Recommended Posts

Nearby Greetings and Somerfields, the old arcade is applying to be a late night bar. Application is to stay open until 12:30am Sunday to Thursday then 2am Friday and Saturday.


Does anyone know anything about Boho Bar or the applicant, Shenol Mentesh Ibrahim? What sort of place are we going to be getting? Spit and sawdust or Chasers? Manhattan or Croydon?

A gentleman with the same first name and surname appears to run and/or be a director of the company that runs/ran the Scene Bar on the OKR.


Edited: to say that it looks like Scene may have shut down now and have been replaced by the fantastically named Xeus nightclub?

OMG I went to Adventure bar on Saturday - I had to leave after one. MOR Rock music (Bon Jovi and Elton John* to name 2 artists) played at such a volume conversation was impossible and lots of over-excited 20 somethings. Nice Margherita but not as strong as the one I then had in Licorish.


sorry - off topic. New bar eh? Just what we need\!!




* I do like some EJ but not what Adventure bar was playing

BoHo really does sound like a strip club. I really hope not - there are enough in the city. It would fail anyway. Personally, I'd love to see an Eclipse type place on LL (it works well in Wimbledon). We could do with something a bit more upbeat and open till late.

Mr MW74 and I saw a 50's style diner/pole dancing club in Brighton last weekend. The 'dancer' was dressed in a 50's style waitress outfit. Mr MW74 wanted to go in thinking it was a normal dinner. I had to point out the rather large pole in the window to him.


Maybe we could have one of those instead?

I do like the breeders, even if their first major successes were ushered in by the demise of the pixies. Although it was inevitable that Kim Deal would find an alternative and equally successful outlet for her talents as they were often bullishly sidelined by black Francis.

I was tempted to go along the Breeders pop group line myself, Brendan, and well done for going there, and that would be usually my tack.

But, I think that Josh's post was worthy of a mention for the quality of it's special air of ill-thought silliness.

Where is breeding taking place in LL bar? Am I missing something!?


I noticed a lot of (sound) insulation piled up in the venue last night, so I'm guessing it's going in the bar/club direction, but that's a pretty loose guess.


Apparently, Adventure Bar is not charging for entry on NYE and will have a last man standing policy!

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
