basically a scrotum
I'd guessed that they sold burgers. Hadn't considered that they do cocktails. I wonder whether letting people know something that they did not already know might have been behind this line of advertising?

They're now trying to attract the Brixton Academy crowd with 20% off deals if you show your ticket. They're all about DJs and cocktails now too.
Fuck, I miss Kaff.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Gravy in cocktails coming soon.

Even the George Canning now has a massive neon illuminated Cocktail sign in the pool room.

I was chatting to a friend of mine last night. Born and bred in Brixton, she's just turned 24 and returned from 4 years in Australia. She said the first night she went out in Brixton after coming back ended up with her going home in tears at how the town had changed. Kaff, Grosvenor, Queen's Head, Canterbury all gone, the Albert transformed and loads of her childhood shops and cafes turned into hipster joints and bouncer patrolled themed restaurants. I imagine it must have been a hell of a shock for her: she felt that the town had been "taken over" by people who would never have come near the place ten years ago. And then I told her about Dexter's

Oh, here's some things happening over the weekend: What’s on in Brixton this weekend: bars, gigs and clubs around town, Fri 7th- 9th Oct 2016
From what I saw from the street, the Kasabian crowd would have wrecked the place.

Local people talk about local businesses on local forum shock!
The point being that to anyone who knows the history of this particular row of shops, business after business failed miserably, until Steve from Kaff made it a roaring success thanks to his incredible energy.
The greedy landlords looked to capitalise on his work by tripling the rents, but maybe it's not turning out to be as easy for the new tenants to replicate this success, hence the shifting focus on booze and increased advertising. I'd say that's worth talking about on a Brixton thread that's all about general local chat.

I wish they'd leaflet the Beehive. Unable to get in yesterday - they were overcapacity with Academy fans.

That would all have been fine and dandy but for the fixation on the product being promoted (the hated cocktail) rather than a general interest in the financial health of local businesses.

I can see you're struggling to comprehend the wider issue here, so I'll leave you to your pointless sarcastic one-liners.

The one on brixton Hill?
Although possibly discretionary as he gave me a free one and my son a couple of chips and a lolly while we waited

Olley's in Herne Hill. Perfectly complements their 'small' fish, which is literally dwarfed by a fish finger. West Ham fans are up in arms over £9 for fish and chips at the Olympic Stadium. It's £11.20 in Olley's. Ultimate rip-off.'

£2.60 for the smallest cod and chips in Knights Hill Fish and Chip Shop and a very decent sized meal.

Talking of La Peck - she has published this refutation in the South London Press.
The Council are NOT doing social cleansing, neither are they closing any libraries.
And of course the council is supporting the businesses in the railway arches.
As Private Eye used to say - pass the sick bag, Alice.
Cllr Peck's Tweet of her SLP article was immediately re-tweeted by Chuka - who has now blotted his copybook as far as I'm concerned.
He looked to be doing OK on Question Time last night - but if he is going to be Mr Reasonable on the Telly, but simply re-Tweet a load of Newspeak locally, what chance it there.
Up yours Lib and Chuka I say.

I heard that his appearance was to tie in with a ceremony to celebrate the refurbishment of Electric Avenue. It was originally going to be at 5pm (when the traders would still be there, and so prove a useful boost to business) but then it got shifted to 8pm when they'll all be out of sight.
