Stirred, SW11

Jacksons has opened within the last year in the premises previously occupied by Artisan and Vine Bar. The interior is made up by a U shaped bar area at the front with some seating behind. Beyond this are some steps down to more seating and the toilets. The draught available is limited to Budvar, Peroni and London Fields Brewery’s Wheat Beer. This isn’t the biggest place but it was almost empty at 20:00 on Friday evening so I had no problem finding some space. There was a guitarist playing and I hoped that there would be more of a crowd in as time progressed as he was playing to himself. I didn’t spot any televisions or gaming machines. Three clocks on the wall have the times for London, Sydney and Belfast… I’m not sure of the connection. There are a couple of tables behind some rope on the path out front. This isn’t my choice type of venue so I do not plan to return anytime soon.
