Hi everyone! We are back in business!

To start with we will be open at weekends.

Friday from 5pm, Saturday from 12 and Sunday from 12!


Weve got 8 keg lines and 3 cask lines, along with a selection of wines, spirits and soft drinks. Were also doing HUGE hot dogs this weekend with a variety of toppings.


We hope to see you soon!

Here now. Great beers. Maybe 25-30 punters. Varied soundtrack. Loud enough to be heard over the chatter but not loud enough to make chatter difficult. Give it a go. If, like me, you?re local enough for this to be your local, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Whilst it's better than nothing, it's a shame that an expensive craft beer bar is open opposite a big old traditional pub that has closed down because not enough people were using it. I suppose it's a sign of the times, but wouldn't it be awful if places like this were the only place to get a beer!
Just because it was busy on a Sunday, stuffed full of buggies, prams and toddlers called 'Willow' and 'Oscar' being taken out by their parents for a Sunday roast, doesn't mean it was busy enough the rest of the time to justify its existence. If it was making good money it would still be a pub today.

The huge empty space in front of the bar doesn't help. I wonder why the tables seem to be arranged all around the edge.


So far as the pub opposite goes, when it was a Harvester I had the misfortune to have a meal there as a mystery shopper. Two things were so bad they had to be sent back (I can't remember what now, this was years ago) and the rest was pretty dire.

Me and my other half went on Saturday, there was no problem about taking our dog in and the couple/people who were running it were really lovely, offering to make some food for our mutt if he was hungry. The beer/cider was really good and we'll definitely go again. Try not to stick the boot in so quickly, if it's not for you just don;t go back rather than slag the place off on here. Good luck to them and hope they do well with their business.

Not visited yet but I will - Some pubs move tables later in the evening to cater for the drinkers who like to stand and mill around once the eaters go home. Tables and when to move them is a big thing really when you think about it.

My wishlist for the Dulwich Beer Dispensary


* that it stays open. I'll do my bit by going in more often than last time


* post a tap list with your guest beers on it - even if just on social media. I'm more likely to drop in if I know there's a beer I'd like to try. And make the tap list more visible in the bar than it was last time where there were some on a pillar, some on the bar and some on a blackboard behind.


* get a few comfier more seats/armchairs. The tables/chairs feel left over from Barcelona and it feels a bit formal.


* post a flyer through doors within 5 minutes walk. Many of my neighbours didn't realise it was open last time until after it had closed.


In terms of price, craft beer is dearer than mass produced stuff. It takes a lot more hops to make a craft beer than a Carling. There's a lot of craft beer that isn't designed to drink in pints; you drink it in thirds or a half. Means you get to try a lot more too... And the Harvester was a dump for its last decade; it was only worth going to on a sunny day for the beer garden (not for the beer). I'm hoping that the Dispensary stays open long enough this time around to use their outside space.

    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
