Congratulations to the Black Cherry, officially the Best Bar in East Dulwich 2006 as voted by you, the users of the East Dulwich Forum.

Look out for the trophy in The Black Cherry in a week or so after it's been engraved. Hopefully they'll be overwhelmed and will put it pride of place somewhere prominent.

***** News Flash - Friday 2nd November ******

Yesterday, as the voting deadline for the presigious Best Bar in East Dulwich gets closer, people were abusing the website with false registrations and fake votes (which have been removed). We have now had to make the poll open to registered users only to ensure fairness. Register here

*****

OK, so just to explain, you now have to be registered to vote because someone decided to get round the system and add lots of votes to the Vale. These votes were swiftly removed, unfortunately during the 30min removal session this evening no votes would have been counted.

I can understand that bars want to win this prestigious award and will go to any lengths to get their hands on it but please play fair.

Only registered users can vote please click here to register and vote for the best bar in East Dulwich

May the best bar win.

It's Monday, the poll closes at midnight Wednesday.

Have you voted in the award for the Best Bar in East Dulwich 2006?

It's going to be close. The Black Cherry is currently in the lead with 21% with the Bishop (17%), the EDT (13%) and liquorish (13%) closing in. The rest of the field are still in with a chance but they have some catching up to do.

ok, I know, it's two and a half days left, I just thought I would round it down

[Earl Aelfheah]

Mad looking back at this. Black Cherry, Inside 72, the Drum and Liquorish all gone sadly.

[Spartacus]

Sad to think that liquorish went to be replaced by the house of tippler which has also gone (but neither forgotten)

[hensamenities]

Oh my,Inside 72 was the best! Xx

[Rockets]

Very much agree - Inside72 was something else everything a local hostelry should be!

[Earl Aelfheah]

Inside72 was great. The Drum was underrated too in my opinion.

Agreed.

I see the Uplands (now The Actress) got no votes at all! There's a surprise 🤣

[niall]

inside 72 got the small bar thing so right. atmosphere, music, drinks, all perfect.

probably wouldnt work today.

[Sephiroth]

"Black Cherry, Inside 72, the Drum and Liquorish all gone sadly."

of those that remain, only a few are even vaguely like what they were

EDT

Castle

erm.. that's about it

[BillyOcean]

Best pub in East Dulwich today, has to be The Great Exhibition or the Watson General Telegraph.

Yeah agree with this

[holloway]

I moved to ED in 2007, just after this poll. Where was the Drum? EDT was my favourite pub when Ray was manager.

[Sephiroth]

yeah - was a big fan of Ray

Drum was on Northcross road where Monkatsu is now

Not keen on TGE tho

[holloway]

TGE is alright, staff are quite nice which is important. Ray ran a good pub when in charge of the EDT, always a cracking atmosphere when big football games were on. Think he got badly treated when antic took over.

[Sephiroth]

I thought antic already had EDT - might have been the very first Antic pub in fact

But Antic did do some weird "split" to do with structure/money and he could have been a victim of that. Or was that the Lodge era (god help us)

Anyone know where he is these days?

Rumour had it that he left after his version of an incident did not match what was on CCTV.

And the pub was already Antic.
