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!

    • Local council member for Lambeth leisure dept might be interested
    • Yep I would definitely advise booking Janda. It was rammed and we even had to wait a bit for our reservation. 
    • This reminds me of "the grasshopper" at Westerham when a tabloid paper did an exposé about their swinger parties (many many years ago)  The result was that every man and his dog went there to see if they could get in to a party. Pub did amazing business but think the club may have closed as a result.  Bet the Telegraph article will be great publicity for belair sex parties and every pervert under the sun will invade Dulwich village and the square (of shame) 
    • I find Fusion are Horrendous. When they ran Forest Hill pools it was always (although a new facility at the time) really grubby. Overflowing filthy toilets, dirty changing rooms, slippery floors and filthy swimming pool with cloudy water and Lifeguards who did'nt give a damn about teens  jumping in the pool and making trouble pushing and splashing adult and elderly swimmers. It was grim and I cancelled my membership and joined Dulwich leisure Centre because I got tired of complaining about changing rooms that smelt of p**s and used sanitary products left on the floor...and nothing changing..new managers would come promise improvement and making zero difference. In the End they lost the contact and FHP is run by Better and it really is....Better! I'm now happy to go there its well staffed, clean and well run. Unfortunately unless Fusion loose the contract for the Lido I fear things won't improve.
