The Dogstar, Brixton

I would like to say 2 things about the Dogstar - first, as my Local - and one who suffered under the old owners - the new place is amazing. Shabby and depressing? Sounds like you work at the Living bar or at The Fridge. I can think of no other place south of the river that's so interesting inside. The re-furb actually has just been finished November 2006 - and its mindblowing what they've done with the place... as for the food - i would agree there is no place in Brixton or south london to get as Good and cheap tex-mex as here. Finally, the main reason i come here [and have for 10 years or more] is that the music is always amazing... looking at the dj line-ups they've had recently is a who's who of music - Cornershop, Stereo MCs, Massive Attack, Hot Chip, The Nextmen, Hard-Fi, etc. etc. and the amazing thing is that its free [i think b4 11?] anyway, the point im making to emilia_naan is that the DJs on fridays and sat.s especially rock the place - and if there is one criticism from the older folks - is that it gets too busy on fridays and sat - to be fair, as beer in the evening points out - don't take the reviews too seriously... so all i'd ask is for you to see and hear it for yourself -
