Inside 72 - selling up

[Brendan]

Work shmirk. Tell then you object on religious grounds. It is St George?s day after all. Or so I hear.

[Azul]

might stop for a quick on today, but I'll be there tomorrow saying goodbye and peeling off my new walls

Hi guys

I am the owner/manager of the bar taking over Inside 72. My name's Toby and will be working alongside my colleague Tom. As you already seem to have heard of us, let me introduce us to you properly. Our bars are called Adventure Bar & Lounge. We strive to ensure everybody who visits enjoys themselves in unpretentious comfortable surroundings with good quality music playing in the background. Cocktails are our speciality. We have 60 cocktails in our menu and our bartenders can make another 20-50 if needed. The bartenders are knowledgable, professional and extremely friendly. We will go to great lengths to ensure you enjoy yourselves. We play a whole variety of music covering Soul, Motown, Disco, Dance, Indie and Rock spanning 5 decades.

I am writing here to allow any of you to ask any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting you in the near future.

How much is the EDF discount?

[Azul]

are you keeping the staff and the walls ?

and the blue Chimays ?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Toby - thanks for coming on and introducing yourself

it MIGHT be more politic to start another thread about the new bar what with this one being full of people all down in the dumps about an old favourite?? Not your fault or anything I know - and I will of course be along to check out the new place

[KalamityKel]

I guess the most important q many forumites will b wanting to ask is when you're "re-opening" under the new establishment.

No doubt this will be covered on the new thread.

Sean if you happen to see a tipsy Kel walking past 72 a bit later would you mind terribly turning her round and pointing her in the right direction of home? Would be much appreciated :))

[SeanMacGabhann]

what, even if you "change your mind" later?

[Mark]

Toby wrote to the Forum and asked if was ok to post a message about the Adventure bar (good touch, I know the Administrator always appreciates politeness). He asked about starting a new thread or adding to this one and I suggested the latter, probably best to start a new one closer the time when he can tell us more about what's going to happen. In the meantime he can reassure the regulars that it's not going to be a Wetherspoons or similar and answer any questions.

Will you be doing 2 for the price of 1 curries on a Thursday night and Pensioner specials before 6.30pm?

[SeanMacGabhann]

* doffs cap in deference * ;-)

Toby - as Mark says, contacting the administrator was a nice touch. And I'll still be in to see the new gaff. A question about the new place - are there any plans to expand the space?

But I'll still miss 72..... :(

And the people who sailed in her

And some of the staff

[KalamityKel]

Sean if Kel is swaying or squiNting it would definately b advisable to turn her round ;-)

Good stuff Toby :))

[KalamityKel]

and of course I meant SQUINTING!!!! *staggers off to westminster for more alcohol*

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Golly Kel, I thought you were Chav Mark II for a moment!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Same thought crossed my mind. Of course statistically there are several women on here apart from chav who also. . . .

[TillieTrotter]

Really.....tell us more/who/where??

[leastdullwish]

I don't like cocktail bars and I think that if I drank 80-110 mixologists I'd probably be dead. You can't buy my soul.

[karter]

Welcome to the forum leastdullwish.:)

[leastdullwish]

Thank you :-)

[AllyCat]

Ooh fabulous - another cocktail bar, I'll certainly along to sample the delights!

[Brendan]

So where am I going to drink now when only a dark dingy rock bar will do? Am I going to have to leave the borders of East Dulwich?

[Keef]

Innit!

Best wishes to the new place and all that, but Lordship Lane isn't a very long "strip", and it already has 2 cocktail places. I liked having something different. Anyway, you will no doubt do a good trade in ED.

[Brendan]

Can we paint the CPT black and put some old guitars up on the walls? It already has the smelly toilets.

[Keef]

That would be so cool!!!
