Pop Brixton

It's great that Pop Brixton now gives us bargain film goers (Ritzy does cheap tickets on a Monday night!) somewhere to eat on a Monday night. I really wanted to give the Ghanaian place a go , but after some confusion was told it had a private party. So i opted for some very nice jerk chicken from Mama Jerk, with plantain & salad! My partner had a Vietnamese salad - both tasty and well priced.

Can't wait to go again

I like this place, I do and I think come the summer I'd love to spend evenings down here munching on the food with a few drinks and friends however it was toooo early in Spring to enjoy as it is all outside (I was just too cold). I also came during an event so it was soooo busy and getting any food meant long queues - not what I enjoy. I can really recommend Donastio however I didn't get to try much else. Dying to try the pizza and the Baba G's. For me PopBrixton is too far out the way from where I live when there are other fab street markets nearer.

This is one of the cool funky permanent pop up things young hipsters are supposed to go to right? It reminded me strongly of Boxpark in Shoreditch, but much better priced and welcoming. Some great food options here, from Mama Jerk to Made of Dough's excellent pizza, and popping into the Ritzy is a sure option if you want to catch a good film - the selection is well curated and tickets are at affordable prices. Stop by for a look and a bite and even stay on if you find yourself in the Brixton area. 

Pop Brixton is a great little hive of activity, grab a bite to eat from one of the many food stalls, get your craft on with a make do and mend workshop, or watch a film while freezing your tits off in the Pop Ritzy. I visited on a very rainy Sunday afternoon, which had somewhat scared away the crowds resulting in a bit of a ghost town. Never the less, it did result in super quick service. We tried out the quesadillas from Maria Sabina Mexican stall, which were really good, but could have done with a bit more of a kick. The Pop Ritzy is located in the middle of container-jungle. I've not been to other pop-up cinemas, so can't compare, but I was a tad disappointed to be honest. It may look cool, but it was blinking cold (despite the blankets) and two hours sat on a hard foldaway chair took me back to memories of crappy school assemblies, not ideal. The film was really good (The Birdman) and it was good to see it on the big screen, but I think next time I'd save myself £6 and watch the DVD from the comfort of my sofa. Get some deck chairs and maybe I'll reconsider.

I went to see Birdman in the Pop Ritzy on a rainy Sunday midday. When we arrived we went straight for the cinema - it's not a huge venue, but makes it more familiar to watch a movie there. I love the idea that they offer you blankets, as it has been freezing (and unfortunately the chairs get quite uncomfortable after a while). The movie was really good, although slightly too long for my liking. At one point it started raining and instead of getting annoyed by it, it added to the cosy atmosphere in a " rain on a tent" (camping) kind of way.

After the movie we had a quick stroll around the pop up, but because of the weather we didn't last long (which might have been the reason why it felt slightly deserted - or the fact that it was the bank holiday Sunday).

But it was definitely worth going all the way down to Brixton and I will try to come back to spend some more time there.

I normally find pop ups to be a mixed bag. Some I've absolutely loved and some just seem to be cashing in on the pop up scene. Popup Brixton has a really good mixture of different types of street food. Have coffee and a crepe to start the morning, catch a film at the Ritzy then come back for Ramen and wine! It may not be that big (or that small) but it fits in just about the right amount of seating/standing space and stalls, and sits nicely in it's surrounding area. It wasn't wildly busy when I was there and I imagine it would lose some of it's charm if it was. It has a makeshift roof to keep the rain away and something severely lacking from other foodie pop ups, toilets!

Not one of London's must sees but definitely worth a stroll and a coffee (or two).

Having loved Pop since it popped up (sorry), great food, great drinks, overall great vibes, I recently attended the Pop Ritzy for a screening of The Graduate which is actually ran by The Ritzy. With only about 25 people in the wooden area, it was a very different and enjoyable experience. With a small bar at the back and blankets on the seats (although it wasn't too cold) there was nothing else we needed! A little pricey for what it is (standard cinema ticket, remember you are outside!) but really nice for a treat. Sitting back and relaxing with a beer in hand to watch a classic like The Graduate, I can't think of any better way to pass a Sunday afternoon...!

If you're hungry for multicultural marvellous magic in Brixton, pop by Pop.
If you like having German beer, NZ wine, local cocktails, or craft beer amongst friends, pop by Pop.
Ultimate foodie venue for chilled out times, before you pop out for further party times.

P.S. This vego highly recommends the vego hotbox at the Vietnamese hut.

Such a great venue for dinner and drinks with friends. Pop Brixton has a really relaxed atmosphere, lots of seating, a good variety of food to try, and reasonable prices!

I popped over to Pop (sorry!) on Saturday in the bright, blazing sunshine with an empty belly ready to make the most of the goodies installed in all those little containers. After walking round and making that agonising choice of where to eat, I chose Miss P's BBQ and had a pulled pork bun with cajun fries. Service was appalling but it tasted amazing so who cares! And afterwards I couldn't resist an amazing oreo cupcake from the beautifully presented Supercute Macarons stall. As delicious as they are enticing. Don't miss them. Pop is a great place to spend a couple of hours. As we munched on our extremely healthy goodies :-S we watched a beat-box off and listened to music while chatting away on the picnic benches in the courtyard. Walking around there are little vintage clothes and home shops tucked away in nooks and crannies and fun art adorning the walls of the containers. Certainly worth a visit if you're at a loss for where to spend a few hours this weekend!

A great new addition to Brixton which is lively and buzzing most most importantly doesn't feel overcrowded. With plenty of food and drink on offer it's the perfect place to spend a few hours on a summer afternoon- not too sure about winter though! Me and my companion chilled in the 'greenhouse' whilst listening to the live music on the stage below. Everyone was so relaxed- talking, laughing, eating, drinking- whatever! As a community project for startups and small local business's, I for one couldn't be happier it's here.

This new pop up is a welcome addition to the Brixton food scene. I had wanted to visit since it opened, and ended up going for a quick bite to eat on a Friday afternoon before heading to a show near Victoria station. The atmosphere was open and relaxed, with plenty of seating upstairs, and several food stalls downstairs. A Cajun fish burger with fries and a glass of organic white wine hit the spot. My boyfriend had tonkotsu ramen, which was also tasty, and a craft beer from the selection on offer at the bar. The place was starting to fill up with people coming after work by the time we left, and the atmosphere was great. I will definitely be returning to this little gem in the south of London!
