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

yeah, i liked it too.

Nice to see Khans investing in a refurb. Although they do seem to be going at about the same slow pace as whatever the new curry house in Market House is going to be.

Japanese-themed restaurant coming to Market Row

Temaki, London’s first authentic handroll bar comes to Market Row in Brixton

Brixton Village continues to shift upmarket with the opening of the Japanese themed Temaki, which describes itself as ‘London’s first authentic handroll bar.’ The eat-in only restaurant…

I had to go to Abbevilles yesterday and I noticed that King and Co next door is proudly showing a Portobello Breweries illuminated sign.
Their website indicates a large number of pubs in south London are now part of this chain, not just the Effra Social but many more.
Presumably a number are ex-Antic, though Antic is still a large local chain.

Anybody have any observations? The drinks prices at King and co seem high to me - few pints less than a fiver.
Presumably this explains why Portobello have diversified from brewing to pub management?

I can't think of any pub that isn't ticketed and sold out for tonight unless anyone knows better?

Where to watch the Euro 2020 final in Brixton tonight…

At 8pm tonight, England take on Italy in the final of the Euro 2020 competition – but can you still get to watch the game in Brixton?

I heard a rumour last night that Pop Brixton are trying to charge people £120 to enter and watch the match.

I think that's wildly unlikely but Brixton's 'green oasis' has certainly pushed out the nationwide PR for promoting it as the go-to boozer.

Oh no, I take that back. What a bunch of fucking rip off merchants



And you might get kicked off your table one hour after the final whistle.

I bet they’re gutted they didn’t reopen that weird sport bar set up on the old Canterbury Arms site..

Imagine how good the Canterbury would have been for watching the games..

I was hoping it wasn't true, but there you go. That's disgraceful. I'm not sure who is worse, them for charging it, or those who are willing to pay it.

In truth I am not a big footie fan, even less so in a pub setting, but a great loss for those who are....

Are the bars cool with you using their toilets? I'd rather not piss on the street if i can help it.

Just piss up against Pop Brixton.

Payback.

Craft are fine with toilet use

It appears that POW have changed their jazz night to Wednesday's, put it upstairs in the club bit, and brought the closing time forward to midnight.

This is a real shame, and makes me unlikely to go there much again in the future. Having worked there for a bit, i know that all the drinks served in the club and terrace areas are in dirty plastic cups and are more expensive than the pub bit. Its shit as well that it is no longer on a Thursday night, which breaks a bit of a tradition. I expect they will fill the pub on Thursday evenings with more cheese music instead.

From my experience, local venues are less keen on live bands now and more interested in DJ nights.

Is this cost ?

 

[editor]

Is this cost ?

My understanding is that it's partly costs but mainly down to serving the new Brixton demographic who - in general - aren't that bothered about live music.

Haven’t been in since they reopened but the new outdoors space round the side of the church looks nice from the outside...
also fans of vegan nosh might be interested in a new Ethiopian joint a bit further down towards Oval ( speaking of which calling the area Brixton is a bit of a stretch but never mind...) I forgot the name of the Ethiopian cafe tho..!

edit....the name of the Ethiopian joint is Rhoda worth a look if you are passing editor , I also noticed the Van Gogh set up is offering free daytime WiFi TIL 5pm....

Anyone know what the deal is with Effra Hall Tavern? There were some signs in the window previously but those have gone and not been able to find anything online or on here.

Their website just says "we'll be back soon" and there's nothing on any on their (mainly defunct) social media channels.

I might be walking past tonight - if so, I'll see if I can find out what's going on.

I've never particularly liked the place.

It turned from a cabbie‘s afternoon boozer to a quiz night for Miranda and Barnaby in around 2014. Clientele consist of marketing teams on a jolly (pre-COVID) and the ‘having a pint after a round of golf with the boys‘ crowd.

Good to see Ed mixing with the locals on coldharbour tonight

It's also pretty busy for the concert crowd. Plenty of people used to pop in en route to the Academy

That's a bit weird and stalky if you don't have the courtesy to introduce yourself.
