Bar Marino in Brixton

Oh, Bar Marino is one of those hidden gems in Brixton that I've come to love for its top-tier cocktails; they're not just your average drinks, but really creative and delicious ones that hit the spot every time. The staff are an absolute delight, always so friendly and attentive, which really elevates the whole experience and makes you feel like you're catching up with mates rather than just grabbing a drink. The atmosphere strikes a lovely balance – chilled enough for a casual chat but with that vibrant energy that keeps things lively, especially if you're popping in before a gig or for a bite during brunch. On the flip side, it's a shame about the opening times; they're not open every day, so you might find yourself disappointed if you fancy a visit on a quiet Sunday. And honestly, their website's a bit of a letdown with some errors, which could make planning ahead a tad frustrating. All in all, it's a solid spot for us pub goers looking for quality over quantity, but it's worth checking those hours first to avoid any hassle.
