Bricks: Pub in Brixton, London

Bricks is a food venue in SW9, and its programme leans towards dance. You will find disco and funk nights, rhythm-led sessions and electronic sets, plus the odd community celebration. The room suits people who come to move. Nobody needs a warm-up. The music tends to be upbeat, and the crowd knows what it is there for. Some nights are themed and some are looser. Community groups use the space for their own gatherings, so the feel can change from one night to the next. That mix is part of the appeal. If you like dancing that feels social rather than styled, start here. Go with an open mind and let the night set the pace.
