Brixton Beach Boulevard Rooftop Bars and Diners for Summer 2016


Brixton Beach Boulevard is a rooftop bar with 6 food options, opening from the end of May to the end of August 2016.  Situated on Valentia Place, between Coldharbour Lane and Brixton Station Road, it'll be open from Thursdays to Sundays, starting 27th May, and is based on a 1980s Miami vibe.  The six restaurants are Miami Bass - high end, Lucky Pierre - 'Frites & Treats', The Other Side Fried - buns, La Chatica - Latin American, Nanny Bills - streetfood classics, and Mac To The Future - Mac & Cheese.  This looks like a great addition to the summer 2016 rooftops!

"The award winning team behind Brixton’s South Pole Saloon (Design My Night's "Best Pop-Up London 2015) have unveiled their plans for ‘Brixton Beach Boulevard’ - a pop up neon beach town in the heart of Brixton, transporting guests to back in time to the beating heart of glittering 80’s Miami:
“It’s Miami 1982. The air hangs thick and heavy as temperatures run high along the sun kissed boards of The Boulevard. Palm trees throw shade over the pastel coloured buildings of the strip - a daylight costume that fades as the sun goes down, and gives way to the glittering jacket of night time. This is a neon city where girls in short skirts with golden tans work their way into the hearts of the bad boys of the beach. But all that glitters ain't gold in this popping playground, for high-rollers, roller skaters, love makers and money takers.”
Opening on May 27, ‘Brixton Beach Boulevard’ invites guests to escape the hustle and bustle of London, wind back the clock and turn up the heat for a series of immersive day and night parties, surprise DJ sets, live broadcasting of this summer’s amazing sporting events, outdoor screenings of classic 80’s films, plus local street food vendors and refreshing summer cocktails. Supplying the sound at Brixton Beach Boulevard will be Pioneer Pro Audio and their fantastic XY Series.

The Queen of Hoxton's Summer of Love Rooftop Bar for Summer 2016


This summer the Queen of Hoxton's rooftop bar has taken a psychedlic 'summer of love' theme, complete with cool nots of San Francisco in the 1960s, flower power and more.  There's food, including Beatnik Burger, and Psychedelic Ice Cream Sandwich, not to mention Salmon and Garfunkel (from the BBQ), plus lots of cocktails with names like LSTea, The Limes They Are a Changin’, and even ice cream floats, called things like Drop Sorbet, Not Bombs.  (They clearly had fun naming things!)  It's open Monday to Saturday for the summer, nad there are lots of special events planned too.  Be There, or Be Square!

"High above the busy streets of London, a colourful kaleidoscopic hideaway is waiting to transport dreamers, lovers and revellers back to the hazy summer of 1967…
Welcome to A Tribute to Dr Strange, our nostalgic homage to one of the world’s most legendary summers, when scores of young people travelled from across America and beyond in search of a spiritual revolution. Arriving in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury, they cast off constricting social values and championed ideas of peace, communal living, experimentation and spirituality. Psychedelia, flower power and freedom reigned.
More than a generation has passed since the radical and revolutionary furore of the Summer of Love, yet the issues reminiscent of a 1960s world - war, social inequality and financial crises - appear ever closer to the current global climate. So this summer on the Queen of Hoxton’s infamous rooftop bar, we will be celebrating the ethos of a counter-culture that is as relevant and radical now as it was nearly fifty years ago. Expect an intoxicating utopia filled with flowers, trippy visuals, and interactive installations to satisfy your inner flower child."

When - Until October 2016
Monday-Saturday 4pm-10pm
(Free entry, except when there are events on - check listings here
