, pizza and the comedy entertainment. You can come here just for the comedy and a pint as the entry for the comedy is FREE! You can donate after the show though (ÂŁ5) which lasts just over an hour. The vibes are immaculate and the pub is dog themed and dog friendly! There is also a cat that lives in the pub which chills with the guests.

Had a really fun evening last week, at comedy night!Staff very friendly and accommodating, as we were from out of the area, and didn't know what to expect, they were very attentive and made sure we were happy and catered for. Comedy night was real fun and Pizza and Cocktails deal was well worth the money. Thanks to Mike and Dan for looking after us! Definitely recommend đź‘Ś

I visited Cavendish arms 2 times, both times using groupon voucher. Its such a a great place to visit. The atmosphere is very good. I love their dogtails/cocktails. Also, the pizza was very good. I would highly recommend this place to everyone and would like to visit here again myself. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and their comedy show is also very good.

Amazing place! It looks like your quirky nan's house that got cozied and dolled up with split personality. The cocktails were amazing in taste, punch, and presentation. The comedy bar, by far was the best! Loads of talent and laughter going on. Such an entertaining night! I'll definitely come back. ♥️
