Stumbled accross Sorry no vacancies on a Friday night. What a surprise! The atmosphere was great…read more Absolutely loved the interior and the music line up looked good. But the best bit were the cocktails. We tried some old favourites and some we hadn't ever tried before, like the flashback. Never thought that a shot of tequila, brown sauce and a cocktail sausage would ever be put in this sort if combination, but scarily it works. It was just the place to get us ready for the night ahead. We would have loved to stay longer but had to get to another gig. Luckily it was only round the corner from the O2 so we had plenty of time to grab an El Bandito Hot Dawg and a few shots to send us on our way. Definitely going back when we can stay a bit longer.

As Craig M mentioned, squirrelled away off Brixton Hill is this gig venue that shows great music most nights of the week. They have a BBQ area outside and even though I didn't get to try it on that night, I bet their beer garden is ace in summer. Check out their website to see what's on and you'll enjoy a mix of arty students and music fans who pilgrim here to listen to great bands at an intimate location.A winner in south London.

Each one has been a memorable occassion. The summer weekend barbeques are a fantastic way of whiling away sunny days whilst listening to interesting artists. It's not the most attractive venue you've seen, and the pillar near the stage does obscure the view for people quite near the front, but these little things are part of the charm. The bar prices are fairly reasonable, and the odd combination of locals watching the football in one corner and some rising indie superstars playing in another is an enjoyable one.

The Food: I ordered the [Dish Name, e.g., Grilled Sea Bass]. It was cooked to perfection--moist on the inside with a crisp skin. The flavors were balanced, though the portion size was a bit smaller than expected for the price. The Service: The staff was attentive without being intrusive. You can tell they take pride in their work, which gives the place an authentic feel rather than a corporate, "robotic" vibe.

I'm a soft touch for funky band art and album covers on the wall - and I like the stacks of records behind the bar; it's a unique look. They've got an impressive looking cocktail list, but I didnt get to try any - I was more interested in the bottled beers - I was very happy to find Punk IPA here! I shall no longer ignore Venn St Records, it was fun in here.

However, ignoring that, it was the nature of the pub that was awesome because, as the name suggests, it is a hole in the wall, located under the railway lines heading to Charing Cross, and just across from Waterloo Station. Honestly, it's much better than the railway station pubs.

It's on my way to work so one day on the way home I thought I'd pop in and cheack it out, big mistake. It's a local pub in the very strictest sense, from the moment of my entry I was made to feel painfully aware of my status as a stranger. It's the sort of place where everyone knows everyone and that doesn't include you. On top of that the interior is drab and depressing, they do have darts and Sky TV but I couldn't imagine a more sombre atmosphere to enjoy either activity. The drinks are pretty piss poor as well but as I already mentioned they are pretty cheap. It's quite a difficult place to find if you don't know it already and I implore each of you not to go looking for it.
