Crown & Anchor in Brixton

Nice pub, been before. There was an idiot with his dog and throwing the ball for them to catch inside the pub. Staff shouldn't be allowing such behaviour. This is a common issue with people bringing dogs into pubs these days. Not good

🚇 Stockwell 🍺 £6.50 Rothaus Pilsner The Crown & Anchor is located at the northern end of Brixton in South London. The nearest Tube is Stockwell. This Victorian pub was built in 1867 and occupies a corner plot that leads through to a park at the back of the pub. This pub has been open in its current guise since 2012 and is the sister pub of the Jolly Butchers in Stoke Newington. This is a long one bar pub that has a contemporary feel. The servery is located on the left and has a traditional counter. This is a bright and airy pub due to size of the windows which bathe the bar in light. The decor consists of a boarded floor, conventional furniture, exposed brickwork and light painted walls. To the side of the pub are a number of benches for imbibing alfresco. The beer line up offers a fantastic selection of premium lagers, local London brews and five cask ales. I decided on a Rothaus Pilsner, my pint hit the spot, price point was to be expected. The food menu changes from time to time, at present there are American comfort food options plus hearty roasts on a Sunday. I arrived just after 3pm on a warm and sunny Saturday afternoon in August. There were about a dozen or so punters inside and a few lapping up the sun on the benches outside. The atmosphere was chilled and relaxed, so settling in was easy. The service was excellent, the team on duty were welcoming and friendly. This laidback Brixton local is an enjoyable place to spend time in. The highlight for me was the range of beers on offer, the variety will please most palates and tempts you into trying something different. The surroundings were comfortable and the ambiance convivial. The @crown_anchorsw9 is well worth a look if you’re in the area. 📅 3rd August 2024 More London Pub info @londonpubmap 🍻

The Crown & Anchor 246 Brixton Road London SW9 6FA London Village Inns Ltd https://londonvillageinns.co.uk/ Big space indoors nicely laid out, next to park entrance, with ample outside accommodation. Great buzz at 6pm when we arrived, a busy engagement party and lots of people enjoying themselves, the way people should at a well run public house. Decent beer selection, too busy engage in conversation about the future of pubs and the @AllForTheLoveOfPubs podcast to take notice of the drinks menu. Kitchen looks well laid out, interestingly placed at the back of the pub with clear through route from the pass to the floor. Confidently done pub, staff all friendly, smiley and on the ball, and well informed about the business. Most of the cask beers had run out, because it had been so busy. Encouraging to see a pub business thriving and bucking the trend of spiral of decline to terminal oblivion of Britain's unique secular social construct that's engulfed the nation... We need to restore this Crooked House and start #SavingBritainsPubs at scale. This is what The Podcast from The Pub #AllForTheLoveOfPubs is going to be about

Popped in here for a Sunday roast after walking the entire Victoria tube line with friends. It sure was well worth it. Easy to spot and get to. Great service and the food was spot on. Ordered a G&T alongside it - perfect.

Wonderful Sunday roast, really packed plate - you won't be hungry afterwards! The lamb was lovely but the chicken was the star. The service was first class, really warm and friendly and excellent range of beers. Make sure you book ahead, it's very popular
