    Understated cocktail bar which has a huge space at the back for more tables and people. It's a really welcoming venue with lots of little touches like pictures, drinks and bottles. The cocktail bar is right in front of you and looks like a workshop! Good value for cocktails at £10 ish each. Great for dates or catching up in general. Does do food and also wine but we didn't indulge.

    Do not walk… but run, to this extraordinary bar. They know exactly what they’re talking about and will deliver both the drama and the drinks for any discerning guest. Their menu cocktails are great, but don’t be afraid to challenge the staff with your preferences and you’ll get a great recommendation. We went after a gig at the Brixton Academy and it was like having a bonus, additional night out. Highly recommended.

    Staff are great, cocktails are top notch. No scrimping on the measures but not at the detriment to the overall flavour. They also have a few cocktails that bring a bit of theatre to proceeding (I won's spoil that bit as it's fun to find out for yourself). I was lucky enough to taste several of their "one weekend only" cocktails, as a member of the team - much like any classic cop buddy movie - "came out of retirement" for one last time. Will definitely go back there - great for small groups of friends or for a date.

    On walking in its a little hidden gem, looking a bit like a coffee shop, chilled vibes and the bar snacks are gorgeous. We loved the manchego Croquettes. The drinks menu is hard to understand but the servers are happy to explain. The drinks are very unique, they are small and strong. We had 2 each and we werent that fussed maybe we chose the wrong ones but I had a strong smokey one

    Amazing cocktail bar with delicious drinks. Made a booking for 10 on short notice and the staff were awesome! They were more than happy to take requests for cocktails and made some cracking creations.

    5* - would really recommend this place! Came here for drinks last night. The staff were very friendly and made a proper effort to ensure that we were happy and comfortable. The cocktails were very tasty and the overall vibes were great. Will 100% be returning soon on a Friday/Saturday to listen to one of the DJs!

    Amazing night here! Brilliantly curated food and drink menu which changes often. Service was top drawer and the soundtrack was great too! One of the best bars in London IMO

    The best pisco sours, absolutely delicious food and the orange wine was a TREAT! It’s a super cosy vibe, perfect for a date. And the owners are really lovely - even gave us an extra free treat. If you live in Brixton, this is a must visit!!!!

    Lovely place, was very empty the night we went (more staff than people drinking!) unfortunately. Great cocktail menu. Would love to see a non-alcoholic/virgin selection offered also.

    I've been there 4 or 5 times since the new management took over, and I've gotta say that it's becoming my new favourite spot in Brixton. Super cosy vibe, great music, attentive and knowledgeable staff, fantastic fresh food, and very good, balanced cocktails that are on point! A must visit in South London.

    Amazing spot tucked away in Brixton away from the madness of the strip but close enough to the action. Great cocktails, food and warm and welcoming vibes whilst also feeling like a cool hidden gem. They had a DJ playing vinyl records when I went which had me constantly reaching for my phone to Shazam. Plus would highly recommend for the 1st or 50th date. I’m Brixton born and raised and definitely my favourite spot. Had the pleasure of meeting the lovely couple who run it and their passion for the place definitely comes through in the food, drink and atmosphere. Looking forward to my next visit.

    Our favourite bar in south London! A lovely hidden spot with fabulous drinks and wonderful, welcoming staff. The drinks really are spectacular and original. We keep coming back to try the new specials. They always have flavours and combinations you couldn't find anywhere else.

    Go there and you will get the best cocktail in your life... And never want to have one elsewhere ever again... Trust me... It s insane... China and sparrow are just so amazing human being..

  • 4/5 Funki F. 5 months ago on Google
    Food was okay, I didn’t find the dining experience very comfortable, tables and chairs were a little rocky and all felt very cramped. Unfortunately a really quiet atmosphere when we went, but I’m sure it’s a bit more of a vibe when it’s busier ☺️

  • 5/5 Phillip C. 6 months ago on Google
    This is the cutest little place. Awesome cocktails, and great small plates. The old fashioned, amazing! Loved the the DJ in the back room too. Perfect for a date night. Will visit again.

