Ha.. yeh, the girl who served me justified it with 'it's a premium international beer'. which is true. but then so is kronenbourg by that logic.
(Sierra nevada - £5 for 4 bottles in tesco down the road, this place £8 a pint, and no it wasn't the 'Celebration', just the regular one)
I've *never* paid £8 a pint, anywhere.
Still. It was packed with affluent looking younguns so clearly their market research was good..

My rule of thumb in these pubs is cask beer is around three quid a pint, keg can be anything from four to nine depending on rarity and strength. I don't mind sometimes paying four quid for a half pint of thick eleven percent imperial stout. I think of it as like drinking wine.

Nope. Just ordered a pint of what should be the cheapest pint on the list. And was genuinely surprised to see a price tag of £8.
Er, that's all there is to it, sorry onket. I hope they don't put 'cheap bar' anywhere near their ads, for your sake
I have never seen or heard of anyone being threatened with being chucked out of a pub anywhere for asking how much a pint was.
Fair play to you for sticking to your story, though.

One on one? You're crazy.
drink Ale - you'll be spending about £3.50 a pint then

lager over ale ? 
I am an occasional lager drinker btw - it does all taste pretty similar

then the crown and anchor is not for you tbf - go and drink Fosters at any other pub

cheaper lager is available at many other local pubsOh... The irony of a website with a section mourning the loss of traditional local pubs celebrating the opening of a pub where the cheapest pint of lager is £5....

It serves ale. It has tables and chairs.
There's no music. There's no DJ booth. There's no Sky Sports TV screens. There's no retro-leather sofas and faux vintage tat all over the place.

The pub design itself is very basic and doesn't really have a style. The clientelle (from what I've seen on my two visits) mostly matches the beer prices. Not particularly trendy, but well off.
Yeh. I think i was living around there in those days. Proper stinky old place.. good to hide away from the lady when required
I do wonder what happens to all the old fellas who used to drink in all these places (this place, the florence, the regent etc) before they get re-furbed... the beehive can only hold so many

A fair proportion have shuffled off to the the great pub in the sky that never calls time.

The pub was falling apart and into oblivion.
Such is the way of pubs these days, just opening an 'ordinary' boozer is unlikely to attract many punters. I'm glad it;s back and has had money invested in it. We've already lost far too many boozers in Brixton.
Yes it's better that it's alive in whatever way.I think part of it is my age,aside from the Albert I don't think there's a pub in Brixton I'd feel comfortable in anymore.The days are long gone for the likes of the New Queens,the Angel,Atlantic,Green Man,Warrior,Coach and Horses,Vomitorium (Bradys)etc.They all died because of ruthless extortion by the breweries and I fear we won't see their ilk again.(cries in beer)
