The Queens Head in Lambeth

Went here for a pub quiz recently. The pub was freezing cold, everyone kept their coats on, and a very limited section of beers available (over two thirds of draughts were off). Plus no alcohol free, in dry Jan. Staff were very friendly however, and attentive with glass collection.

Done a 30 min slot place is lively

Nice pub with a cozy beer garden. We went during the day and got to take our dog which was nice and they gave us a bowl or water for him.

Great venue for gigs and a good range of beers available. Bar is cashless! Always running out of beer though! Nice little courtyard out the back! I

Small intimate venue. Nice pub with big outdoor space at the back

Why your stuff is so rude? Is this part of the experience or just their personal choice?

Halfway between Stockwell and Brixton tube this place is easy to get too. I went to see some live music and the pub has a stage down one side. They have a large variety of drinks and the staff were both fast and nice as well, you won't wait ages to get served. They have a food offering but I did not try this. There is a garden to the rear which was busy with plenty of seating. Loos were clean and everything worked. I knocked one star off simply as the lighting for the stage could be improved though it's way better than some other places I have been too. Overall a really nice pub that if you passing is well worth popping into

Great place very friendly and welcoming. Good range amf entertainment throughout the week too.

Great pub for punk gigs. Thanks to South London Punk Collective!! Lovely staff.

Great vibe at The Sunday Service - afternoon alternative punk entertainment arranged monthly by Fleagle and the South London Punk Collective. January 2022 featured anarchistwood ...

Nice place but don't accept cash ..

Lovely people. Great beer garden. Had a wonderful time.

Went there after ages. It was a quick drink with my friends.. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Don't take cash payment, it's a no from me...

pint served with attitude by a rude guy who seems to really hate his job, awful experience

I had such a nice night here thanks to Daniel (I think?) at the bar. Lived on Stockwell Rd for years and finally came in. Thanks for recommending the Spanish beer. 🙂

Have visited once for the pub quiz and can’t wait to go back, such a friendly and lively pub!

The Gamma ray was very nice. Good ambience.

I only had a drink here but the staff were very friendly and it appeared a clean and well kept pub.

Pretty good venue. Love popping in here for a pint when I’m in the area

Nice staff! Good vibration ...

Love it 😀 full power good energy ☠🖤

It was empty on a Saturday night and I left without even having a drink. The music was so loud I couldn't hear myself even screaming.

Great music and fantastic staff, would recommend

I was served by mannie. Great service. Very quick despite how busy it was

Great little find, loved it. The music and atmosphere were both spot on. Such a friendly little pub.

Great local pub, very friendly staff.

I have been here twice and had two completely different experiences! The first time we actually left without having a drink because the service was so slow and we couldn't get their attention. The next visit however was the opposite. Very friendly staff, and we had drinks in our hands within minutes. There is a cute beer garden out the back with a roof. It's nicely decorated! They also do live music here.

Legendary pub quiz on Wednesdays 8:00pm, £2pp, hosted by south London’s finest MC, Alfie

They let me charge my phone and had sick live music

Friendly staff. Great atmosphere and decent Guinness!

Exceptional staff - great vibe.

Best pub in the area, don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise :)

Great old pub near center of Brixton. Good selection of beers on the bar. Covid restrictions adhered to with waiter service.

Good selection of beers and great service

Great pub, with garden, and an excellent range of beers. Staff are always friendly and welcoming

Very interesting to meet with friends

Great Guinness and lovely outdoor seating

Fantástico pra um ótimo dia na paz London

What a night was had, Bashy Beats Queen's Head 2020

Great night, fantastic music #BashyBeats #EarthstrongCelebrations 🥳🥳

One of the more laid back pubs in Brixton. Now with vegan pizza.

Most of the pints were off, there was no cider at all, and it had one of those infuriating layouts where everyone is always in the way of everyone else.

Ótimo lugar atendimento de qualidade e comida excelente

One of the worst pubs I’ve stumbled across. Scruffy. No atmosphere. No beer (pretty much all draft beer was off). Only a couple of people inside. Expect this establishment to close imminently as there is absolutely no effort made in trying to maintain it. Just awful.

I liked the atmosphere but music was a tad loud earlier in evening but good vibes later except they ran out of alcohol. Not great for a pub 🤣🤣🤣

The staff are excellent - friendly and fun. They do their best keeping us customers happy without having beer to serve. Sadly, there’s almost never more than 1 beer choice on tap. The beers are overpriced and the Sunday roasts are long gone. Replacing a menu with only vegan pizzas doesn’t give much to regulars who want a choice. Even the outdoor sound system doesn’t seem to work so no music in the beer garden. I’ve never seen a full range of beers available once. Last night was the worst with just 2 on tap and having to buy canned Stella takes away the purpose of going to the pub... Sad to see a nice local pub like this.

