Brixton Bar and Grill reviews
Definitely the coolest bar in Brixton, it's like an oasis off the madness of Atlantic Road. Great staff, a fantastic wine and cocktail list, and the unisex toilets really top off the laid back and fun vibe of this place.
by Localpete, 05 Jan 2008BBAG is a very cool place to hang out if you’re cool enough to handle the laid back pace and 'make the place your own' approach of the management and staff. The staff have a respectfully stand-off ‘Mi casa es su casa’ vibe about them, which is just perfect after a hard day at work as the last thing you need is someone else’s staff hounding you. I've always felt relaxed and at home down there. The tapas is a perfect way to chill and have a few nibbles, either while waiting for the generous main courses with friends or just something to get your teeth into while waiting for friends to arrive.
I never visited the BBAG before the new management took over in 2006. This should be noted and makes all previous reviews prior to this date null and void. The food is alchemy of local produce from local suppliers. The selection of continental lagers whispers of a quiet refinement of choice, and the cocktails are made in a truly slow and deliberate manner by caring professional cocktail makers and shakers. The music selection in the front comes courtesy of the music professional DJ/proprietor and in the back, more private area, DJs are provided by a mixture of private party goers and the proprietor's DJ friends. Who could ask for more from the infamously creative music scene of Brixton?
Great bar, friendly service, cool tunes and yummy food. Just what Brixton needs - no trouble, no attitudes, just good times. Can get busy at the bar, but it's all done with a smile.
by MajorMuck, 19 Apr 2007I love it here, the food is great and I never have any problems with the service. (Perhaps Mr Disgruntled treated the bar staff with a patronising tone - nobody likes that!) I can totally recommend the cocktails, which are delicious, and the brilliant steak - so good and tender you honestly don't need a steak knife to cut it. I'll be back again and again.
by Lady Jane (2 reviews), 12 Apr 2007If your idea of a good night out is standing at a bar for 20 mins at a time without getting served, then look no further. Worst bar service in London. Avoid.
by Disgruntled Patron, 31 Mar 2007Loved the food, the staff and the venue, and I haven't even been there when a DJ's played any music, so I can only imagine this place even gets better with music!
by Anonymous, 17 Mar 2006Great staff, table service, good wine list and above average cocktails... what else do you need?
by nige, 08 Nov 2005Lovely staff, cool cocktails, trendy but suitably toned down for south London.
by Anonymous, 08 Nov 2005Moved back to Brixton 6 months ago and thank god for Brixton Bar and Grill, my new local! So glad there is at least one place that I can go with no attitude. You gotta love it.
by MParker, 27 Oct 2005The cocktails are amazing and the food delicious. Staff very helpful and friendly. Have been back many times now.
by Thea, 30 Jun 2005Fantastic menu with wide choice, great food and helpful, friendly staff. What's not to like? So maybe I was tipsy on arrival - but I'll still enjoy next time!
by Alyson, 02 Nov 2004Great vibe, friendly staff, cool but unpretentious, bars in a similar vein should take note.
