The Beehive (JD Wetherspoon), Brixton, SW9

Typical Spoons with a pretty poor ale choice consisting of Abbott, Ruddles, Sambrooks Pumphouse Pale and one other I've now long since forgotten. I very much doubt I'll be calling in here again unless the bladder tells me different.

This is much like just about every other ‘spoons I’ve been in. There are tall tables/tall stools in the front part of the room, some booths on the left, and normal tables and chairs in serried ranks at the back. As usual there are old black and white photos of the local area, including that of the long gone and lamented Bon Marche department store. A typically varied ale range is available, as well as the regular pub grub menu of course. Although it’s not big by ‘spoons standards, the narrow frontage conceals a pub that has been extensively opened up to the rear. It’s certainly bigger than it looks from the street. The client base when I visited on Wednesday was much the same as experienced by previous reviewers – it’s very much a locals’ pub. This one does its job admirably, in providing cheap food and drink for the people of Brixton.
