Aye, despite the best attempts of some breweries and a few fuck-haired entreupreneurs, many of brixton's pubs remain firmly unyupped.

The Effra....
Tbh, The Goose always looked to me like a huge boring wooden hall with no soul - a weatherspoons or a slightly downmarket stripped-wood flooring bar jobbie. but if you drink in there regularly and like it, then fair enough.

It was possibly the most depressing place in all of Brixton.

I think I went in it twice in the first few months it opened and never set foot in it again, except maybe once a few years later. It hadn't improved

I remember sitting in there one New Year's Day with a horrendous hangover. Apart from the people I was with there were maybe about five other folk sitting about. It was raining outside and the light was fading. That was a good start to the year.

i popped my head into "Ivan's Retreat" yesterday. It looks like they've made a bit of effort on the decor - new paint job outside and got a bit of new furniture. the menu looks posh but it's not really gastro. didn't go right in so not sure if they have any decent beer or cider.
Nope, but I'm guessing a crime of some sort. No need to know anymore I guess.
The dead zone of Atlantic/Rushcroft road continues to claim new victims. Bronze Tallulah has died unsurprisingly enough, but the Sandwich Bar lasted about 2 months, Redeye Records has closed, with the local (afro) hairdresser resplendent with baliff notice on door. Bar 628, lately only open for special occasions, looks like it's gone back to the same owners as Atlantico/Atlantic 66 - I'm guessing, but I recognised the faces working on it this w/e. I also suspect that Tangeir has quietly changed ownership or management - I haven't seen the old (widely disliked) proprietor in there and there's a slight indication of a few new regulars in there.
Tough road to do well in really.

Is an odd place.
We stopped for a quick beer and the service was good, place was clean and the menu (although we did not eat) looked interesting, especially the fish finger sarnies.

his little casualty
I ate in there one lunchtime with some work mates - not sure I'd go back in a hurry.
The food was ok, but the service was terrible. It seemed like they were completely taken aback by the prospect of serving a table of 8 at the same time, despite the fact we were the only people in the whole place!
My burger finally arrived when most people had finished eating....and I had to wolf it down as my lunch hour was over by the time I started eating. It made me very grumpy.

I spent an enjoyable (and twee) hour watching the Alice in the Walled Garden in Brockwell Park over the weekend. You can just about see Alice in the background and the Cheshire cat peeking its head over the hedge.

It was another shooting in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Don't know who the victim was but they were killed apparently. 
I hope Majestical Lips continues to do well. Some really good stuff in there - and a nice guy running it. I got Mrs Bob's last birthday present from there - to great acclaim.
wasn't it because they're putting speed bumps in? Bits of Kellett road are shut this morning i think because of that.

The guy's lovely in there, but I have no idea how its surviving really. It's always empty and despite the owner's aforementioned loveliness, we've only ever purchased one item from there ourselves and that's in many years.
Always pleasantly surprised that Matooke House, a place that seems to outwardly specialise in not selling many small, sweet bananas, has proved so long lived. FWIW the large shop that used to sell baby clothes and goods also seems to have morphed into a tattoo place/gallery with minimal signage.
What do you mean "still a rubbish boozer" ?
The Goose was quality
Along with the Beehive, they were the only two unpretencious, yuppy-free pubs left in Brixton.
I don't understand this reverse snobbery! When I'm using a cash machine late at night in Brixton, I'm not looking over my shoulder for yuppies! Frankly, the sooner Brixton becomes a nice middle class area the better!

Well, you're entitled to your suspicions, but that doesn't make them correct! Nah, have been lurking/reading for a while, and having wanted to join some talks/debates/other polite term in the past I reckoned I should register so I could ship in. Why, is my nick similar to some banned deadbeat?
