This is a new place at 30 Brixton Water Lane that replaces 'Cookies Cafe Au Lait' and looks really great inside.
Was mentioned in the Brixton Chitter Chatter thread but thought a new thread might be in order. Main reason for the thread is that they have got problems with their license application after a neighbour complained to the council. It is going to 'consultation' and I would guess that eventually a license will be granted but seems a real shame to me. Brixton Space is opposite the Hootananny pub and in a location that has some residential property nearby.
The objections to them having a license is that it will cause noise and drunken behaviour
It is a really nice little Tapas Cafe/Bar in a row of shops and you would think that with the success of Brazas place around the corner the locals would welcome this opening up. What seems to have happened is that one person does not want it and following this another four people have objected. I talked to the couple that run the place last night and they said they have more emails of support than objections but might be nice if others who are interested sent an email over to licensing@lambeth.gov.uk
Tonight (Thursday 12th of May) is their opening night so I am going to pop along. At this time those that want to drink alcohol will have to bring their own. Will take some photos and add to this thread tomorrow![Smile :) :)](/ubb/smile.gif)
