Clapham's Colorado ski lodge

Sister operations Hide (Fulham) and Exhibit (Balham) have a week-old baby bro in the shape of SW4's Exhibit B (bet that name took some working out). It's more of a big bro, really, since the new arrival is a strapping specimen and a healthy addition to the Clapham clan.

Glimpsed through massive Hopper-esque windows, this concrete barn of a bar is one big, airy, poseurs' paradise. Pine-clad pillars, black leather and snakeskin seating, sunken den, recessed log fire, back-lit onyx bar and massive matching abstract mural lend it a Colorado ski-lodge vibe. Well-crafted cocktails and a fair range of wines and beers are realistically priced. Staff seem genuinely eager to please. My deliberate off-menu tease prompted a team powwow about how to mix a perfect pink mojito.

In a clever design twist, a Big Brother-ish scarlet glass wall forms a stunning interface between the main bar and a handsome 50-cover minimalist diner beyond.

With bar snacks yet to be introduced, we selected three starters from the restaurant's World menu. Although these ranged from innocent to criminal, we'll be back to give the food a fair trial later. Back in the bar, the evidence points to success, but go judge for yourself.
