Clover's, Brixton, SW9

This has been rebranded recently as Clover’s but much of what is said in previous reviews holds true still. It is indeed a (relatively small) L shaped bar with large windows at the front onto Atlantic Rd (and so immediately a reminder it is light outside whereas the interior of previous venue tonight was messing with my senses). The pine wood fronted bar is on the right side of the venue as you walk in. The walls a painted what I’m sure win a vote on the most bland colour of the colour spectrum, with the blandness punctuated with a few large pieces of what could only be described as “modern art” - what does “I painted your bath tub today mean” - does anyone still have bath tub’s? On the draught beer front just the two taps offering Brixton Reliance Pale Ale and Coldharbour lager. Was a good excuse to reduce volume and increase alcohol punch with a glass of the Valpolicella! Not withstanding this isn’t a pub and an overt bar, it was actually a very pleasant and very vibrant venue. Definitely top marks for the best ambiance of tonight’s crawl of SW9 venues remaining.

Modern bar, perhaps run by the Brixton Brewery because all the draft beers were theirs, although not branded as such? Anyway, the furniture is relatively sparse and the decoration plain, so it's less inviting inside than initial appearances might suggest. With only two of the four keg taps in use, the beer selection was very disappointing, with the overpriced Coldharbour Lager (£6.00) chosen over the stronger (but no doubt more expensive) Electric IPA.
