Brendan Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 In the interest of fairness I feel I am going to have to try to put aside my bias towards the CPT and actually go to every pub in East Dulwich and make a judgment on this. The test will be to engage the bar staff in conversation and after a few pints enquire about the meaning of life. Wherever I get the most satisfactory answer will get my vote.

Ted Max Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 The Harvester probably sports a SE22 postcode? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1712-the-best-bar-in-east-dulwich-2007-award-discussion/page/2/#findComment-47650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Tomasi Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well seeing as The Gowlett Arms is not on the list, although I do agree Mark that you have to draw the line somewhere, The Bishop will obviously get my vote (tu) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1712-the-best-bar-in-east-dulwich-2007-award-discussion/page/2/#findComment-47686 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolo Tomasi Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yes really! I've always liked setup down there and the staff are great. Foods good, music?s varied and I can always get served quickly. Yes it gets busy on the weekend but that doesn?t bother me as I don?t enter LL on a Friday/Saturday night anyway, at The Gowlett mainly you see (playing pool). I really would like them to win The Best Bar in East Dulwich 2007 award, but honestly, it won?t bother them one bit if they don?t. Me on the other hand, I'll be devastated :)-D Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1712-the-best-bar-in-east-dulwich-2007-award-discussion/page/2/#findComment-47901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domitianus Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 What about the dodgy speak-easy in the kebab shop? It has to win due to its fantastically flexible opening hours.

Ted Max Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Mark. I posted a pub with an SE22 postcode - are you not going to add it to the list? Somebody might want to vote for it.

PeckhamRose Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Not sure if to put this in the fun Consultation topic or start a new one, but here goes.I won an award for my nomination of Clockhouse for its Flowers in Bloom entry.That is to say - Southwark Council have a Flowers in Bloom competition or some such thing and I nominated the Clock house and it won and I won something for my nomination.Yeah - think that's what it was.So I visited Laurence at Clockhouse and told him.He had not actually been told he had won the award.Southwark sent ME, the nominator, his award for his pub.So I hope we can be sure the winner of the best bar will actually be told they've won.Not if Southwark Council have anything to do with it.Sometimes some of these topics do overlap. I'm just about to start one about cycle lanes and more wasted Southwark Council money.....

That said, I like the CPT, which most people think is scruffy so there you go.

barrymarshall Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 A while back it would have been the 72, no contest, but I've recently been frequenting the CPT more and more ... hmmmm ...HST, about half the pubs on the list I haven't been to. You know, the one's down the "wrong" end of LL.Think this weekend there might have to be a bit of sampling done - all for the purposes of research, you understand. :)-D Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1712-the-best-bar-in-east-dulwich-2007-award-discussion/page/2/#findComment-48237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Lush Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Thank you Sean, my sentiments entirely. I'm feeling like I DID go to every bar in East Dulwich last night, such is my hangover and empty pockets today. Lush by name and a lush by nature.
