Hacha Brixton to close
By Melita KielyAnother London bar closure is on the cards, as Hacha Brixton will be shutting for good in February.

Hacha Brixton will be calling last orders for the final time on 15 February.
Opened 3.5 years ago in Brixton Village, Hacha Brixton was the second outpost from Hacha, following the original site in Dalston, London.
Announcing the news on Instagram, co-founders Deano Moncrieffe and Emma Murphy, wrote: “Having spent a wonderful 3.5 years in Brixton Village we are sad to announce that we will be serving our last Margaritas on February 15th.
“We have wholeheartedly enjoyed being part of the Brixton community and welcoming the thousands of agave lovers that have joined us over the years, but circumstances beyond our control have led us to this decision.”
The post continued: “As always, we have many exciting things in the pipeline so watch this space, and of course, Hacha Dalston will remain open as usual.”
Speaking in the video that accompanied the announcement, Moncrieffe said it was a “very difficult decision” for him and Murphy to make, and it was “ not a decision we took lightly but we thought it was in our best interests to close the doors”.
Moncrieffe’s Hacha is also behind the acclaimed Mirror Margarita ready-to-drink cocktail.
He is also the founder of Equal Measures, which was established in 2020. The non-profit – which won the Ethical Award at The Spirits Business Awards 2024 – aims to change the conversation about diversity and inclusion in the spirits and hospitality industries.
Hacha Brixton is not alone in its closure announcement. This week, news also broke that London bar Silverleaf would be closing.
Earlier this month, the New World Trading Company also closed two of its Botanist bars and an additional site in the UK.
Meanwhile, in October last year, TT, formerly known as TT Liquor, in London also shut after nine years.
In a challenging environment, The Spirits Business explored what could be done to reinvigorate the UK capital’s nightlife scene, following a swathe of club and bar closures.
