It is - I've just edited it. The heat is making me more dozy than usual. Coffee needed!

That's just what Brixton needs. More people.

Undermining strikes :-(
If they're spending money in the local economy then I'm not totally opposed to it, but it remains to be seen how many local people will actually be employed (are employed) in the new places that are opening.
Having said that I went to see Alan Partridge at the Ritzy a few weeks ago on a Thursday with a friend and we tried to eat in Market Row/Granville afterwards and the queues for pretty much everything were monumental. I refuse to wait an hour for a sodding burger without even being offered a drink....

Completely agree. I avoid from Thursday till after the weekend- but have had great lunches in there while I've been off pregnant (that crêpe place is lovely...)... but that isn't the fault of the village/row as much as my preference, which is to relax over a longer meal rather than be hustled to hurry up so they can get someone else sat down.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
I take it you would have preferred Brindisa to have opened a branch earlier then.

The Albert might stay open till 12 if it's busy. Same goes for Market House. But you'd be chancing it tbh.
Thanks for the speedy response. Yeah, Market House and Dogstar both say 11 closing which got me thinking maybe it's a general licensing thing for CHL and the Albert will be 11 as well.

Thinking about it, if you're prepared for a short walk, The Queens Head on Stockwell Road is probably your best bet if you want to stay out till 12. Or even 1

It's frustratingly difficult to get a drink after 11pm in Brixton mid-week. Whatever happened to the 24 hour drinking we were promised eh?
If you're prepared to walk 10 minutes up the road, however, Effra Social and Gremio both claim to be open till midnight on a Wednesday.

Yes that was always a good late night spot. It was all shut up last time I walked past though so I assume it's gone?

Thanks for those but yeah was kinda hoping to avoid such a walk. Grand Union and Duke of Edinburgh are other slightly further out options. Duke's probably closest.

No, very much still open. Just somewhat 'erratic' hours sometimes. The windows were boarded up for a while for various reasons, so it looked shut even though it was open (they're back to normal now).
OK that's good to know. Thanks again

Albert is usually open till 12 and the Queens Head has a great reggae night on Wednesday that's (usually) open much later. The Atlantis advertises itself as open till midnight.

Brazas bought it/rented it and turned it into a little cocktail bar type place with two entrances, one from inside the restaurant and the other out front - we went to the opening night. But it didn't work out for them, so they sold it on and some other people opened it up - didn't go in after though.

Home is south London mate
It's a jazz bar isn't it?
Hootahobgoblin is open until 12 on a Weds, if you can be bothered to go that far cerv2005. Also Effra Social.

I'm really not bothered either way, I was just questioning Rayner's point about how wonderfully 'local' they were given the fact that all their branches have been situated miles away in posher parts of town.

When he says "local" does he mean the borough market operation because that's nearer four miles ?

Maybe he's talking about the pre-retail/restaurant days in which case he probably means the place the cheese and wine was stored before shipping it out to posh restaurants and grocers

I don't know anything about Brindisa tbh.. but I assumed from his comment something along the lines of what you've just said - or perhaps the people who started it did so from Dulwich or, Tulse Hill or Streatham or something...
