| this is one of the worst pubs i have been to stay away bands that you buy tickets for dont turn up and no offer of refund the owner of the place does not have a clue what she is doing and when you try to talk to her acts like a 5 year old little girl drinks are over priced and the whole pub is dirty with the bouncers having a part time job going around trying to sell there special cig brixtongirl12344 - 4 Dec 2011 23:30 |
| It was very lively when I visited on a Friday night. Needed to queue and get frisked by a bouncer before getting in and there were stalls outside selling food and drink. Combine this with the pub's spaciousness and the live music and it felt like being at a festival. Definitely worth a visit. FreeBornJack - 5 Feb 2011 18:38 |
| Speaking on behalf of many entertainers that have had the misfortune to agree to doing a gig here, this place is a nightmare. DONT DO IT! the promoters and the management are the most unprofessional, rude people you could ever have the misfortune to deal with. The running of the place is a shambles and sound engineers are a catastrophe... changing microphones and leads during songs, just terrible terrible gigs....In agreement with Haldir, its all about the money. I am surprised they have not been blacklisted by the musicians union, among other professional entertainment boards. trebleclef1 - 30 Nov 2010 14:13 |
| I live round the corner too - surprised by the negative comments on here. Great music, cheap beer, shows all sport in the week- has a bit too much of an edge to it on some nights. But Brixton would be far the worse without it. iamsnakes - 23 Oct 2010 19:50 |
| I'd love to say that this is my favourite pub as I live around the corner from it. But frankly, it's a dive. These people don't give a flying f**k about anything but their profits. The noise from Thursday through till Sunday night is a major annoyance to many locals. Despite many calls, complaints etc. it's pretty clear that the Hootenanny is just another carpetbagging bunch of exploitative gobshites who want to get rich on the "Brixton vibe" while treating the locals like shit. I've lived here for 25 years and have seen the "Canning" through all its phases - this is the worst so far. Haldir - 15 Apr 2010 23:26 |
