    Curly fries, burger and passion fruit martinis were lovely. Mac and cheese was a tad bit plain . Staff were all super smiley and we ordered drinks from their app, despite it being full and busy , the drinks all came out fast . Outdoor seating was also very nice and very spacious , there were many heaters and a fire but it was a bit too far away from where we were sitting so we were still super cold. Other than that we had a lovely time .

    Came here to watch the women's Euro final and it was a great choice!! Really friendly and speedy staff and the atmosphere was energetic and aesthetically pleasing! Also it should be noted that we didn't have reservations but still got a great view of the screens!

    Cool pub. They have little huts out the back where you can sit with your pals. We had an acoustic guitar and a few pals and a had a great night. Funky kind decor and they serve pizzas also. What more do ya want?!

    Absolutely brilliant place, especially now during the pandemic if you would like to meet up with friends. Outside you can book a little "pod" which is just yours, oorder is going trough an app, you pay straight away amd don't need to stay in the queue at the bar, which can be very challenging in a oub after a while when people are not that sober anymore. Food was tasty too, staff friendly.

    One of the great bars to be at in summer! Massive beer garden with little huts that have built in heating for the colder nights, Amazing staff with table service outside and plenty of seating! Bar staff were great, personable and quick service with reasonably priced drinks and food. All around a great pub to be at!

    Lovely pub with an amazing vibe! Came here to celebrate my friends 27th birthday and we had a great experience - be sure to bring your ID as you will be asked before you get in. We had a hut to ourselves for all of her friends, and there’s contactless ordering for food and drinks.

    Birthday meal for 40 of us in the upstairs area. Mass catering in a pub on a Saturday night? It's going to be long waits and bad service right? WRONG! Becky was running the show upstairs and along with the other staff were superb - super-friendly, funny, efficient, accommodating and speedy. We'd booked our food in advance and more than happy. My chicken wings starters yumsville and generous portions. Burger great and desert too. Camden Hells and Pale on tap along with Neckoil. Tables and chairs briskly moved when done and DJ's kicked in for a boogie (not my music but then I'm more of a disco type - you can't please everyone :-) ). Recommended and particularly for big group bookings upstairs!

    Super friendly staff and absolutely reasonable priced booze! So rare to find nowadays… well done!

    I'm a big fan. (Even though there is no draught ale... In a Young's pub!) They have something on most evenings, the atmosphere is always mega, the staff are friendly, the outside area is massive with many TVs. Shout out to Mike and his Open Mic first Monday of every month. Great musicians playing non stop for hours.

    Always on top of our list when in Brixton. Very busy yet always amazing food and service! Thank you to Larissa and the team!

  • 3/5 Matt H. 7 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Garden is lovely and staff friendly but the service is awful. On a busy night it can easily take 40 minutes at the bar to receive your drink.

  • 1/5 Maya H. 6 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Came here for my birthday, was ridiculously crowded so you had to wait half an hour for a drink. We ordered a glass of read wine, but was served white, and was told that we had ordered the wrong wine, so started drinking it, the girl who brought the drink double check and it was actually a red we ordered. We had ordered correctly. Which was completely fine they accidentally poured the wrong drink. However when we went to let them know we was met by an extremely rude blonde woman. Who I’m guessing was the manager and she had a head set on. 0 customer service or manners she even said “can you not tell the different between red or white wine… it’s pretty clear”? Which clearly she couldn’t as she had sent the wrong one originally. She was rolling her eyes and just being extremely rude.

    Super good food and lovely staff. Had a great time watching the darts.

    Big terrace and little huts at the back, with heaters available. The service is SLOW, omg! It takes ages to serve pints and the staff (although very nice) is on Economy Mode. But again, they’re all friendly. Good atmosphere overall, and great place for a sport match.

  • 4/5 Hayley W. 1 year ago on Google
    Drinks are great and at a decent price. Garden area is lovely. Food is not great. Had a chicken burger and didn't finish it.

  • 5/5 Emma M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an amazing experience here. There was a gorgeous waiter called Kylie who catered to our every need & wish. If I go here again I'll make sure to ask for her by name!

  • 5/5 Sam H. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an amazing experience! I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Danielle. She handled my booking and honestly we had the best time. Big shout out to her! We will be booking again soon 😉

  • 5/5 Matt Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Pub!! Great staff, good atmosphere and beautiful beer garden everything you could ask for! Even got an extra hand bringing my drinks over from an outstanding member of staff (Lucas). Couldn’t fault anything! Would 100% be coming back

  • 5/5 Nike J. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect place for causal drinks with friends. Lots of sunshine and Lisa behind the bar is the best barmaid ever! Can’t wait to come back xx

  • 1/5 Tishta S. 1 year ago on Google
    We had to come out 10mins after getting in. Nobody at the bar was listening to us. Couldn't get any drinks. Saw more bouncers than servers at this place. It was recommended by a friend but we had the worst experience.

  • 4/5 Lewis 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant place for drinks outside, however, the garden closes at about 10 ish (I think, please feel free to correct) and after that it gets a little congested, as the inside area is only small. Decent selection of drinks, albeit on the slightly pricier end that some other pubs close by.

  • 5/5 Alex K. 1 year ago on Google
    Had my birthday party here in the upstairs room last weekend and the organization, management and bar staff were great. Very flexible and accommodating and keen to ensure we had a great night. Would recommend to anyone hosting a private event!

  • 4/5 Niloofar S. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place. I went there with a big groups of friends and my dog. There was water bowls for dogs and I grabbed one to ask a member of staff to maybe get some fresh water. Inside the bowl was full of some grits and hair, it happens of course until this point. What was a bit surprising for me that the staff I asked for fresh water didn’t even empty the bowl before filling it up with fresh water. They just poured more water on all those. Well I just walked down to ladies toilet washed the bowl myself and my dog ended up drinking fresh water but if you’re going to leave water bowls outside for our dogs maybe fill up with fresh water when requested. Other than that all good.

    Good burgers, even better chips. Good service. All in all a decent pub.

  • 4/5 Alex L. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect for watching the football, food menu an abomination however. You can do better. Also get some wheat beers on the menu!

  • 4/5 George B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very spacious outdoor seating at the back, fun open mic nights with a good selection of food and drink. My only gripe would be, I couldn't find a disabled toilet though, in the bars defence, I didn't ask. The stairs are shallow with a solid handrail to the very well maintained facilities in the basement.

  • 5/5 Audrey A. 2 years ago on Google
    Went for a birthday celebration so already happy to be there. Service excellent and warm atmosphere. Pods they have created in the garden were perfect. Be careful walking down the steps though.

  • 5/5 James S. 2 years ago on Google
    Really cool menu here. Burgers and big screens fit well in this massive garden. The trainee waiter Tallon was such a delight. Wish he was on the menu. Yum

  • 4/5 Mo C. 2 years ago on Google
    30 minute wait for a drink, what a joke. Hire more bar stuff. ** Updated, apart from that very busy night, otherwise the staff are lovely and the bouncers are very well mannered. Also the vibe of the place is very nice and there's always friendly and chatty people visiting (which is rare for London). Only feedback is please have more staff behind the bar to reduce waiting time but you already said you'd do that, so that's great.
