The weird thing is it didn’t when we were in the old tier system! So I was told you could only eat/drink there with your household or bubble.

I went to Tooting market last night and was pretty surprised that all the bars are takeaway only, so everyone has to stand on the street outside the market. Strange how the rules are different in Brixton.
On the plus side, most bars in Tooting market were cheap. One place was knocking out pints of Superbock for £3.50 which is sensible pricing.

In photos: Friday night al fresco drinking in Brixton on Station Road, Pop Brixton and Brixton Village
With the UK entering Step Three of lockdown restrictions on Monday, this should be the last weekend of enforced al fresco drinking. If you’re coming into town tonight and haven’t booke…

Jay Rayner gives the Del Boy themed joint in pop Brixton a review in the guardian...
“ punning name; a cheeky twist; a shipping container. I can well imagine certain people getting quite cross and sweary”

Only Food and Courses, London: ‘Deserves to be taken seriously’ – restaurant review
The Del Boy pun is a laugh, but there’s real intent behind the cooking at this Brixton venture, finds Jay Rayner

Yeah, that's really Del Boy Peckham.

If was going to eat that sort of food, with caviar and lobster included, I probably wouldn't want to eat it beside an old shipping container by Station Road, probably surrounded by tipsy tossers drinking craft beer and guffawing about past ski trips. Its a shame Rayner, who normally has no problem putting across his sometimes arrogant opinions, didn't give Pop Brixton in general a bit of a panning for the way it is financially run and how it actively excludes swathes of the local community.

Precisely. He could have mentioned the wall-to-wall white people sharply contrasting with the streets full of Jamaicans outside. This is the most shameful thing about Pop.

I would assume all of them are, apart from The Albert as already mentioned. Ill be glad to not have to sit outside and leave after a couple of hours due to the cold.

The Elm Park Tavern sacked all of its staff rather than furlough them. Please consider using other pubs.

Oh interesting. There was a fair bit of that going on in hospo, sadly.
I thought the pub changed hands during lockdown as the couple that were running it immediately before (March 2020) seemed like old school publicans - they had another pub elsewhere. Then at some point during the last year a new crew took it over. Can't quite remember when they did, but think it was later in the year.

Nice to see the jazz back at The Effra Hall Tavern last night.
I expect that land is theirs - comes with the building.

Well done to Brixton Spirits for raising £800 for the Brixton Food Bank, and not even mentioning it in their press release or creating an expensive promo video to make sure everyone heard about their philanthropy.

Friendship Adventure at 245a Coldharbour Lane looks very vibrant tonight. [Coldharbour Works]
Masked security man pacing up and down outside - but inside seemed full of non-masked revelers aged 30 max and in fairly uninhibited in your face conversations.
The decor is no doubt antique industrial chic - maybe Victorian carpentry work shop or such, but the lighting seems very bright. Looks like a more comfortable version of Pop Brixton perhaps.

I'm gonna try it - but when and if they have the OAP hour at 6 pm.....looks like a pub by another name

Friendship Adventure is a craft beer brewery based in London, creating refreshing sessionable beer. Something to enjoy with friends.friendship-adventure.com
I can't face imbibing in company of 50 LJ debuntantes (and their companions).

There's an older brewery than Friendship Adventure that I can't recall seeing mentioned on here: Dog's Grandad Arch 550 Brixton Station Road.
This is next to Brixton Brewery, bur seems completely different.
They had a few tables out doing tap room trade the other day.
I expect - but don't know - that this is cans, either pale ale or session IPA, since this is what their website advertises by way of off-sales.

BTW there is a major consolidation currently in the brewing industry. All very well editor 's beef about Brixton Brewery and Heineken - how about Carlsberg Marstons Brewing, which must have taken control recently of half the real ale production in the UK now, everything from McEwan's Champion Ale to Wells Bombadier, not to mention Old Empire and Ringwood Old Thumper?
That is not to mention Fullers now owned by Asahi and Greene King owned by Cheung Kong Asset Holdings - and Camden Brewery owned by Anheiser Busch Inbev ie Stella/Budweiser
I thing I might pop down down the road for a Dog's Grandad whilst it's still independent.
