Was Starbucks not a joke??

I'd turn it back into a bar that shows sport on TV. Let's face it you've only got the EDT down on the strip that shows sports and that gets too packed for me. Plenty of space in The Mag for big game events, football, rugby, cricket and boxing. Give it a simple menu for food i.e tapas style snacks, pizza and Sunday roasts with plenty of real ales and craft beers and whoever takes it over would be onto a winner in my opinion.

Hell yes. Plus maybe some comedy or other interesting nights/community groups in the top room? I keep trying to see what's going on when I go past, will ask if I get an opportunity.

I do not think that this location can ever function as a successful Pub / Restaurant.


If that were the case the 'Big Boys' would of taken it on.

The people who know what will and what won't work.


It's as simple as that.


It really is a Characterless, Soulless building and has been for many many years...


Just Let it Be.

I am not being NEGATIVE. I'm being REALISTIC...


I used this place back in the 70's when it was done up like a Cave. and the DJ was out back

in the centre of the room in a little box. It wasn't a 'nice place' There was a lot of trouble

back then..


I used it in the 90's when it was being run by neighbours and friends of mine.

It was more like a private bar back then with a few people that all new each other.


Then it become a Pizza place out back. Which failed.


Then it went through another phase where apart from our Photography group meeting there once a week

the place was empty. It was cold and had no beer most of the time.


Then it became The Patch. and we all know how long that lasted.


You have to go back a long way to this place being packed.


So you see, those are the facts..

Go on slag it off before anything happens Dulwich Fox - it was you and your EDF cronies who were so negative before! I liked the Mag and I enjoyed the Patch and was willing to give it a go - ok things slipped - so let's be positive for the future - the cinema opening on LL next month could well bring the 'footfall' further up the road and anything that boosts ED and keeps it a thriving area with independent entrepreneurs - go for it and supprt it!

I remember it being packed for rugby games in there in the Magdala days, and a much nicer, more relaxed atmosphere in general. Just think it needs a warm friendly vibe rather than trying too hard, but it's really not that bad a space. And agree the cinema opening will probably have a big effect, it's the nearest pub by some distance, got to make a difference even with the cafe/bar at the cinema (especially if that gets as packed as the one at the Ritzy).

I'm not slagging anything off. Nothing has been decided yet so there is nothing to slag off.


Just get off my case. You know nothing about this area.. or it's people or what they want.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi , he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in East Dulwich . how much do you charge ?   Thanks 🙏🏼 
    • 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
