“ 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. ”
“ This place is really good. Independent retailer with unique wines, cocktails and food! Sharing plates. We doubled dated. Really cool atmosphere and restaurant. We met the owner Alfie, said he’s Spanish but he sounds like a cockney!! ”
“ Booked the whole venue for a private function! celebrated my birthday here and was a great venue for my intimate celebrations. Had around 45-50 people for cocktails and drinks. There’s two rooms, the bar up front where everyone walks in, then the back room where we spent most of the night with the DJ. Claudia was great in answering any questions I had beforehand, helped us book the DJ, as well as agreeing to add shots to the menu. The cocktails/ drinks were delicious and you could tell the team put a lot of effort in. Alfie and the team were great on the night and had quick service throughout! Really happy with the whole thing and would recommend for a private event. ”
“ I hired out the whole place for my 30th birthday. Alfie, the owner, was incredibly accommodating with all my asks/needs and without a doubt went above and beyond to provide an amazing night! The food and cocktails were incredible and expertly made, with nothing to fault whatsoever (he even allowed renames of a handful of the drinks to add that extra touch). All the staff on the night worked so hard to make sure it went smoothly, and I couldn’t think of anywhere more ideal to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. Myself and all the guests (approx. 50) had an immensely fun night, with many being complimentary of the service, cocktails, food, and awesome atmosphere (zero complaints heard!). I couldn’t recommend this place more if I tried - it’s an absolute must for any occasion!! ”
“ Hired the whole venue out of my husband's 50th Birthday. Alfie and his team, Tammy and Prosper were amazing. Communication was easy...from designing a menu to making the day go smoothly. Oxtail nuggets and beef brisket sliders were outstanding. I couldn't have asked for a better venue. Thanks Alfie xx ”
“ Super cute cocktail bar on Coldharbour Lane in Brixton. Cosy atmosphere, great service and great cocktails. ”
“ A real gem! We were looking for something interesting and a bit different and this ticked the boxes. Intimate, friendly and everything was delicious. The standout for me was the Oxtail Nuggets - perfectly spiced. However everything was great quality and we had most of the dishes on the menu... ”
“ Absolutely delicious cocktails. The spicy margarita was perfection. Friendly and fun service. I can't comment on the food as we didn't have any. I will definitely be back! ”
