This place really isn't as bad as some of the reviews below suggest. It is a little bit expensive I agree, but that's probably because it's a table service. It's somewhere to go for a few drinks on one of those nights when a pub seems too dull but a club seems like too much. The food is good too.

i was here on saturday, and i have to say the tunes were rocking.
however, i should add that the booze was expensive, and the owner was a posh twonk with particularly offensive hair

I am amazed that this place has been given such bad reviews. I have always felt welcome and found the staff to be very helpful, professional and friendly. I live in Brixton and find this bar to be a real haven. Food is fine, cocktails good, atmosphere lively. It is expensive but I think it is worth it as you almost always get a table and don't have to move from your table to get served. Go with an open mind.

Over priced and poor service in this place. Should be more reasonably priced as it's tucked away from the knowing public.

Had a few good evenings here - the cocktails and selection of beers are very good. Downsides are food - quite dreadful. If you want some tapas better to go to No.22 in Herne Hill or to one of the many of the Portuguese, Spanish and South American places in Brixton and Stockwell. Also service charge - we were made to feel very uncomfortable when we chose not to pay the full and I might add optional 13% after a night drinking there - I might add we had spent over a £100 quid on drinks and left a tenner - quite reasonable I thought.

Very overpriced. Calls itself a 'grill' and didn't do a steak of any sort when i was there. Would rather push expensive, badly mixed cocktails at you while you sit cheek to jowl with non-locals haw-hawing loudly about house prices etc.

Much better when it was the Pangea pizza restaurant. I've been here once when a friend was Djing, and was charged £21 for three rum and cokes. Plus it had no atmosphere !

What can I say - definatly the best bar in brixton (in my opinion)!!!!!!!!!
If you want a grungy traditional brixton scene don't bother - if you want the friendliest bar staff, very good tapas - excellent drinks menu plus professional cocktial bar staff you've come to the right place!!
excelent tunes and the best atmosphere of any bar in south london! Prices are average £3 a pint £5 to £7 for tapas - the wine list is good though it could be a little more varied!
I come here every week, there's no point in going anywhere else cos i won't be as good!

Truly all that is wrong woth new bars in Brixton. Clapham high street translocated to Brixton. full of want-to-be trendies and a wacking 13% service charge on drinks.
