Checked out Bebs Kitchen yesterday. Ate in, food brilliant and Beb gave a little impromptu live guitar performance. 40 quid for 2 people and we had a lot of food.
I fear for the future of the Albert.Not really. Largely empty inside, quite a few people in the garden, one group blasting their own music on portable speakers to the irritation of other, older drinkers.
Together with the above, and the manager being suspended, you wonder how long Greene King will put up with it before they make some big changes. They are a huge Pubco with profits to be made, after all.
Suspended Wojek.Wnat did Greene King do?
Heard about the incident recently, hardly the staff's fault!Suspended Wojek.
Separately , got a daily bouncer after a hideous incident a couple of weeks ago.
Bouncer moans about cannabis. Hardly any punters.
Ah fuck, gutted to hear this.I was shocked to find my fav brixton pub landlord has been suspended and barred from his pub. My custom is definitely elsewhere now.
I got dragged to the one by oxford circus, a grim experience...Yeah, great ;/
US burger chain Five Guys to open in Electric Lane, Brixton
Brixton is getting another multinational burger chain in the form of Five Guys, which will be opening in Electric Lane soon.www.brixtonbuzz.com
I have fond memories of the one in covent garden..i was a runner for a vfx place and i got sent there to pick up lunch for people on the day it opened (i remember there was a lot of excitement about it). There was a massiveeee queue and I got to chill out in the sunshine for ages waiting for the food ha. It’s never appealed to me as the veggie options look quite boring and I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s overrated.I got dragged to the one by oxford circus, a grim experience...
Yeah, great ;/

I dislike Meat Liquor ('Dead Hippie' lolz ) but I think they can at least claim to have started out quite small in South London, and do give discount to Dulwich Hamlet fans before and after the game in the East Dulwich branch.The building was going to be used by the grim-sounding, Meat Liquor hipster chain, so I guess that Five Guys are marginally less awful, not that I'll ever be buying anything from them.
It looks like many of this place's 5 star reviews on Trip Advisor are written by reviewers with 1 review to their name, which means they either bribed customers to do it or simply wrote the reviews themselves. Im glad of the honest article you have posted, as it means i wont be fooled into ever eating there.A recent review of the Brixton branch of the Turtle Bay chain:
I ate at Trip Advisor's top rated Caribbean restaurant in London and it gave me a stomach ache
I really liked their original outlet in New Cross. Fantastic burgersI dislike Meat Liquor ('Dead Hippie' lolz ) but I think they can at least claim to have started out quite small in South London, and do give discount to Dulwich Hamlet fans before and after the game in the East Dulwich branch.
Five Guys is an American McDonald's type place (probably with thousands of outlets) with a USP of charging more money for their fast food burger and fries. Im not sure the savvy kids of Brixton will be fooled into paying more than McD's for their food, it would be amusing if 'Five Guys' was a failure, like that 'Dirty Burger' (or whatever it was called) turned out to be.
Think it's also partly as the author of the article suggests, a lot of them have been posted by people that just for the drinks, take up residency and get pished. So naturally they think it's great.It looks like many of this place's 5 star reviews on Trip Advisor are written by reviewers with 1 review to their name, which means they either bribed customers to do it or simply wrote the reviews themselves.

That bouncer at the Albert isn't exactly noted for his cheery disposition, is he?
True, and maybe a free round of watery shots if you go on TripAdvisor there and then and big them upThink it's also partly as the author of the article suggests, a lot of them have been posted by people that just for the drinks, take up residency and get pished. So naturally they think it's great.
Sure but this guy radiates unfun vibes like misery quasar . The one time I spoke to him he was telling me of his violent past. Yeah, great conversation....guess in that line of work you don’t wanna get too friendly with the punters in case you need to sling them out....
.....it’s one way to shut down a conversation for sure.Sure but this guy radiates unfun vibes like misery quasar . The one time I spoke to him he was telling me of his violent past. Yeah, great conversation.
