Brixton food & drink news: new restaurants, bars, pop ups, cafes and more

I read an article (on 'Ladbible') saying that "The Craft Beer Co" on Station Road are selling a bottle of beer for £47 .

A lot of craft beer places have a range of 750ml bottles that are usually quite pricey, say £15-25 but I've never seen a £47 bottle

And imagine drinking it in a soulless bar on Station Road where a pint of Superbock next door is about £3.80.

Most expensive I can see on their site is £29

DECADENCE 2015 - ALESMITH

750ML

10.0%

£29.00

Their keg beer is well pricey too, all around £6 and up to £21.50.

It's an awful looking place anyway.

Any verdict on the Dogs Grandad? - 2 arches down from Brixton Brewery.
IMHO neither that, nor the Brixton Brewery tap look inviting - but in the summer and in lock-down they did offer outdoor drinking.

I disagree about the Craft Beer place looking naff. It's usually overcrowded though - and the upstairs seems a potential death trap if the building caught fire.

Had a beer at the Dogs Grandfather the other day and the brewer seemed interesting. He's an ex social worker from Hastings area.

I met the guy running it a while ago and he seemed a really nice bloke. I've been meaning to go back and do a proper feature.

...must be tricky doing a balanced review after sampling a few scoops but I guess someone’s got to do it...cheers

Me too. Not impressed first couple of times. But discovered the leopard something or other and changed my mind!

a couple of their ramens are amazing... I've had some hit and miss nights there, however the ramen always seems to impress

The Leopard is the correct choice.

My amazing friend Jo-Jo, who has been cooking food for those without during the pandemic, has started a Supper Club! Next two dates Fri 19 November and Fri 17 December in Loughborough Junction.
She and her volunteer chefs are amazing cooks and I promise you won't be disappointed - food is plant based and full of flavour. And it's all for a good cause
For every two tickets sold, a member of the community (Loughborough Junction/Brixton) is invited as a guest of honour to have their voices heard.

Now I'm back working in Brixton sometimes, I'm on the lookout again for nice (ie healthy and inexpensive) lunches. Suggestions?

 

[nagapie]

There's a lot of Brixton lunch I like and not super unhealthy but none of it cheap so only as treats. Watching to see what others come up with.

 

[RubyToogood]

Falafel wrap from the van on Pope's Rd is not a bad option btw.

Not sure about healthiness but Rancho De Lalo and santafereno are both great lunch spots.

Maybe one of the vegan ethiopian places?

 

[DietCokeGirl]

Soup from the Morrocan Cafe on station Road

Big ol' sandwich or roll from Fuchal Bakery (not sure about healthy is it but their omelette baps are huge)

Orrical juice bar/ Ital take away in Brixton Villge for soup, salad and sandwiches.

If you have some prep & storage space, grab bread and fillings, or a ready meal, from Iceland.

Market House is reopening its upstairs club on weekends

Market House reopens its upstairs club in Brixton from Fri 19th Nov 2021

After a long period of inactivity, the downstairs area of the Market House bar/club reopened as the Karakana Indian Diner back in September 2021. We wondered what was going to happen to the upstair…

Hoorah !

Seeing as San Marino was rammed, I bought a coffee at Federation for the first time in years. £3.10 for an extremely average Americano. Won't be back again!

Oh and they shut at 2pm so I gotta drink fast.

Does anyone know what's going on with the old Starbucks site right next to the Tube?

Not sure, but if even Starbucks threw in the towel with 32 million potential customers walking past it into the tube per year, then good luck to the next person who takes it on.

Anti-social behaviour seems to have played its part in Starbucks closing Brixton news, rumours and general chat: Summer 2019

Having just seen the queue in the Pret a few doors down, feel it could be an absolute gold mine for someone.
Hadn't realised the need for sandwiches/coffee was so great in Brixton.

The old 7-Eleven store on the opposite side of the entrance used to attract all sorts of grief too.,

 

[coldwaterswim]

Does anyone know what happened to that bird place on electric avenue? I feel like its been shut for months but no sign of anything new going there.

 

[editor]

Can't remember if I mentioned it before but that posh antique clothing unit in Market Row by the entrance to Atlantic Road has predictably turned into a cocktail bar.

I see yet another cocktail-shunting alcohol outlet has opened up in Market Row where that vintage clothes place was (right by the entrance from Atlantic Road).

If you are/were worried about El Rancho de Lalo disappearing from Brixton Market/Village - fear not - they've got a brand spanking new larger premises now, just behind/beside the Town Hall on Buckner Road. Already open and serving or so they told me today. Menu looks a hair more expensive and with slightly fewer options than before, but still offering plenty of ways to fill up for under £8 and vast set meals which would feed 2 or 3 people comfortably for £16-18. It's all pretty meat heavy but you already knew that. Some good weekday lunch offers too. Open 0900 onwards, not sure how late though. I'll be checking it out soon.

Thanks for this.
Really good news.

Assuming from the address of "The Press" at 1 Buckner Road that they must be in the single storey building that was previously Lambeth Council's in-house reprographics department?
