Can't say I'd go to craft beer co often - but it does have a huge and interesting selection of ales and ciders. It has novelty value that younger people seem to like - I've taken younger friends there (in an effort not to seem like the old stick in the mud that I am) and they loved it.
What kind of women do you get in the Beehive these days? last time I went, years ago, it was very, very blokey.

There was a great night of African jazz on at the 414 on Sunday night.

There's a guy in a 2nd floor flat on Helix road who has been cranking out the shittest tunes so loud all day. He's still doing it now. It's driving me to distraction... I can't hear the olympics commentary over his music, despite closed doors and windows.
Every day we get this. Any suggestions other than throwing rocks through his window? Hesitant to call the noise pollution people in case it just exacerbates matters.

Rushy
basically a scrotum
I reckon rocks and noise team pretty much covers all the main bases.
Noise control are supposed to keep things confidential. That said, when someone complained about a party I had, my other half mailed them asking who had complained. They emailed back in a rather pompous and wordy manner saying that they were bound by the strictest industry codes of confidentiality and would never share that information. Attached to that same email was a letter addressed to my neighbour but one, advising them that the nuisance they had reported had been dealt with.

Street Party: July 2
Every day? You probably need to keep a diary or something to help your cause, if you want to take some form of action.
Hit back with heavy metal.

I complained once about a girl, whose mother was away, having a party at 2am.
The noise people came out. As we shared an intercom, I listened to their exchange and the Lambeth people were very good.
They phoned me back 15 minutes later and told me if it didn't quieten down to give them another call.
They then sent a letter to them, complaining about the noise, addressed to the mother.
A good service and discreet when I called them.

The only civilized way to deal with it is complaining to the Council
You need to say this is occurring on a regular basis.
The Council can take action. From what u say this is unreasonable level of noise. They need to come out and witness the noise nuisance themselves.
However actually getting the Council to act is another matter. They are good at fobbing people off. It is a service they are supposed to offer residents.You should not have to live with this.

I was in there last Sat afternoon. Mixed crowd at the back of the pub.
It does a good range of beers. Its also much cheaper than other pubs.
Unfortunately no exotic Balkan air hostesses.
I think Tony Moody, who runs the academy, is on linkedi.
Whats the best pub in Brixton for a "date" on a Wednesday night?
Yes.....I've already suggested the Beehive.

Crown and Anchor, if you can be bothered to go up that far.

Kaff can be quite a nice cosy place for a date although it's not exactly 'pubby.' Otherwise it has to be the Albert, obvs

It might have to be Kaff then....the Albert is the default already

Maybe that's why wine bars such as C+F are on the up - New Brixtonians in a more gender-equal environment.
Beehive customers are mainly regulars, who you seem to feel are gender non-inclusive or tourists passing through for a Jagermeister and pee before/after the Academy, Plan B etc. Plenty of women in that lot, but hardly convivial since they tend to move in groups of friends.
I'm not doing Valentines Day this year, it's all a load of old pony.

I've taken people on 'dates' to the albert before. Not recommended if you're any kind of local there as theres people you know distracting you constantly.
I'd go for the Trinity I think if you cant be arsed getting up to the Crown and Anchor.
Good idea....might meet in the Albert as close to the tube for her and then head to the Effra after.
