Pub Crawl

[felt-tip]

On Sunday I enjoyed a lovely stroll up through Dulwich Woods to the Dulwich Woodhouse, then onto Alleyns Head, Crown and Greyhound and through the Park to the Plough - with a pint in each.

Any other ideas for a nice pub crawl taking in some areas for a good stretch of the legs?

There are some long walks there being suggested. You may need to drive.

True. Not everybody drinks alcohol though do they?

Pub crawl suggestion...as tried and tested this evening with a couple of friends.

Started at The Vale - pleasantly surprised. I asked a man (who said he was the owner) about this Whetherspoon thing and he said it was "all a load of crap". Make of that what you will. But nice and cosy sitting next to the real fire.

Then we moved on to...oh gawd...where was it? Was it Hoopers? Yes, I think it was Hoopers. Not my favourite - a bit too quiet...and decor a bit old fashioned for me...a nice old man's pub...lots of old men reading their papers in silence. But I was sold by the TV showing Man. U playing Wolverhampton. One of my friends said it was her favourite of the evening...so it's all very subjective.

Then the Victoria Inn. One of Scott's bars. Prefer it to the Actress...less noisy and a bit more comfortable. Certainly not as crowded.

Finally the Montpelier...I can't remember anything about that one. Oh yes...a kind of cross between the Actress and another pub but I can't remember which right at the minute. My tongue is numb - that last Sambuca was over the top.

You don't drink sambucca when you are out with the footy gals!

*bursts out laughing*

You are right! I am off cider at the moment. Started off tonight's pub crawl with Cahlua - lovely sweet toffee like coffee flavour. The final pub (Montepelier) didn't stock it and I fancied something sweet, so ordered Sambuca because it tastes of aniseed balls. Nearly blew my head off - but delicious. Drank it slowly by dipping my tongue into glass for a few seconds at regular intervals. Result = numb tongue LOL!

See you soon for a Sambuca (or two)! x

[DJKillaQueen]

No I still have flashbacks to my last Sambucca adventure - 'Post Traumatic Sambucca Disorder' will be with me for a while yet......!

[Ladymuck]

Yes, but didn't you drink half a bottle of the stuff LOL?

[karter]

DJKQ, go have some Sambuca, it will help with your footie injury.

It was a great pub crawl for a Tuesday night, i liked all of the bars, we didn't need to drive either :), it was a good walk and a fair amount of booze involved. The Vale is a very nice bar and very cosy and the food on the menu looks great. The chef was friendly when he came out to put the menus out. Hoopers bar is quite traditional and local footie players were having a drink in there. The Victoria nice as ever and the burger with onions was fab IMO. Two of my p!ss-artist buddies did not rate the chips though, didn't stop them from woofing them all down though. The Mont- great last stop, friendly and cosy too then it was the walk back to ED.

I think you should show a bit more respect for Laddy Muck, karter.

You have PTSD...? so do I after than night and I didnt drink any of the vile stuff. ;-)

Knowing me, it'll only encourage me to pole dance on my crutch........nooooooooooooo - don't even picture that......

And Dita - you may not have drunk any Sambucca but at least I wasn't acting out my bedroom seduction techniques in the middle of The Actress on a Friday Night! Killer wine that was eh ;-)

Hear that karter? Respect for...erm...Laddy:-S Muck!!!!

Tongue fully recovered today.

Oh and as for Dita's...ahem...(*coughs*)...dance...well, that was an artistic feat the like of which my eyes had never seen before...I feel quite, quite privileged. Nearly coughed my own lungs up with laughter! The lady is blessed with enormous talent - of that there can be no doubt.

As for you pole-dancing on your crutch, Queenie - that I've got to see LOL!

Cutting edge now, mate.

Real ale and cider.

Those of us who never stopped drinking it suddenly find ourselves at the front of fashion :))

There is currently a real ale festival up at Hoopers that's been running for nearly two weeks. Finishes on the 31st. Cheers!