Absolutely freezing. It's February and the doors are wide open. About 0.6 beers on tap and a terrible paint job.

The waiter was nice and comfortable place to be

Most of the decent craft beer is never in stock. Good vibe and nice people though!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, I had a good time there and will go back again.

Great to see new management in place!

It's a great atmosphere and lovely staff always happy to help also great quiz and comedy nights.

Staff incredibly nice! Amazing pizza

La primera vez en mi vida, probé recientemente una pizza a base de plantas aquí, y me enamoré de inmediato:) ¡Es increíble - cocinar comida tan deliciosa exclusivamente de plantas! Todos los tipos de cerveza son de muy alta calidad y sabrosos. Y personal muy agradable, especialmente el cocinero :)

Not sure about the Vegan menu, pub side is good though!

Totally vegan, which I'm not, amazing food

Food was tasty, but super overpriced, probably won't be coming back as there's better vegan pizza at a more affordable price elsewhere!

Wow, qué pub perfecto. Gran servicio, gran variedad de cervezas y puedes probar primero. . . ambiente encantador, super pizzas. . . Volveremos al 100% cuando estemos en Brixton o Stockwell. . .

I actually went for the Picky Woops' food, they are now doing the kitchen there. So I liked the pizzas and the place, it's a nice space. The pizzas are a must try!

Great vegan pizza and relaxed atmosphere.

Pretentious. Beer is unknown and ridiculous. Food is pretentious pizza. Very silly. Service was the star of the show

Great neighbourhood pub. Been a few times and always impressed by the Beer selection. Nice garden of the weather permits but there is also some cover of it doesn't.

Great place to eat vegan food. The garlic bread is really good.

¡Vine a visitar a mis amigos y visité este maravilloso pub una vez más! El jardín estaba bastante lleno y tuvimos que esperar un poco en la comida, ¡pero valió la pena esperar! Mi ensalada de oise era deliciosa!  La chica que nos cuidó fue muy amable y atenta. Tenía una hermosa tarde sin duda volveremos!

Great vegan food! Both the pasta and the pizza are fantastic. Great staff!

Went there for an evening of board games with friends. They have a good selection of games. We sat out in the garden and that's a good place for spring time. The outdoors is covered and protected from the nasty London wind. They have the local beer from the Brixton brewery so go here for some local beer tasting. PickyWops are here making vegan pizza and they have some interesting menu items 😋 careful though they are expensive.

Ya que este pub fue veganizado por PickyWops, ¡la comida es increíble! Increíble pizza vegana, pasta y un menú secreto con algunos extras deliciosos disponibles. Todo el alcohol es vegano también, por lo que es un verdadero paraíso para los veganos y sus amigos. Si tienes un amigo que se resiste a renunciar al queso, este es el lugar para llevarlo. Las cortezas de pizza también son muy saludables, así que puedes comer pizza y sentirte virtuoso (¡algo así!). También tenga una divertida noche de concursos en la víspera de los miércoles, y un hermoso jardín de cerveza. 10/10

Super vegan pizza and very friendly stuff.

Glad to see the pub is going again under new ownership. Came before a gig at the academy and it was packed, great atmosphere. Fantastic, very reasonably priced all vegan menu (hooray!) - very much enjoyed the deep fried banana bud. Sadly the guy who served us was hopeless - we wondered if he’d ever set foot in a pub before let alone worked in one! Told us confidently there was no rose. Then told us equally confidently no dry white wine. Really? So.... what wine is there? He directed us to the wine list which was full of dry whites. Then couldn’t find the chosen bottle....and finally wanted to serve it in champagne flutes. As we sat down we noticed the people next to us drinking the non existent rose. I think what irked was that he wasn’t able to say he didn’t know, but instead just said they didn’t have stuff. Hopefully he will shape up or ship out before our next visit. Otherwise a really nice pub.

Good pub with a very good beer selection. Has a little stage area for presumably live acts. Service was fine and staff were friendly. Only issue was the place was a bit cold due to the weather, but I can imagine it being glorious in the summer. Our main reason for visiting was to try the pizza (PickyWops have currently taken over the kitchen). It was absolutely delicious (we got the protein punch and a greenman with stuffed crust) and the trek to Brixton worth it. That said, if we lived closer we'd definitely visit more often just for drinks; the place has a very nice vibe :)

Great selection of vegan beers at good prices. Friendly staff. Cute beer garden and interior of pub is spacious and clean. It is amazing to have a pub with so much choice for vegans - both food and drink.

