Upstairs At The Department Store in Lambeth

I recently visited Upstairs Brixton with my partner for drinks and snacks before heading to an event at the Brixton O2, and it was a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, which set the tone for a lovely time. The atmosphere inside was cozy and inviting, a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a pre-event drink. We also ventured up to the roof terrace to take in the view, but it was a little chilly that evening – something to look forward to trying again in warmer weather! Although we didn’t have a chance to sample the food this time, the menu looked absolutely divine. It’s definitely something we’ll try on our next visit, as it’s clear a lot of care and thought has gone into curating a delicious selection. Overall, Upstairs Brixton provided the perfect setting for a laid-back yet stylish start to our evening. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return soon. Thank you for a memorable experience – we’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Gorgeous venue and excellent band

Wonderful roof terrace and delicious cocktails. Great staff.

Fantastic food and service for our wedding lunch from Priscilla and the team. Beautiful setting in the Dome and all ran like clockwork. Would highly recommend.

Always a fun night at the department store! Great cocktails from George :)

Had a great eve with my mates. The barman George somehow made it better with his off-piste and innovative cocktails. My first mezcal espresso martini certainly won’t be the last ;)

Booked "The Dome" Upstairs at The Department Store for an intimate private dining. For private dining you order from a limited fixed menu, but the dishes were inventive and delicious. The space is actually fantastic - memorable and unique, topped off with decent views and access to your own private section of the roof terrace. Service was outstanding. There was a mix up when we booked (after we had paid to secure, we were told they had double booked the space), however the way it was handled was honest and was happy with the resolution. Communication was great. You can provide your own music. There is a cakeage fee of £5 a head! (we did not use this). There is a hire fee for the space, but no minimum spend. All round a wonderful experience. Recommended.

George (with the mullet) was one of the most helpful & attentive bartenders I've ever met. Super friendly, excellent service, incredible manners, and generating impeccable service. A real legend!

Leano was so amazing lovely service will definitely come back

I found this hidden gem after getting stuck in the lift and only being able to get to the 4th floor. The staff were welcoming and the venue was warm and comfortable. I had a lovely lunch with my toddler. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful venue, very relaxed with some lovely views of the city. Lovely food, great drink selection. I look forward to my next visit.

Great place and amazing service

Beautiful place, lovely food, can’t wait to see the balcony in the summer

@up_brixton is a surprising unique venue - drink - dine - dance - and take in great rooftop top vibes with @broadcite DJs #LDC #livedancecreate

I arranged a Christmas meal with friends from University at Upstairs and it was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the staff and service was really impressive. We had a range of different starters and mains across the group that were all of the highest quality. Lovely cocktails too - 10/10 and I will be back soon

Service delivered by the bar management team was superb. Looked after our every need

The Brixton Chamber Orchestra were completely off the chain. See them, hear them, love them

This place how tonight it was very very cool and also for wat his terrace

Room was cold Food & plates was cold Sunday lunch Wasn’t allowed to have my beef med / well only comes med - so undercooked and could not cut the beef Sourdough bread was cold and hard ( used to have warm fresh bread with great butter - not anymore!) Only roast available pork and beef Standard & choice of food was very poor compared to before Worst £60 spent on a meal and still hungry!

very unhelpful staff. These should learn how to run a proper club . Not jpining

We had duck and steak with chips as main and unfortunately they both were quite dry. The pumpkin as start was a bit better. Food was a disappointment. Nice atmosphere

Lofty upstairs in the heart of Brixton. Awesome 👍🏾

Nice little venue for events, in the heart of Brixton

A friend held her 60th birthday dinner in the Dome at Upstairs and we were blessed with a beautiful late summer's evening. A stunning room, great terrace and fabulous views. Food was great, service excellent. We celebrated in style.

I’ve been here several times and always enjoyed the food and cocktails. The seasonally changing menu is great, the watermelon gazpacho was to die for! The service was great, and the sunset views amazing. An oasis in bustling London, I’ll be sure to return again

What a delightful space in the heart of Brixton! Menu was sumptuous and the salad I ordered was devine! Lovely setting and a great idea for a members club. I’d love to come back to try out the other dishes!

Excellent food and great friendly service.

I was invited to come for drinks by a member and loved it. Nice, chilled out terrace with lots of plants. Attentive and friendly staff. I’ve become a bit sick of many bars/pubs in the general SW area because they’re often rammed to capacity with loud idiots and you have to reserve a table well in advance if you want a seat. If I wasn’t moving out of the area soon, I’d apply for membership myself!

From the moment we arrived , we were greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Attentive staff. The highlight of the visit was the fantastic view over the roof tops of Brixton. It felt like a serene oasis, a peaceful retreat, despite being in the bustling centre of Brixton.

Cool and relaxed location for meeting up with friends. The food is great and the terrace is a lovely place to enjoy the warmer weather.

Been a bunch for drinks and a few times for dinner. Each time the service is just dreadful. We were there this past weekend and no better. Too few people that don’t seem to know what they are doing. Are you ready to order? No I need a menu. Are you ready to order? No I need a wine list. Are you ready to order? We ordered 15 minutes ago but no one has brought the wine. Food is usually good though not prices akin to other clubs I’d say, so a little toppy. My partner had the risotto as a main and what came probably would have served 3-4 people anywhere else. Just an absolute mass of risotto. The waiter then asked why it hadn’t been finished and what was wrong with it 😂 and the. The bill was very wrong. I really like this place for drinks in the summer but the service really lets it down even then. I hope they train the staff up and sort it out as it’s a real let down.

Saturday lunch with my Daughter which is a member and her family . Great location , huge dining room and good service . Very good food . We"ll come back in Seeing or summer to enjoy the beautiful sundeck terrace .

Went for dinner here last night with 2 close friends, food was absolutely sublime. The head Chef James was incredible and looks like he has an amazing career ahead of him… Every dish was exceptional! Atmosphere and surroundings were to die for, a real Oasis! We will certainly be back!

The Upstairs is a nice club, the staff is welcoming and the ambience relaxed but sophisticated. The drinks are extremely good, and the food tasty and light. A recommended place (if you know a member) to spend a nice evening

This is a great place, drink selection amazing and such a mellow atmosphere. Menu was a little bit limited, and one of the starters wasn't available.. Great evening with friends though.

A friend introduced me to this place and I was very impressed Went on a Friday night and had a great time with great music from all genres I would like to thank the DJ Roland Garcia for playing some great times and taking requests for my friends birthday All together a great night highly recommended
