The Brixton

Great neighborhood joint. Happy hour 7 days a week! This gastro pub is a great place to meet up with friends, hang at the bar or grab a bite to eat before catching a live performance at McCabe's Guitar Shop down the block. Our server/bartender Joe was great. Very friendly and made a very good margarita. We ordered: A Cobb salad 4/5 Burger & Fries 5/5Fish & Chips 5/5Mac n cheese 5/5 *Metered Street parking

Came on a Wednesday before Christmas week and the place was decently full. It was also well into happy hour. There was a sign at the door telling customers to wait to be seated. Felt kind of strange since it very much has a bar vibe and also there was no bartender or server in sight. Waited about 3-4 min before the bartender came to seat us. He was very friendly. We quickly realized it was just 1 bartender making drinks, taking all of the table's food orders, and checking in on the guests. A tall order for 1 guy. He was killing it though but WOW. You would think they'd have at least 1 other person on the floor. Veggie Burger - The veggie patty was an Impossible burger. They LOADED it with mushrooms. So many mushrooms! Maybe too many mushrooms. The tots were super crispy and seasoned. My boyfriend got a double cheese burger and he said the patties were almost inedible. They tasted frozen and like they crushed them to suck out all the juices. He tried taking it apart and eating around the bad sections but his plate just looked like a mess. His fries were really good though. Not sure if we'll be coming back. Maybe the kitchen just had an off night. The front of house was OBVIOUSLY understaffed. The bartender/waiter was their saving grace. He was so friendly and made sure to take care of us the best he could with being the only person manning the establishment. Give that man a raise!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was very empty which is shocking! We came in for a couple beers and a small bite but seems like brunch is the way to go. We got the seasonal fruit (which wasn't great) and the sweet potatoes which were great!

Perfect Reuben sandwich. Lean corned beef, sauerkraut and Swiss on thick marble rye -- with tater tots! 1,000 Island dressing is on the spicy side but still ok for those of us who don't like it hot.Fish and chips were also excellent.Pub-like vibe. Four TVs.Free parking lot in back. I'll definitely go back!

The restaurant is located in Santa Monica. The food came out hot. The fries were crunchy.

I wanted to try out this place cause the Poutine looked bomb. But to be honest, I felt like the food was pretty underwhelming.Location is easy to spot as it is in the corner of a street. The ambiance is pretty okay, I can see it being lively during the night time as it is moreso bar vibes than a restaurant. I ordered the Short Rib Poutine and the Chicken Flatbread. The Short Rib poutine was very heavy meat and pretty much drowned out the rice, BUT it was super tasty. I feel like the egg didn't really add too much to the poutine and just made it more messy. The Chicken Flatbread was really strange with the Kale and Pesto (not what I expected and I LOVE crispy kale and pesto). My friend and I didn't even finish the Flatbread after 1-2 pieces. Service was great though - our waitress was super attentive! Overall, pretty basic bar food. If you go here, go for drinks! :)

Food: We got poutine, chicken and biscuits and burrito. - poutine: solid had good fries and gravy w cheese. The short rib was tender but not the best ive had- Burrito: not that great and salsa was not flavorful (too watery)- Chicken & biscuits: DO NOT GET THIS it was like 1% chicken and all breading. Was also very dry and bard to eat. Sorry my photo is half eaten bc I forgotService: Staff was very nice and friendly :)

So, everyone needs to come to the Brixton (at least for brunch). Firstly, the Brixton accommodated an eleven person reservation, and seated us all together - not an easy task for a restaurant. The service was absolutely incredible - friendly, jovial, and simultaneously helpful - not only with service but also with recommendations for what to order.We must have gotten there early, as the restaurant had not yet filled up, but the modern, simple ambiance was the perfect backdrop for brunch.We came to brunch to feast, and feast we did. As a vegetarian, I am more than used to needing to order from a very limited selection of options yet the Brixton had so many choices I had to ask for thoughts. My friend and I split two entrees and I got to try the breakfast burrito and the shakshouka. I have not had shakshouka in a long time, but I was absolutely floored. Everyone in our group was full, but I made them all try the shakshouka because it is such a unique dish and difficult to get right - and everyone loved it.I got to try a few appetizers and everything was delicious. And the drinks - so good! Then despite how full we were, the staff insisted on bringing us a couple desserts. We were so glad they did. Absolutely delicious.Everyone should visit the Brixton and enjoy this incredible brunch.

Doesn't look much from the outside but inside is a treasure. I loved the ambiance and daily happy hour specials. We ordered the burger and the steak sandwich with fries and the Mac n cheese. OMG the Mac n cheese was soooo good!! The burger was solid and the steak sandwich was ok, not bad but id opt for the burger instead. Prices were decent and the service was great.

This place has an amazing happy hour even on the weekends. Came here with some friends on a Saturday afternoon around 3p and we were seated immediately. It's so refreshing to find a place on the west side that's not closed from 3-5p. I also appreciated the seasonal decor. It added a fun vibe. We shared the Mac n cheese, the mussels and shrimp, the Caesar salad with salmon, and the dip duo. I also had their house margarita. The Mac n cheese and the Caesar were my favorite. Between the four of us the bill was only $35 because the happy hour is that good. We left around 6:30 and it was getting pretty lively. Highly recommend and I can't wait to come back!
