Back at The Brixton this weekend for brunch. Food is still ridiculously delicious. I decided to try the Brixton Cubano sandwich...very very good. Brussels sprouts were phenomenal. They also have brown sugar chicken wings!!! Short rib poutine never misses. Deviled eggs...just try everything. Lol You won't regret it. Staff is always amazing. Lance is still the best and so is Pedro! I love it here. It's technically a "bar" layout, but it just never feels like it. Had a great time today. read more

A quick stop before going to McCabes. You cannot beat the everyday 3:30 - 7:30 pm happy hour. Food and cocktails! We split the Reuben sandwich with tater tots (not on happy hour), but more than enough food for the two of us. Pedro was super friendly and mixed up a couple of tasty cocktails. read more

People from my office come here every so often for the happy hour. They're very accommodating for large groups. The happy hour food selections are not the best happy hour prices but for the most part all very good. The bread that accompanies some dishes is probably the star. The flatbreads are not bad but could use a little longer of a bake as they're a bit soft on the bottom and my personal preference is a crispy crust. I also like that they offer both fries and tots. Not on the happy hour menu but I crave fried potatoes when drinking. They have a few cocktails that are decent and a nice line up of draft beer. I definitely come here more for the food than the drinks though. They also have a parking lot in the back. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get a spot but it does fill up. read more

Looking for a cute brunch spot, we stumbled upon the Brixton.having been there before a long time ago. I was skeptical because it used to be like dark and CD kind of dive bar, but they've put these windows in and the light comes in and the place was pretty busy that's always a good sign and the bartender was amazing. His name is Lance. Lance has been there for a long time. Turns out we have family in another state very close to each other. Some kind of bonded over that and just life in general excellent Bartender my bloody Maria is fantastic and he was very attentive. We ordered a Greek omelette and it was delicious. Seriously it was really good. Had a blast will be back and hope that Lance is taking care of the Bar the next time I return. read more

Good happy hour that goes until 7:30 with both food and drinks! Service was fast and friendly, and they have a parking lot in back. The mac and cheese was delicious! read more

Wassup y'all! I'm back with another review. I found this spot years ago and honestly--it never disappoints. The food, the service, the vibes? Always on point. Super chill, super accommodating, just an all-around good time. On this visit, the homegirl and I stopped by post-workout because we were starving starving. I went with the good ol' açaí bowl, and she went all in--hash browns, eggs, waffle, chicken, and I think bacon (a full breakfast tour, honestly). I did forget to ask for light bananas and to add peanut butter to my bowl--but listen... it was still jumpin' like Jordan. No complaints. If you're in the area and craving a delicious, satisfying meal, definitely stop by. P.S. Bottomless mimosas are on the menu and the parking situation is actually decent--love that for us. read more

Fun spot for a bottomless mimosa brunch. Theres a small parking lot in the back and street parking. Tables were easy to get on the weekend even without a ressie. The bottomless mimosas came with a huge carafe of champagne and 4 different flavors of juice. It was fun to try all the flavors and mix them. Service was awesome! The people working on 10/19 were super nice and attentive. read more

The menu is big and there were plenty of seats available for brunch. But I think the large menu also was an indicator for quantity where the quality did not match it. It might be a better idea to shrink the menu and focus on a few things and do them well. I don't think anyone in my party particularly enjoyed the food. Service decent but some people felt the service was not up to par. This place might be a better spot to just go to drink but I would skip if you're looking for a decent meal read more

Overpriced and basic. It was happy hour, I ordered a special cocktail off their happy hour menu, it was in a glass that was small, it was delicious, but I couldn't get over the tiny glass, am I a giant? I then ordered a side of fries. Friends, the total was $28, I cannot, in good conscious support this business, I am not rich. read more

A hidden gem. This pub offers a ton of different variety of food! And bottomless mimosas. They will give you an entire carafe of champagne and you get these little juices like guava or mango or orange. I recommend the mango! I got the gluten free burger and it was very delicious. And that bun held on!! It didnt break apart on me and was nicely toasted as well. The staff was able to accommodate a huge group of 10+, and they didnt make any mistakes. The bartender was able to take photos of us from different angles as well! Loved this place, they were really nice and welcoming. read more

