Crown and Greyhound NY Eve - ticketed?

[Robert Poste's Child]

Does anyone know if it's normal entry to the pub or are they doing tickets? Can't see anything on their website.

[Mick Mac]

Have no idea, But the thought of that pub being able to charge people to get in would be a shock to me.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Everywhere seems to charge on NYE now unfortunately.

[JohnL]

Pretty sure as it's only scheduled to 1:00 AM it won't be tickets

Others I see with no tickets (there will be more)

Old Nunshead

Cherry tree

Actress

Plough

No Way is it charging (although no proof)

Great Exhibition is sold out (as last year) - It's fancy Dress though and some people love that :)

Bishop ticketed

EDT - Free Entry

[JohnL]

DJ from 8PM - free entry.

[Robert Poste's Child]

That's a possibility then. The only real attractions the Crown & Greyhound has for me are a short walk home and surprisingly excellent chips.

[tiddles]

Herne tavern is free entry and have something going on

I suppose some people might buy tickets to experience the 'slowest bar service in the world'....

And tonight "it takes years to get served in here" could actually be true.

LOL 😊

Went to house of tippler earlier

?5 entry

Good music

Waste of time

Never again!

This is me going out after a good few years.... Thought it'd be a good night out..... Hell no

[JohnL]

I tried the Nuns Head and it was fine even though I didn't normally like NYE much - helps that you could drink outside - didn't go out until 10:30 PM and still seem hung over.

What was the problem with House of Tippler? why a waste of time? Just curious, but dont particularly like the place.

It's always a good idea to keep a list of the free entry pubs on NYE just in case it doesn't work out for one reason or another. ?5 is actually just the price of a pint - but that's not my issue with tickets.

[sweetgirl]

Probably no more than about 40 people in there,

Absolutely no effort made by the bar as it was a "special" NYE night.....

To be honest it seems like the lane has gone quite downhill for nights out

I used to go nearly every weekend about 10 yrs ago, the vibe has completely changed!

I generally pass through the lane on weekends & find it nowhere near to how busy it used to be!

I have to say liquorice was my favourite place back then!

To be honest, without going into details I went out by accident.

It's been at least 8yrs since I celebrated NYE away from my home.

I guess I just expected a bit more excitement! Lol

The fiver weren't too bad to pay, but not for a dead night!

I went there about 11.30pm, by 12.30 am I was back home!

I can't see that happening again in a hurry, next year I'll probably snuggle up to my duvet!

Peckham's emergence has hit the LL bar scene quite hard I think. People under approx 40 go out there from ED.

LL is decent for eating, but not much has chnaged on the bar scene for quite some time.

[sweetgirl]

I think you could be right about that!

When I was telling my friend about my night she suggested I should've gone to prince of Peckham....

Saying that I'm definitely over 40 but my mind tells me I'm still in my 20's! 😎😜

Lordship Lane was sort of a mini destination a few years ago, and it was pretty buzzy on a Friday and Saturday night... but not really these days. Partly because Peckham has so much more going on, but also I reckon because of the nature of people who tend to move to ED. People in their 40s with kids. Not many carefree 20/30 somethings.

I'm guessing that was written by someone who's never been to the West Norwood Picturehouse. In an organisation with a proud tradition of slow and poor service, they stand out as lowering the standard.
