Georgian Tiki
First established as the Cock Tavern, our Georgian era pub was transformed into a tiki bar in 2003 and known as the London South Pacific bar until we took over in 2018. Respectful of the Cock's colourful past, we brought back the original name and reworked the Tiki interior with the Georgian legacy to create our very own Georgian Tiki style.
Classic Cocktails
From Rhubarb Gin Spritz to Smoked Cherry Negroni, our list of over a dozen includes Cosmopolitans, Margaritas, and Classic, Dirty or Expresso Martinis, as well as our very Flat White Espresso Martini.
About Us
Farika is famous for her legendary watering holes scattered throughout London since the 90s, and most recently the adored and much missed Nelson’s Head by Columbia road flower market.
In December 2017 Farika and her team Patrick Black and Leean James packed up their juke box and moved a few stops down the Northern line to Kennington, to bring new life to the 200 year old Cock Tavern.
Together with their magic team of genuinely lovely and super friendly bar staff, headed up by Daniel, guests can expect a warm welcome and great service.
We stand for friendship and inclusivity.

Press
“Declaring herself ‘over’ Shoreditch, Farika – one-time landlady of the cult E2 pub that is now Nelsons Head – has set up camp in Kennington.
And very camp it is.
Her new pub, Georgian in origin but occupying the former premises of Hawaiian-style tiki bar South London Pacific, resembles a film set of a sacrificial temple. Here a party-loving pansexual posse cavorts amid the totem poles to a mix of kinky beats, trash pop and loony tunes until as late as 3am.
In the airy main bar, all quaint and quirky artworks nailed to the ceiling, well-priced Slings, Sours, Manhattans, Martinis, and Negronis go down a treat. Alternatives range from craft brews and lad lagers to classy French crus and Bolly among the bubbles.”