Just left The Brixton and I'll start by saying the food was really good. If it were just that, I'd give it 4 stars. But my otherwise good experience was tainted by the manager at the end of our meal. I'm going to give a timeline to highlight my frustration. My wife and I picked up my son from class at 5:35. I had a taste for fish and chips, so we took a few minutes to look at Yelp and decided on The Brixton. We arrived at 5:45 and were seated promptly. We ordered the short rib flat bread to share and it was out by 6pm. My wife and I then ordered the fish and chips, and our son got the short rib melt. By 6:15 we had our food and began to eat. Everything was pretty fulfilling, and so at 6:35 we were finishing up and asked for to-go boxes and the check. It comes and the timestamp on the check is 6:41pm. I pay, sign the check, and spend a couple of minutes getting my things together and talking with the family. This is where they rubbed me the wrong way. At 6:46, the manager comes over and says "hey, I'm sorry but we need this table. We have a reservation," smiled and walked away. I looked around at all the empty tables in the restaurant like WTH!?? So 5 minutes after I pay and only 1 hour and 1 minute from the time we stepped foot into the restaurant, we're asked to leave to make way for a reservation. Why allow us to sit there in the first place if that's the case?? You should have held it if the person who was going to eat there had less than an hour to order, eat, and leave. Had we not eaten so quickly or gotten full and packed up, we'd still be sitting there eating. There were multiple tables who were seated before we arrived who were still eating, drinking, and talking when we left. While this is a cool gastro pub with a chill vibe and pretty good food, we were driving home and all agreed that it put a damper on the meal and we don't need to return. read more

In their defense, we went for dinner and there were two NFL playoff games going (we didn't know), but if you wanted to do ANYTHING else other than drink and watch the games (such as talking to each other, or even the server) that was just too bad. We ordered a couple of cocktails, which were quite good, then left and ate dinner somewhere else. Probably fantastic as a sports bar. Not so much as a restaurant unless you're going alone and don't need to talk to anyone, and aren't overly worried about damaging your hearing. read more

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 5/5 Fish & Chips 5/5 Mac n cheese 5/5 *Metered Street parking read more

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! read more

The Brixton - Veggie Burger - Gastropubs Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I'm truly disappointed with my experience at the Brixton. I really wanted to enjoy myself but due to the events that occurred, it made it nearly impossible to do so. I'm usually a very patient person when it comes to service workers considering I'm a server/bartender myself but this was pretty bad. Arrived with a party of 5. We were able to seat ourselves and was greeted by a gentleman who appeared to be tending the bar as well as waiting tables. He took our drink orders and I ordered a hot tea since I was feeling a little under the weather. I was given the tea bag, but didn't receive any hot water until we brought it to our server's attention. No biggie, mistakes happen. Then it was time to order entrees.. ordered their friend chicken and biscuits and our server claimed it was his favorite menu item so I was super hyped about it. When the food started coming out, everyone received their order except me so I was left with no food while everyone ate theirs.. we didn't even receive a check in to see how everything was. My partner spoke up about it and our server immediately addressed the issue which we appreciated, but at this point I was disappointed I wasn't able to eat with my friends. We just asked if we can take it to go. When the to go order arrived, it was neatly packed and sealed with a safety seal. I opened it to add extra sauces in the box and I notice a thin hair in the food. Couldn't be mine because I have thick, wavy hair and the box was literally sealed. That was my last straw and I really just wanted to leave at this point. We didn't even bother to say anything because I just didn't want to extend my stay any longer. Again, I really wanted to like this place since we love trying different gastropubs and my entire party liked their food and drinks, but the service for me just fell EXTREMELY short. We didn't even get my food comped or any personal apology given to me even though it was MY dish that was missing. I don't think I'll ever visit again. read more

Legit no seasonings, and it came out fast which was odd because it seems like they warmed up the food. The plantain had no seasoning. It was some of the worst food I've had. As for service, i would give it a 5/10. Not worth going, and not sure how they have such good reviews. read more

A true gem in Santa Monica! Brixton is my go to bar! They are always consistently delicious as I've tried a majority of the menu. Every drink I've had is so yummy. They have happy hour every day, and unlimited mimosas on the weekends. Service is always top-notch and the staff is always kind S/O Jo and Honora. I love the sports bar vibes and always feel so welcomed! read more

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! :) read more

First time visiting here and I was delighted with the way this steak sandwich fulfilled me. Off the bat you feel welcomed and comfortable the moment you walk in. A laid back environment where can enjoy your time with friends/fam while watching your favorite sports. The tater tots were perfectly crisp and well portioned, you're not getting too little nor too much. The Oaxacan cheese (known as quesillo) adds a perfect contrast in taste than your typical American cheese due to its flavor. The steak itself was medium rare and was tender enough to chew and delicious. The jalapeños add a perfect spice to the whole sandwich. For something casual. I'd recommend this spot to get both your money and time's worth. read more

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. read more

We came here after watching a friend's stand up set at The Crow. The food, service (thanks Pedro) was great! I ordered the veggie burger with sweet potato fries and my most favorite out of all the sides we ordered was the tater tots!! These were hot and crisp. The most perfect yummy tater tots ever with a great side spicy dip. Everyone loved their burgers and the vibe here is fun. There is free parking in the back, I was so lucky I grabbed the last spot.

