Was in here for pre gig drinks before venturing to the Academy. Staff pleasant drinks fine. It was a good way to start the night out. Was generally quiet with a mixed clientele I could imagine that it gets pretty busy later on but didn't venture back so cant be sure. That said I would recommend it early on at least particularly before a gig

Great for pre-gig drinks when it's still quiet but like the black hole of calcutta (if that had ironically dressed indie-twats cluttering it up) later on. Beer garden is hilarious.

Deliberately grimy pub/club, too cool for school, but has a strange charisma all of it's own. Mostly bottled beer and spirits. Turned into a club as the evening went on with the usual Brixton mixture of old school rap, dancehall and impenetrable, hardcore electronica. Challenged to table football doubles by a savagely drunk Polish man. Lost.

Has too many ambitions to be a trendy club for my liking - I'm not a fan of establishments where someone hangs around in the toilet with soap and smellies for the customers. However, I did enjoy the table football.

Wow, I have never been to a place quite like Dogstar. There are so many different types of people from your cool kids to your chaves to your rich posh totties. But for some unknown reason it works. I felt a bit sorry for the staff as it was so busy and they seemed rather short staffed. It took awhile to get severd which was the only down side to the night I didnt actually know there was an upstairs till right at the end of the night. Its got a real coolness about the place. Although its a little dingy it just adds to the the atmoshphere of the whole place.
Any ways I love Dogstar and you'll see me again next weekend!
