Used to be a great bar, especially on weekends. Been in a couple of times this year and it seems to have become another dull, carbon copy of a chain bar. Stayed for a quick drink with friends one afternoon and then moved on. Nothing bad to say, just lost some of its character.
I LOVE the chips at the newly refurbished Prince. Wonderful to see new life breathed into the venue. Also loved the burgers! I'll be popping over to Brixton a lot more now there is a destination that ticks all the boxes.
Had a delicious Sunday lunch here. As I don't like meat, they gave me loads of extra vegetables and delicious roast potatoes. The staff were friendly and I especially liked the Vivienne Westwood wallpaper on the columns
I went to the new improved prince for dinner a few weeks ago. The service was great, and the food was even better! I highly recommend the burger mmm. I will definitely be visiting again soon!
As a drifter who passes by the prince once in a while I was pleasantly surprised to find that they seemed to have turned a massive corner and are now producing some of the best food in the area. Ok they still do burgers (100 times better than the used too) but the other offerings are are simply superb. I had the chorizo in red wine as an appetizer served in them little spanish pots and was every bit as good as in Iberia. I then had the marinated onglet steak with a deep fried smoked paprika crusted soft egg (omg) and 1/2 peeled twice cooked chips, my partner had am wonderful open hot smoked salmon sourdough sandwich with lemon & sourcream mayonnaise, mesculn leaves and liliput capers.
for dessert a sundae of flourless almond sponge, vanilla ice cream, rose water and orange jelly & chocolate sauce......mmmmmmm
Good, simple, honest and tasty food!
Keep up the good work!

Whilst a lovely building, we service we got was really quite bad. We ate there Monday 06/12/2010 and the barman was exceptionally rude. When he brought our food, we asked him for some ketchup and some mayo. He held out his hands, and said "one, two. See? I only have two hands". Er. Okay. We weren't asking you to bring it with our food, and didn't realise you would automatically bring it afterwards. But thank you, I guess. Added to that, it took ages to get served, two burgers costing about £8 were put through the til at £24 and the person serving us didn't really seem to click and needed to be shown the menu and for us to explain why that was wrong, it took 50 minutes for our food to come and it was freeeeeeezing cold. Most people were wearing coats. Not normally someone to review, but that barman was rude to us and we didn't deserve it.
I love the new refurbishment and the vibe is a great improvement to what it was under the old establishment! The staff are very friendly and calm even when its chockablock! I did have a slight problem finding a table to eat when I got there but the manager was very help-full and he reserved a table promptly. Check The Prince out on Friday's to party and Sundays for a roast I wish they had the reggae nights back! Please. Miss d
Recently refurbished to a very high standard (although toilets could still use a little work) my wife and I ate here last week and were very impressed.
I had the French lamb while my wife tried the duck. Both were excellent and the service was friendly.
Only one real ale on draught though (GK IPA), so I opted for the Staropramen, good selection of wines and spirits and a nice atmosphere all round.
At last a proper gastro pub in the heart of Brixton.
Had a fantastic Sunday Lunch here over the bank holiday weekend, service was good, decent selection of wines and a lovely atmosphere. Staff were polite and courteous despite being busy while its location offers a real safe haven from all the chaos and bustle of brixton's high street.
A very good pub.
Nice decor shame about the food and the service. We ate here on 24-03-10 and the food was pretty poor, the service was nonchalant and the toilets - well the less said about them the better!
On complaining about the food the waiter said "I feel sorry" and turned away! The manager certainly couldn't have cared less that the food and service left much to be desired with hardly an apology... A real shame as the decor and menu (cost) promise so much but they just didn't deliver!
The Prince is a cool pub but its just closed for a comprehensive refurbishment!
Check it out when it reopens with an all new look, entertainment and music programme and menu!
this venue is run by a guy who thinks he knows a thing or two about hospitality - my ar*e !the reason its a failing venue is that he is NEVER there so has no idea what is going on.
Its quite obvious what he is doing when he's away as he sooo grumpy when he does make an appearance !the pub itself is nice but very tatty ;
the staff are nice when they have been paid their wages ; the music is ok but poorly programmedthe food - forget it !dex club upstairs is great so is the terrace. The End
A great venue, with excellent food. However, the clientele leaves alot to be desired. It's quite trashy.
This is a great pub for a friday night, it stays open late and always has good music playing especially when they have a DJ. Big enough to get a good atmosphere but not too big that you get lost within the crowd! also normally cheap or free entry!
I would not reccomend this place to anyone.
I have been there few times long time ago however after last night's visit (after the movie at the Ritzy) i will never go there again!
We were shouted at by an angry barman and security guy to literally 'get out of this place' becasue they were closing it. They were both rude and aggressive.
It wasn't a closing time yet and we quite enjoyed our drink in the crude beer garden. The barman not only shouted at everyone but was also swearing and told everyone to 'get their s**t together'.
I thought it would be a decent place, but i am a customer and not someone who did something wrong.
I do not reccomend it to anyone. Stressful and very rude service.
Went to the Prince for our farewell party last night. The night was ruined when someone snatched our camera right off the table we were sitting at. Yelled at the bouncer to stop him which he did for a second but then proceeded to let him out the door. No explanation about why they didn't stop him and no apologies from the management. very disappointing and no pics from our last night in London
We were at the prince for puddings with friends on Sunday. Our very simple order took 45 minutes to arrive with no explanation from the waitress and when our drinks arrived ten minutes later my tea had been covered by an improperly washed saucer used the previous night to hold a candle. The wax melted into my tea and the staff treated it like a joke. I received no apology and they only grudgingly discounted the bill at all despite the poor service and waxy tea. Totally not cool. I was very very disappointed
The Prince is my new local and fave pub in Brixton by a long way. The Prince looks great - I love all those chandeliers, and everyone is always so friendly. The drinks are great and I have had the best meals in Brixton here.
The bargain deal is the £5.00 daily special and the burger is amazing too. The music they play is always spot on and some of the DJ nights like Skylarkin are just great, fun right here on my doorstep. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
They do some lovely food in the Prince, I've only had a couple of starters as an appetiser to wash down my bottle of wine but everything I had was lovely. I'll be back to The Prince to try the rest of their delectable sounding menu soon!
We come to The Prince of Wales on a Sunday night, its a good night to go, usually quite busy and you might have to stand but the atmosphere is good. There's plenty of girls in skimpy clothing to keep you entertained as well - most of them are students. The Prince of Wales is a pretty trendy place.