Really fun pub/restaurant/bar with good drinks and good food. We were pleasantly surprised to discover they have Happy Hour every day from 3:30-7:30. Can't beat that! $4 off on some food, specialty cocktails, and more. We had looked at the menu ahead of time (and photos on Yelp) and knew the items we were interested in trying. They were all on the Happy Hour menu! Our server, Honore I think, was so fun and accommodating. We had given ourselves plenty of time to eat, so ordered drinks first. My Devil You Know cocktail was delicious!! Mezcal, caramelized pineapple juice, ancho Reyes, lime, habanero bitters with a Tajin rim. Smoky and spicy and not too sweet. The gin martini was good but pretty small. My friend had the Former Flame, which was a spicy tequila drink w/cucumber and cilantro. She wanted it a bit sweeter, so Honore brought her a little pitcher of simple syrup and a spoon, so she could adjust it to her liking. Our food came out in "courses" as we requested, so we could enjoy each dish. 3 of us shared the carnivore flatbread (delicious, with lots of short ribs and lovely crunchy fried kale), the Mac & Cheese (so good and creamy), and the fried chicken & biscuits (3 good size pieces of boneless chicken, 2 big biscuits! A little very spicy Cole slaw, honey and mustard.) Everything was so good. We couldn't finish one biscuit or the Mac & cheese! The place is very family friendly, we saw several groups with kids, but also couples and friend groups. It's one big room, but nicely separated, without being obvious, into bar and restaurant. There were a bunch of TVs showing sports, but nothing loud. A nice atmosphere, and they have a parking lot behind the restaurant. read more

First, the service and customer service was excellent! Originally I was supposed to meet my sis-in-law who never came ‍. I sat in my car debating whether or not to enter, I'm so glad I did! I ordered the fish & chips. The fish was cooked to perfection Crunchy, lite on outside and soft juicy inside. The fries were just my type, medium w/o seasoning, I don't drink sodas but I have to admit the coke cola top it off, which made it amazing! Since It was a Sunday afternoon, there were only 6 peeps there. The small number of customers worked out fine; I was by myself, and it would have felt awkward for me if the place was full. I went home very happy and full It all worked out and I'm so glad I experienced this restaurant. Next time I'll bring my hubby, I will Try the Lobster sandwich read more

Had a hankering for Mac and cheese and this place popped up in my search. Time for take out! Work ambiance tonight. Choose the Mac and cheese, short rib poutine ( I added mushrooms to it, yum! ) and the Brussels sprouts. They packaged each box with a tamper resistant seal, which I appreciate very much! Delivery was fast! On to the tastings!! =D The Brussels sprouts glazed in balsamic vinegar crispy and sweet were delicious. The Mac and cheese was creamy smoky with perfectly cooked pasta giving that chewy texture: delicious!! The pièce de résistance was, of course, the Poutine with tender savory short rib, melted cheese curds and mushrooms over fries with gravy was the highlight of my order and a gastronomical delight!! I should've opened the box up for a pic, sorry! Trust me on this, this entree ROCKED!!!! I had plenty to share and that wasn't my intention at all, lol!! Food that fills the stomach and soothes the soul; the Brixton, come check it!! =D read more

The Brixton - Brussel Sprouts and Short Rib Poutine! - Gastropubs Near Me - Santa Monica, California

The poutine here is different. Like... "why didn't we order more?" different. We went straight for the breakfast one--runny egg, crispy fries, cheese curds holding it down, and gravy that didn't just sit there... it pulled the whole dish together like a good group chat. You get the bite with the yolk + cheese + fry + gravy? Game over. That's the combo that ends arguments. We saw the menu had other hitters, and our waiter even threw out a few solid suggestions... lowkey sounded passionate, like he moonlights as a food critic. But honestly? We were locked in on the poutines. No distractions. When something this good's in front of you, you stay loyal. Bathroom was clean. Didn't feel like I had to hover or sanitize the whole stall before using it... that's always appreciated. Parking in the back... smooth entry, no drama. That alone makes this place stand out in LA. Didn't feel like I was about to get towed or boxed in by a food delivery driver on a smoke break. The vibe? Kinda industrial, kinda artsy... feels like somewhere you'd randomly meet a creative director and walk out with a business card and a full stomach. Drove out for this one and yeah... it lived up to the hype. It's giving Action Bronson in a brunch kitchen... messy, bold, and absolutely fire. read more

The Brixton totally surprised me (in the best way)! The vibe is energetic but still chill enough to talk without yelling. The food? Incredible. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and it was packed with flavor. Fries were perfectly crispy, and the cocktails were balanced--not too sweet, not too strong. Service was friendly and quick, even though it was busy. Our server made great drink recommendations, and everything came out hot and fresh. Great for a night out with friends or a casual date. Definitely coming back! read more

This is a great dinner place if you're looking for flavorful, filling dishes. I recommend coming with an empty stomach and ordering family style to try a bunch of dishes! :) some of the dishes we ordered were the deviled eggs, the seafood paella, and short rib poutine. Each was rich in flavor and the seafood paella was probably my favorite because the shrimp and chicken were cooked perfectly. The deviled eggs and poutine are pretty heavy dishes so I would definitely share. The environment is fairly lively since there is a bar area but it wasn't too noisy and we were able to have a nice dinner with family there. Service was quick and attentive and I would definitely come again! read more

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! read more
