My Night Out in East Dulwich.....


Mick Mac

Recommended Posts

A new thread where people say where they were in ED tonight, what bars etc. And rate their experience.


I'll start: Tonight I was out with a mate and in:

The Gowlett from 8.30 - 10.30 then EDT briefly and from 11pm-1am in Franklins.


Gowlett 8/10 - great bar. Had some pizza and real ale. Only spoiled temporarily by the music. The seem to have a do it yourself dj option and some of the 80s revival music chosen was not great.

Franklins. 7/10 hard to rate as late in evening but barman served up until 12 and did a large measure of macallen. Tops.


Were we in the presence of any other forumites?

You see Tony, not everything in SE15's gone down hill since the old days - I suspect back in your day the only thing you could get on the 7th floor of the multi-storey was dose off Beryl from the Bun House or a shoeing off the F-Troop.

I went to the Rosendale for the first time on Saturday night for a few drinks and dinner and absolutely loved it.

I had the steak and chips which I would score 9/10, best chips I've had in a long time. The service was great, really friendly staff and the atmosphere very relaxed for a Saturday night.

I'll definitely be going back there again.

Oh I appreciate that there's a lot of history behind the place Keef and I remember my dad taking me down there once or twice but since I've grown up and can afford to get legless on my own steam it's just never really appealed to me.


I like to think of myself as an honest realist when confessing my local. It is and probably always will be the Capitol in Forest hill, even though it is a bit pikey.

I agree Keef . Too many many try hards on LL. I spent a new years eve in the cpt a couple of years ago only because it was the only place that didnt need tickets to get in and it was brilliant, lively, comfortable and welcoming . Capitol can be a bit scuzzy but at least it has an unpretentious atmosphere .

The Capitol!!!! Let's face it it's not a pub is it? Jeez what a shithole. I walked in there once and didn't even make it as far as the bar (which is miles away) before I did an about turn and walked out never to return. It's cavernous and has a crappy atmosphere or no atmosphere. Bloody awful. A perfectly good former cinema ruined. Give me a proper pub like the CPT any day.

    • Another great encounter with Aria. A leaking toilet was fixed quickly and cleanly and for a reasonable price. Aria’s always going to be our first call for plumbing work, and he knows a lot of good local people for their types of jobs.
