great brass bar, good music, mixed crowd!
|
Great pub with old locals playing dominoes in the corner. Try the Jerk Pork. Much better than it sounds!
|
The really cool thing about brixton is that all the best pubs are hidden away. The effra is a classic example of this and an absolute gem of a boozer. I grant you the choice of beer aint that special (no draught ale) and it has that kind of "am I invisible" service but of course this don't matter when the atmosphere (made better by the live jazz) is as good as it is in the Effra.

Have been in the Effra a few times and was made to feel very welcome. The pub i sdefinately worth a visit. Food was good when i was in.

Great to see the Effra so highly rated. It used to be my regular before I moved away, Joe Smith was running it then at a very high standard.
Terrific!

Stunning. Good vibe, good beer (at times), cheap and with some very cool live music.

I thought it was great in here. Nice atmos and good Guinness - Food looked good as well although I didn't dabble. Thumbs up all round.

A quality local. Relaxed and friendly with strong customer loyalty.

I have been running the live jazz at the Effra for 5.5 years and I, glad that all the visitors to your site have enjoyed the sunday nights. All are welcome ANYTIME!

Best 'local' in Brixton. Good drinks prices - check out the 2-pint offers.

My mate wants me to move into his spare room in Hackney, but I don't 'cause of the EFFRA HALL. Live jazz, cheap prices, no attitude and all 1 min walk from my house. I love it.

This has got to one of the cheapest bars in London. Fantastic live jazz bands on every night. Makes you feel like you in the real Brixton, and not the 'new' Brixton. A great secret.

brilliantly messy atmosphere late on the weekends. Otherwise a really nice, really diverse, pretty cheep and brilliantly wank free pub near the centre of brixton

i work there part time i believe its probably the best pub in brixton. it has a very diverse clientele and an enjoyable selection of live jazz bands.

Great pub, great West Indian food, groovey jazz music. Cheap beer. PSst, it's off the regular Brixton beaten track - don't tell anyone!
