“Well what can i say about this bar, it looks welcoming from the outside, but the staff (and prices) have put me off going back, i had to wait 5 mins whilst the person behind the bar finished his private conversation, then didn't even appologise for keeping me waiting! Take a tip from me, employ someone who enjoys bar work and talking to your customers!”

“SW9 is one of the most friendly bars in Brixton, once you get in there, you really feel at home and want to come back, especialy at night time.”

“Not a bad place when compared to the other 'competition' in and around Brixton.”

“Had 2 course meal there last night and was disgusted by the service. We ordered mussels for starter which came out barely cooked. The shells were still closed! The staff were so rude making out that we could still eat them - like how?! So they take them back and (microwaved??) cooked them for so long they come out stringy with no flesh. Disgusting. The other table had the same experience and when I asked for our money back for the starter they made out that no one had complained about them all night. So after I pointed out that the other table did they unwillingly gave us some money back. But this was serious effort and they were really rude. I would never go back there unfortunately.”

“This place is a perfect if pricey place to chill out if you want a quierter friday night. With occasional live jazz this rates highly for me.”

“We had the misfortune to have lunch at Brixton's SW9 bar/cafe at the weekend. Apologies for my overusage of the word 'rubbish' in the pars to follow, but there simply is no better description for this utterly rubbish venue. RUBBISH! The waitress, who after taking 20 minutes to get round to serving us, promptly came up five minutes later and asked if we would be eating this afternoon. Yes, you fool, when you bring us the food order you just took from us. Then forgot to bring us our drinks. Then took the drinks to the wrong table. RUBBISH! The food, which took years to arrive and, when it did, was tasteless and bland (I know that's a tautology but it really was that bad). The pitta bread was akin to cardboard, the butter on the garlic bread rancid, the leek and gruyere tart came in what appeared to be a store-bought, ready-made tart case... I could go on, but I just don't want to remember any more. RUBBISH! The decor, which is like a blind Changing Rooms team has been let loose on the place. At least back in the day they had the rude Keith Haring-alike painting to distract you from the shite purple walls and mirror tiles. RUBBISH! Playing Rachel Stevens' LA Ex twice. TWICE! So yes, SW9, rubbish to the core. If someone opened a decent cafe in Brixton, a la the much-lamented Goya on Acre Lane (come back Dennis!), they would make a killing. ”

“Excellent, if fairly pricy food. Good selection of more interesting draught lagers too - i.e Kirin. Mixed crowd but nearly always very friendly.”

“Rude guy behind the bar who couldn't be bothered to pull his finger out when they forgot to tell the kitchen about our food, and told us so 45 minutes later. Left with a bitter taste in our mouth so can't recommend the place.”
