The Best Bar in East Dulwich 2007 award - discussion


Mark

Recommended Posts

Shortly our local Landlords will be polishing their pumps and telling their staff to be on their best behaviour as it's almost time for the people to vote for the Best Bar in East Dulwich 2007. The Black Cherry won last year and they are still proudly displaying their trophy behind the bar. This year, considering we have a lot more users to the site, there'll be a lot more panache and desire attached to this prestigious award.


I'm mentioning it in the Lounge initially as I want to check that I have all the bars in East Dulwich on my list and I know people in here like a drink or two. Please note that as much as I would like to include close-by places such as the Gowlett and the George Canning I'm afraid they are out the area and I have to draw the line somewhere. Here's the list:


Franklins

Green & Blue

Inside 72

Liquorish

The Bishop

The Black Cherry

The Castle

The Clock House

The Crystal Palace Tavern (CPT)

The Drum

The East Dulwich Tavern (EDT)

The Forest Hill Tavern (FHT)

The Harvester

The Herne

The Palmerston

The Magdala

The Plough

The Vale

Uplands


Are there any pubs/bars missing? The voting will probably start next week and run for two weeks.


Oh, and the reason it's the "best bar" and not the "best pub or bar" is because it's too tight to fit it on the trophy plaque. And all pubs have a bar.

I was hinking about this, and have a suggestion, although it's probably to much of a pain to sort out.


Rather than just having one vote, how about everyone votes for their top 2 or 3, with their number one getting 3 points, number ywo, 2 points, and number three 1 point. Would be interesting to see how that came out in the wash.


NOTE: You could do 2 votes, giving 3 and 1 points like in the footy.


ANOTHER NOTE: You could just ignore my meddling and stick to the normal vote.

no criteria, just what you think is the best bar in East Dulwich.

    • Just had a carpets cleaned by Steve Nourse and his colleague at short notice. They are lovely guys and the cleaning was quick and carpets look great. Good value. 
    • Looking for tickets for 2 adults one child under 2 and one child over 2. However, please let me know if you have any combination of tickets you are no longer able to use.  Thanks 07756110500
    • all I said was "take a pro cash stance too far" - what twisting have I done?   plenty of good arguments for retention of cash - but let's not get too detached from reality either lest we go back to trading livestock   But to go back to your post DD:   "Or don't stop using cash" Yep plenty of people will agree with this - nothing controversial here   "Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote" - getting a bit weird now - why not - it's super convenient for both users and businesses. And far easier to keep a track of your balance using your electronic wallet than old systems of cheques taking days to clear, how much did I take from cashpoint 2 days ago etc. But people will differ so whatever works   "God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid" - big straw man argument here. Why bring this in? Unless you are also suggesting we don't buy any goods not made from within a 5 mile radius and nothing transported by air or sea? "a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed." I've had my phone stolen but nothing was lost because it was secure.I've been mugged and lost cash and valuable. It's not a binary thing   "your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many."  Proper overreaching now
    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
