A dark day - The CPT (Lounged)

[Jah Lush]

They'd better make it quick herrd as the CPT shuts next Monday for a month.

[DulwichFox]

Thread seems to of Morphed from one about The CPT to one about Hoopers...

When it comes to people bothering to complain about noise then the number is likely to small

as only a handfull of houses can ever be directly opposite a pub.

Houses 100-200+ Metres away not going to be affected by noise from the place.

To question why someone should buy a house near a pub is ridiculous.

Place probably closed at 11.00 when they bought it.

Should question why someone would take on a pub in a residential area if they intend

to apply for late licence.

Pubs that have requested extended hours should respect their neighbours.

Fox..

More worrying news, the bar-that-used-to-be-Liquorish has a sign up saying it is "opening late February"! Supppose we should be glad it's only for the one month but still... so brazen!

[annabel42]

Agree completely with Fox.Leaving aside the Hoopers issue, on which I have no knowledge so can't comment, everyone is entitled to an undisturbed night's sleep.

[KidKruger]

Fair point foxy, I live opposite CPT and bought it knowing it may be rowdy around and after 11 as everyone goes home.

When it was a busy popular pub now and again i may get disturbed but in full knowledge that it'll end soon.

If they extended to 2am or something I'd be pretty pissed off and would propose against it of given the opportunity.

You could re-register leaving out one or both of the spaces: CrystalPalaceTavern or CrystalPalace Tavern or Crystal PalaceTavern - whichever you feel looks better.

The only rowdiness I can remember around the CPT was when the coke snorting elvis who lived opposite, who used to open his windows, strut around naked and play psychobilly music at full blast before seemingly passing out.

Surreally entertaining.

Thankfully those flats have been done up and he is no more.

[KidKruger]

My God El Pibe, do you remember that guy ???!!

Was he a coke head ? He'd leave the house at 3am with a little dog and a huge ghetto blaster and set-off down towards Goose Green. I wonder what happened to him.

CPT used to get slightly noisy sometimes, mainly summers when either everyone was outside or the doors were wedged open and some DJ was on. I did stroll over once at 01.15 and tell them to park it.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Not long left the CPT, not busy, nice chat, old memories for me not being a local. ASBO ***** made me very welcome to East Dulwich 8 years ago.

How disappointing.

For a moment I thought you meant KidKruger :))

Naked coke man,circa 2003/04. Classic!

[Earl Aelfheah]

Please don't rip out the bar, or any of the original features... That is all.

[James]

Gotta be honest, I live locally and on the few occasions I've ventured in I have been totally put off by the 'regulars' - a bunch of rancid, sneering old men. Don't really care how long you've been going to a pub, it doesn't give you the right to behave as if you own it.

I'm looking forward to the refit, it might bring in a new crowd.

[indiepanda]

My other half likes popping in occasionally to watch the football, but that seems to be about the only thing to attract people other than the regulars to the CPT. I lived one block south of there for well over 2 years and I think I might have been in there twice in that time... it would be very hard for the refit not to be an improvement from my perspective.

I'm not a regular, but I go now and again, and that doesn't tally with my experience at all! It's true that it's not full of dressed up 20/30 somethings like the LL bars though.

[granadaland]

Every time I've been in this place have had a few gobshites trying to engage me in some unwelcome and offensive banter.

Rancid beer and rancid punters.

[ibilly99]

Hopefully they'll have pizzas to rival Papa John's as I'm now an addict to the better tasting slice ....

[Sue]

Hopefully they won't have pizzas at all, as the Actress already has a large pizza menu and is only a short walk away from the CPT .....

[Jah Lush]

I believe they'll be doing a tapas style menu along with the usual roasts on a Sunday. I've asked them to do fish pie and got a thumbs up for that.

[Chippy Minton]

Not just the bar gone now. Walked past earlier and it's pretty gutted. I doubt anything original will be left.
