It wasn't carols but it certainly felt a bit Christmassy (in a non commercial, all ages, local pub kind of way).Carols around the Xmas tree?

I went to 'Loki' on Friday. Nice little club and not bad house/techno music. Security and staff very friendly, there was no airport search and things were generally relaxed. Its got potential.
Not many people there though, but not surprising that it had just opened and had DJ's id never heard of playing.

They seem to be intentionally keeping things very low key too.
What's the benefit of that?

Maybe they want it to grow organically by word of mouth rather than hyping it up to the max from the very start.
Just thought that might be dicey if they want to be financially viable.

So I went along to Beetle Juice. I don't really know an awful lot about cocktails but they seemed tasty enough and my friend - who knows about these things - was full of praise.
Staff were friendly although it can get a bit nippy so close to the Pope's Road entrance.

We’ve got to admit we’re really not cocktail bar types here at Brixton Buzz, but when Beetle Juice invited us down for some free booze, how could we resist? And we’re glad that we…

Where might have a bit of atmosphere for the football at this time of day? The Marquis of Lorne is sadly empty

Albert/Effra Social/Duke of Edinburgh/Effra Hall Tavern might be worth a shot

With Canopy Brewery closing down we're also losing the Sympathetic Ear in Tulse Hill as they're linked.
It's shutting next Friday according to the staff.
Which means that there's no bars or pubs left in what was the old Tulse Hill ward. Well except that tapas bar at the crypt. But that's more of a restaurant.

Lambeth allegedly has the second cheapest beer in London*

Revealed: London’s priciest (and cheapest) places to buy a pint
The average pint costs up to twice as much depending on which London borough you’re buying it in

In other news, Brixton Bid paid me do a DJ set at the Prince Albert (I've still no idea why!) but it turned out to be quite lively. I'm personally investing in some PA gear to bring the sound up to scratch and I'm cautiously optimistic that better times are ahead for this splendid old boozer.

Had lunch at the relocated Rancho de Lalo behind the Town Hall today. Love the venue, staff were ace and the food was very tasty. It seemed quite pricey with generous mains £16-20 (I seem to recall that from before the move too). The day's specials are good value at about £9.50 for a big main but they were a tad fishy for me today.

Yep that's correct - was in the White Horse last night for the football and asked the manager to confirm. Very excited.

Who knew that the Laundry - with its £25 mains and £84 bottles of champagne -was a 'hub for locals'?

Our Lifestyle Expert reviews The Laundry's Brunch Menu
"We’re sitting at a sunlit table at The Laundry, named so because it’s housed in an Edwardian building that used to be, you guessed it, a laundry. Though trends may change, the exposed brick walls, distressed plaster, and muted colour scheme that the restaurant plays with are all still easy on...

Another bought review, not a negative word in there.
I assume this kind of bullshit games algorithms.

Good to see it confirmed.
Hopefully that will help with staffing issues too, having two locations close by

I tend to avoid it, as it is a Youngs, but are there any pints of lager around the £5 mark in The Trinity? Or is it all £6.50 craft nonsense?

Dogstar can barely be arsed to open, as is the norm these days

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Franco Manca was in meltdown tonight - only two serving staff and the ordering system was down.
The waiter oscillated between blasé (trying to remember order without writing it down) and apologetic. Feel sorry for under-resourced staff but really he wasn’t helping himself.
A rare occasion on which I would have refused to pay service charge but he comped a beer so we left it at that.

Lazy post here but what’s a good place to get settled down for a full day’s laptop work nowadays in Brixton? I’m assuming coffee shop hence asking here. I’d have headed to Costa in the past but I see it’s closed after a returning after so long
The kind of place where you can go to the toilet for a good five minute doomscroll without worry for your stuff
Ideally decent prices on food and drinks to boot
