read our review Brixton Bar and Grill(International)The Brixton Bar and Grill on Atlantic Road is a funky, independent bar offering classic cocktails, an impressive wine list and many beers.
DogstarThe three floors of Dogstar in Brixton are usually heaving on weekend nights but if you just fancy a pint, maybe sample something from their popular Mexican menu, this is well worth a visit. Just go along a tad earlier than the dancefloor junkies.
The Effra(Pub Food)The Effra is a traditional pub with a healthy afro-Caribbean feel in terms of patronage and pub fare.
Fridge BarThe Fridge is no longer a delapidated 1930s Brixton eyesore - it is now an exciting and intelligent club and bar with many new state-of-the-art features and a variety of brilliant DJs for the different club nights on offer.
HiveHive offers gastranomic pleasures and a mighty fine cocktail list at reasonable prices, served in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the heart of Brixton.

After catching a gig at the Brixton Academy, the most popular choice for Brixtonites is to saunter into Plan B for a cocktail and a few late night moves on the dancefloor.
The Prince(Gastro Pub Food)A firm favourite with the locals, this warm and inviting pub is an assured option on Brixton Road. For those of you seeking something a little more exclusive, there's the Dex Member's Club incorporated into the venue.
Satay BarNot the most glamourous option but there's something quite attractive and vibrant about this venue, plus their cocktail menu is superb.