    Honestly the best cocktails not a single thing on the menu isn't delicious. Started with the Mezcal based soup of the day and went from there! Staff are legends and the bar itself is so chilled.

    Best cocktail bar in Brixton alongside changing chef + food. I love this concept. Every drink is a journey with the chai one being my favourite. The food goes perfectly well with the drinks and the staff are always happy to help you with selection/pairing. Great staff, ambience, food and drink!

    Amazing experience. Delicious food, great drinks, nice atmosphere. Definitely coming back soon.

  • 5/5 Emmeline 1 year ago on Google
    Such an amazing find, very cute cocktail bar in Brixton with the friendliest staff. Super tasty Nepalese food as well

  • 5/5 Harry M. 1 year ago on Google
    Oh my goodness what a place, definitely one of the best places in Brixton for a cocktail/light food. Would recommend to anyone wanting an intimate space for a group of 2 to 6 ish, although I think they do cater for larger parties. Literally 5 minutes from the station and 1 minute from brixton village. Don't make the excuse that it's out the way! It's worth the (tiny) walk.

  • 5/5 Yasmin I. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing drinks, as someone who only drinks rum and coke, being recommended a drink (maitai) by Spiro what great, I really liked it and will definitely order again. Chynna was really friendly and accommodating when we enter, she assisted wus th recommendations alongside Spiro and as a business owner I am very happy with the service.

  • 5/5 io A. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved the vegan menu ,chef Tomaso and friends are really great. high quality food, very consistent and fresh. Nice drinks too like 7 minutes walking from brixton station. Reasonable prices.

  • 5/5 Harriet R. 3 years ago on Google
    Great cocktails, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and a buzzing atmosphere. Most cocktails are around £10, and there's an amazing small plates menu. The cocktail menu is totally weird and wonderful, but the bar tenders will gladly make you classics if you fancy something more standard. Worth booking a table, as it's often very busy.

  • 5/5 Tanja B. 2 years ago on Google
    Chyna, Spiros and Luke and their team looked after me and my group of friends for my birthday and made it the most memorable get together I could have wished for. The service is outstanding - even when managing 22 individual tabs!!! the food was delightful and of course the drinks as well. I have been visiting the S&S for many years and the current team is doing the founders justice by delivering a standout experience! A gem in Brixton and London

    Cocktails and service was amazing 5* definitely would recommend and visit again!

  • 5/5 Luis N. 2 years ago on Google
    Gutted to have not heard about this place sooner. After living in Brixton for the last three years I was taken here for some late night drinks by a friend and was amazed at the selection and standard of cocktails. This place has a great vibe to it / can imagine being the perfect date spot. Special mention to our host China who gave great recommendations and was generally very lovely. Will for sure be coming back!

    Stumbled upon this place on Friday and really happy we did. Absolutely the best cocktails I've ever had and the current chef's menu pairs excellently with them. Great atmosphere great vibe, cocktails and food. Couldn't ask for more.

    Was introduced to the place a week ago and gotta say - very impressed! The place has this cosy, intimate vibe with a few small tables in the front, which is great for dates, but there’s also some bigger space for bigger get togethers in the back. We tried marinated olives (delicious product), empanadillas (perfect crispiness), croquettas de manchego (sooo nice and creamy inside), bavette steak (fire!), roasted fennel (liked the nutty finishing A LOT) and finished it all off with some really hot oxtail nuggets. Especially the latter were something to write home about. Actually, everything was, including delicious cocktails and very professional yet friendly staff <3 (thank you so much Alfie and Claudia!). I hope I’ll be able to drop by again sooner than later!

    Great atmosphere and even better drinks. The Pisco Sour was one of the best I've had outside of Chile! My new favourite venue.
