I used to get through 6 by 6 in the Bar Story Happy Hour - and it only started at 5. I did pick up a ban for my troubles (commuted now though!)

Cocktails are a MAHOOSIVE money maker for bars. Usually containing very little alcohol, so lots of money for a sugary drink. A very good cocktail barman (I refuse to say "mixologist") once said that you'd be crazy to buy anything much other than a martini or manhattan, as pretty much everything else is a rip off. I love me a vodka martini. Very dry, with a twist.

Defintely recommend Communion- what a crazy place and cocktails!

Thanks for all these suggestions. I already liked the look of The Communion Bar. Little Nan's is new to me. I live just off Lordship Lane so it's a shame it seems there are no actual cocktail bars on LL (or even in ED). The ones mentioned all look to be restaurants that serve cocktails.

Thanks for the clarification on the H.O.T., Jeremy. I'll investigate it!

I'm afraid I do not rate the Communion Bar. The cocktail list looks really interesting but the cocktails fail to deliver. The Crooked Well is usually great for cocktails; though on the last occasion the barman had no idea how to make a dirty martini - but there again I was ordering one on a Saturday lunchtime so I probably got what I deserved!

    • Brockwell Park event organises seems to think the High Court ruling is something they can swat away by making a new application...https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy0jy97l7kno   Interesting comments from the Lib Dem Lambeth leader.....this is oh so familiar.... “This court ruling is a damning indictment of how Labour-run Lambeth has ignored local residents and mismanaged our cherished public spaces. Labour tried to sidestep the full planning process, excluding residents and an environmental impact assessment. For the second week running, their approach has been overturned in Court. It’s an embarrassment for Lambeth Council.

    • Gosh, that all sounds so familiar!  Southwark are constantly holding up their Outdoor Events Policy as proof of process, but then constantly allow exceptions when things aren't quite done correctly. Point in case, Gala's licence application - extract from the Consultation Findings Report - "The GALA team formally submitted their application to hold GALA 2025 to the council on the 7 October 2024. It is usually a requirement that applications for larger scale events are submitted with a minimum of 9 months to process them, but discretion can be applied if there are mitigating circumstances. 8.4 of the Outdoor Events Policy clarifies that processing applications received outside the stated lead-in times is at the Council's discretion. In this case: • The council were aware that Assembled Gala were preparing an application for the event to take place in 2025 in advance of their submission date, with operational discussions already taking place • GALA festival has been taking place in Peckham Rye Park since 2018 – less time is needed regarding event planning than if it were a new event • The GALA team already have a Premises Licence in place for this event (this is a pre- requisite for the Event Licence to be issued), so no time needed to be factored in for a premises licence application and decision-making process" So despite the fact that there would need to be major planning decisions due to the change of site access, they didn't think Gala needed to adhere to the same rules as everyone else? Makes me wonder what other rules they are exempted from... On a similar note, has anyone received a Resident Communication letter, containing the contact details for issues? We haven't, and we live directly opposite the site on Colyton Rd. They were supposedly distributed on 29/4...
