Lordship Lane bars about 7 years ago?

[bellenden1]

Inside 72 all the way. Music policy was impeccable. The bar staff were not bad to look at either ! The guy who owned it is now running the show at DKH Sainsburys.

The Drum didn't have a late license, but that was pretty much what made it great ;-)

Apologies if I was one of the people driving residents to despair.

Inside 72 = Pistols at Free Trade Hall.

I remember when the Drum first opened, it was before the smoking ban.

It was unbearable inside, because there was such a lot of smoke in such a small space - well, it was unbearable to an ex-smoker!

Happy days (and nights), clothed (and unclothed!) in inside 72

I loved it until it started falling apart and things got desperate before it finally closed its doors. I'd go in there some days around five or six in the evening and not come out again until ten the next morning. This would often go on for days with sessions carried on elsewhere in between. Towards the end once when Stab & Crime shut at 4am people would from there would sneak round the back of The Drum and get in and carry on there. A proper den of inquity in its day. I'm glad it's closed now though. I don't think my body could take that sort of living anymore.

Loved Inside 72 as well. Especially if you got there early and got a bar stall between the speakers. The staff were great too and helped create a good vibe.

Think lots of bare coarse chipboard. Unfinished concrete floor. Walls with layer upon layer of random posters glued to them. JD/Jager bottles holding red candles. Loud music, ranging from drum & bass to metal. One of those multi-bottle Jager dispensers behind the bar. One single, barely servicable toilet. Chairs and tables rescued from the tip. Not open during the day. No buggies.

If it was transported to Peckham in 2015 it would be rammed.

I miss the old Magdala. I used to hang out there as a 17 year old in 1998. Under ?2 a pint. Barman pouring your drink the moment you walked in the door. Run down, tatty, but it felt like ours. Now it's like every other pub everywhere.

Opening this Autumn :) (hopefully with more than one barely serviceable toilet)

TBH Four Quarters reminds me a bit of Inside 72. But with added arcade games. It has a similar ramshackle dive-bar vibe, and proper music.

And love that it is still subtitled "The Peckham Meat Market"

I had many a good night at The Drum! It was one of those places where you could knock on the shutters after closing and be let in. The music was always good there too. I was quite sad to see that place go.

Yes it was. Me and a mate used spent several sicky days in there around 2004.

I remember the JD Bottles with purple candles dribbling wax down the sides, and a guitar shaped neon light thing at the end of the bar.

And there was one toilet for each gender (although I don't think people tended to use the correct one, just whichever was free).

Are you sure you're not mistaking 6pm for daytime?

I remember it as being open in the daytime.

I'm pretty sure I went there for lunch once.

[Jeremy]

Lunch? Did it even have a kitchen?

My memory is obviously betraying me...

[Otta]

They did things like steak sandwiches (with WAY too much red onion).

[????]

I went there for lunch a couple of times (steak sandwich!)and I didn't visit SE22 much then so confirmed open at lunch

[Jeremy]

OK OK, I get it. I retract the "not open during the day" accusation.

The lane needs a new Inside 72

Miss that place.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Ever been to The Railway at Tulse Hill?. Brilliant, and it kinda felt like a large Inside 72 to me. 6 mins on train from ED.
