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

Underdog, Brewdog, Dogstar - it's like a bleeding kennel lalong that strip.
Do you think they might be connected with the Underdog Group? If so they are quite a large diversified chain - but not immune to bad business decisions.

It would seem odd if someone else used the Underdog name for a restaurant without permission - that's the sort of thing people get into legal disputes over.
 
Here's that new Italian deli/cafe on Coldharbour Lane. They've done a pretty amazing job on the interior. Weren't the friendliest folks when I visited though. It was completely empty too.

It was open earlier when I went past, quite a few people in there. I’m really hoping that door is yet to be finished.
'Scuse me while I stifle a yawn:

They couldn't have picked a worse time to open their 'neighbourhood bar' (whatever the fuck that is) too.

Whilst that is true, how could they have know we would be in a major health panic/crisis when they started preparations?

Of course they couldn't know, but by coming up with such a clichéd offering, I suspect they're going to find it hard to muster up much community support in these tough times.
 
The Beehive is now closed, alongside all other bars & restaurants.
I believe it opened in 1992 or 1993, having previously been a shoe shop.
I am hoping that it returns in all its sordid glory. I have had some happy times there over the last 15 years.
 
Does anyone know when Khans in Water Lane is open? I tried calling them tonight around 7pm but no answer and I need a curry!
 
Majestic Restaurant on Codharbour Lane has become a branch of Nigerian restaurant/lounge, Enish, and had a modern shopfront installed.
They get good reviews on Trip Advisor ENISH RESTAURANT, London - Updated 2020 Restaurant Reviews, Menu, Prices & Restaurant Reviews - Food Delivery & Takeaway - Tripadvisor
Actually the latest five are stinkers.

There accounts are overdue at Companies House
 
Looks like The Crown & Sceptre had a lick of paint in April/May ready for a reopening (pics from their FB page).

Hoping that they will be able to do that soon. Especially as they have the large outdoors area.

I wonder if gazebos in pub gardens are acceptable if they have open sides (the same as smoking rules)..

Good old U.K tapas places. Among the biggest rip off eateries going, perhaps the idea which spawned all the bastard child 'small plates' restaurants.

A little plate of 4 croquettes- £6. Some slices of chorizo- £7. Any kind of feed approaching a full meal- £20 at least.

The type of things that in Spain quite a lot of bars give you for free when you buy a few bottles of 3 euro beers.

Yep. And nu-Brixton laps it up along with those £5 small cans of lager (or perhaps a full-pint-priced 2/3rds of a pint glass of beer) to complement those rip-off small plates nibbles.
