The Space

Think vintage lampshades in a light, bright and airy space.  This modern pub becomes an upbeat cocktail bar on the weekends. The atmosphere is laidback and there’s a small but popular patio area out front. Also has an upstairs area available for hire.

The Punters

A mixture of post-work professionals and trendy types in denim turn-ups. Twenty-somethings to early thirty-somethings.

The Booze

Meantime beers, plus a few friendly lagers on tap. Cocktails are a fiver before 11pm and contain fresh ingredients from Brixton market. The Espresso Martini is ace – patrontequila, sloshnaya vanilla and a shot of espresso. Happy Hour is between 5pm – 9pm.

The Highlights

The extensive cocktail menu.

What’s a bit rubbish?

The garden/patio area is very small.

What else they got in the bag?

There is a DJ in the upstairs bar every Saturday night.

To sum it up…

A fun venue with character, in a great location – perfect for casual pubbing or easy cocktails.
