A neighborhood pub with loyal regulars — but the food left us unconvinced. The vibe is clearly working for some, and there’s a laid-back charm that longtime patrons seem to love.
That said, the food was firmly average, and the price point didn’t help its case. It’s the kind of place that might hit right if it’s your usual haunt, but for a first-time visit, it missed the mark for me and my crew.
Had an early supper at the pub, the location is great and the food was good too. The waitress was pleasant, I had a request to sit next to the wall so I can charge my phone and she helped me find such a spot. The burger was good, and the portion was huge. Recommend for a casual dining experience.

This spot would be great for an after work drink, the vibes are typical pub. We shared a large nachos with chicken, which had dry chunks of unseasoned meat, not nearly enough cheese or salsa.
Most of the food looked mid, I had a decent spicy cedar though so that was a saving grace.
Awesome service!

Terrible. Can’t say much other than the wings tasted like fish? Not sure if they are in the same fryer or what but they were bruuuutal and I’m not a picky wing guy. My wife got some cheese curds and they were rock solid lol.

The food is so yummy and the environment is amazing. The owners are so wonderful too. Highly recommend.
Brixton’s is a great little spot to grab a bite and a drink on Sparks Street! The patio is definitely the star of the show, with its vibrant atmosphere and a mix of interesting people passing by, all set against the charming architecture of the area. It’s a super laid-back place that's perfect for hanging out and chatting with friends.
We tried the chicken tacos and crispy fries, and while the food is pretty standard, it definitely hits the spot! Their house beer is quite enjoyable too. Just a heads-up, though: the service was a bit slow, as we waited about an hour for our meal. But overall, it’s a nice place to relax and enjoy the vibe!

I've been to this place twice in the last 2 years. Same bartender both times. The place is nice, the food is decent, and there's a good beer selection. But the bartender just seems like she's lost all will to live. Just not engaged in the process at all. She strikes me as someone who got a Masters Degree in some useless topic and is now just regretting life choices. I hope she finds happiness....

The fries were great, nice and crispy but fish was a disaster...they need to change the oil in their fryer more often and turn down the heat as batter was crispy but some of the batter was not cooked, very brown and oily batter. Very disappointing for a British

Not a British pub. There’s no football. No sound. It’s a watering-hole for the political crowd. They can’t pour a beer to save their lives. If you like beer, don’t come here. Thank god I haven’t tried their food. Seats are the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever sat on. Service is good.

Ate here on Saturday night and it was pretty quiet. Food was good despite some other reviews not being very complimentary. Good selection of beers

Come for the scene, maybe skip the meal.