Alright for a pint and or a bite. Crowd is cheery but can get busy in here. I'd love to say it has more to be honest it's a good old as you'd expect Pub. Outside seating available and venue is tidy. Menu limited and carries typical pub grub but the price point is fair.

The atmosphere is really nice and chilled a perfect spot to get away from the busy streets of London. Good Beers and of course, let's do not forget about the amazing pizza we had there ! Thanks to one and unique PickyWops as always delicious !

Busy busy busy. Lovely pizza, served quickly, considering how busy they were.

Now this rating is based on the previous owners the new owners are a bit polite for me so I've stopped going there but it seems ok.

Good pub for pre-gig warm up drinks as 5 mins stroll from the Academy. Decent beer selection too

Went on a Wednesday quiz night and it was fantastic.

Used to be the best local pub in the area with plenty of characters and always a party after. I was welcomed in and had a great time here for several months. Gentrification has killed this pub.

The queens head has always been one of my favourite pubs in Brixton. For once you can enjoy a conversation with staff or locals and not feel like your some weirdo. The food is limited but that may be due to kitchen not being so big. The small garden is cosy and a great design. The only let down which is why it doesn’t have 5 stars is the Drinks. Before they were local brewery’s and some more smaller independent brands (cider was Fantastic changing every week with great flavours) now it’s larger brands which are not always best. Get your old suppliers back in!

I think the place has changed hands.. didn't look as good in photos when I went there

Good as always and more. The pizza is delicious and doesn't spend ages to arrive. The drinks are average London price, but goog quantity. Clean and with many seats and tables. There is live music every Sunday. Variable genre, but mainly funky, ska and Jazz. Really suggested.

Good atmosphere, nice wine selection. Good beer selection but half were not on so a bad mark there. Pizza was excellent

Nice, cosy place to drink with friends

This used to be one of the best pubs in the area. Closing around 3 AM every day with different things every night. You were never bored there. It became another souless gastro pub with basic decoration and expensive beers. No atmosphere anymore.

Late pub with some good late music nights

Great beer garden. Brilliant prices and great staff

Brixton gem. Non pretentious with good beer and atmosphere.

Friendly, low key place for a drink. Very cute garden.

Had a really nice time here until we saw someone diagonally from the window staring at us eating our food whilst being completely naked. They had big speakers and were blaring music at us whilst we ate. He looked like ed Sheehan but am pretty sure he wasn’t.

From looks the place is kind of 'work in progress' and does not pretend to be otherwise in service either. The bar service is a tad slow at peak times, patience is required, but the staff are polite. Not a great selection of real ales but at least they're pumping through locally brewed beer. Clientele is a mixture of local and after work folk, overall a pleasant crowd but the pub could do more. I haven't tried the food, yet.

Nice boozer, the Gammaray is good and the pub is nice and friendly. Pretty darn pricey and most people sit outside because you can smoke. Not sure about the SW9 cocktail, wasnt feeling it.

Wicked little place with a great vibe and a tasty beer selection. Awesome quiz night in Wednesdays

Great pub quiz on Wednesday nights

I was seeing a concert at the O2 with my cousin and we wanted something to eat first. All the bars and restaurants were full so we came in here. It wasn't too busy and we got a table inside. The bar staff were friendly and I ordered 2 x Double Gin and Tonics, Tuna Nicoise Salad and a bowl of chips for £30. I was pleasantly surprised when the food came. The chips were home made and were served Hot and the Tuna Nicoise Salad was huge and filled me up. I would definitely recommend this pub for food and the atmosphere was great . I will be back 10/10

Looking for a place for a drink before a gig at the O2 and didn’t fancy the Wetherspoons. Walked to the Queens Head five minutes up Stockwell Road. Not entirely salubrious from the outside. What a surprise! Great atmosphere, friendly and with a courtyard to boot. Really nice place, nice and different beers. Didn’t eat but the menu looks interesting and the food looked good. Really good buzz going on. Recommended

Pretty quiet place, which means that even on a Friday night I can usually get a table. Really nice interior and great local beers on tap. Not too pricey either. A great local boozer.

Great beer and good service. Nice garden too!

Nice food and good quiz but food is probably too expensive for what it is. Nice atmosphere and really good staff.

Very aggressive manager ! Beyond rude ! Total lack of perspective ! Ruins unfortunately the place . Avoid ! Needless to say first time, last time !
