SAN MARINO

San Marino is your classic Brixton haunt, serving up sandwiches that are so good they might just make you weep. This place has been around since the 90s, and the family vibe still shines through—shoutout to Chris for being the cocktail wizard behind the bar. With spicy chicken paninis and a golden hour happy hour, it’s hard not to feel at home here. If you’re after a place to kick back with a drink and some solid nosh, you might just have found your new local.

The atmosphere is buzzing, with patrons laughing and enjoying the good times. But let’s be real, the menu isn’t winning any awards for creativity—though it doesn’t need to when the classics are done so well. Just be prepared for it to get a bit busy; this place is popular for a reason. So if you want to experience Brixton life at its best with some hearty food and friendly faces, San Marino is the place.
