What an extremely pleasant surprise this was! I live locally but don't tend to go out too much in Brixton as it's not quite my crowd but on a randon Friday last week we rocked up for a friends brithday and were greeted with an utterly cool, urban and funky crowd...not what we were expecting at all but what a great mix of people. There was an amazing live band playing funked up swing and cool tunes being played outside on the roof terrace...all in all a brilliant evening and definitely warrants more of my attention....a very cool place to go from what I've seen so far and not a chav or 'bling' type in sight...super job.

To the idot that just commented below - stay away from Brixton we don't want people like you coming down and sticking your nose up!!! Brixton isn't made for ignorant and stupid idots like you - and we don't want you coming down! stay in North London where you belong! - may i also add, that youll find that camden is a lot more rougher. Dex is a brilliant atmosphere, great people, brilliant door staff, and general happy and welcoming attitude. You have to get it on the right night, make sure you know what musics down there before hand, but generally its a wicked place, just like the Prince - The Prince is my local and I love it - great staff, friendly and happy people, with good music.. its mostly a winner every time ~~~~Rocketgirlzoo xx

ummm...this is hardly an upscale place. brixton is a dump, everyone knows that, and the shabby chic thing only really works well in shoreditch. the area is dangerous and even walking form the tube station i felt uncomfortable.

stylish? oh please! this is nothing more than a pub function room above the kentuckey fried chicken in brixton.

Dex is one of the hippest spots Iv'e been to since being in London! Style all the way, in decour, crowd, and service. And you can't argue with a bar that's open 24 hours a day.

I was starting to worry that Brixton might be going a tad stale but a visit to Dex has put my mind at rest - a trendy establishment with terrific decor, sophisticated tunes and affordable drinks menu.
