The Effra Hall Tavern

"Came for the Sunday Jazz night. Was thoroughly enjoying the music and noticed this elderly lady sitting in the corner, sipping a pint, head weaving to the music. Thought to myself ‘oh how cute.’ 5 minutes later she stood up, busted out a trumpet from god knows where and led the band through a frenetic solo that electrified the room (see video). So is Effra Hall a unique place to see some jazz? Yeah I’d say so."

"We came to watch the Portugal / Morocco world cup game. There was one guy manning the bar as the pub got progressively busier with minimal standing room let alone free tables. Every single one of us came back from ordering drinks commenting on the guy running the bar on his own, stunned at how good he was taking multiple orders, completely unphased by the increasing business around him. It was genuinely impressive and I can't praise how good he was enough! V strong selection of beers on tap, big screen for football, and a small outdoor area."

"Great service. Lovely Guinness. Fantastic outside area. A lovely little oasis (a lower hipster count) in Brixton. Still loving this place."

"My first time visiting this bar with a friend who frequents on occasion. I really had an amazing time. The bar staff are more than friendly but nice guys /girls and competent to match. I was blown away by the band who preformed at 110% making the place electric. Some of the locals didn't seem to appreciate just how lucky they are to have such an amazing bar. I spent time inside as well as outside in the garden that had a real good vibe. The customers were all friendly and spent a lot of my time migling with a few groups during the evening. I'll l definetly be going back Wednesday for more of the same. There's music Wed, Thurs and Sat coming up so gonna make my week of entertainment I think. It's been a long time since Brixton was on my night out agenda but its certainly going to be again. Thanks guys for an amazing evening."
