Beer/pub/drinking/East Dulwich thread - Gowlett

[Green]

couldn't really think of any where to put this so why not start a new thread

went in the Gowlett on Saturday - great beer but my word, if they were looking for a way to replic8 the DSS-waiting room atmosphere of the Rye Lane McDonald's then they more than achieved it

Only ever been there once about 10 years ago.. It was Dire...

Have walked past it a few times recently during the day.

Always looks deserted.

Still gets some good reviews.

But.. Too far to go in the evening..

Fox..

The Gowlett is a good pub.

I have always had a good experience there.

Good atmosphere, good beer and great pizza.

Nothing overly flash, but it does what it says on the tin.

Not too far to walk for me..

Lover..

10 years ago it was still a Millwall pub, it's changed hands since then!

What's wrong with that.

The Fox is a Millwall Season Ticket holder..

Fox.

[RosieH]

Awesome pub. Great staff, good wine (don't know about the beer), delicious pizzas.

My favourite in the area by a mile.

[????]

I think it retains some authencity without being old fashioned and I like it but the music is sometimes above having a conversation level and it's too far away for me. TGE is my best local.

[tfm33]

There is nothing wrong with being a Millwall season ticket holder.

There is something distinctly wrong with referring to oneself in the third person.

Are the pizzas still tasty?

[the-e-dealer]

I've heard nothing bad about them.

[Rolo Tomasi]

What RosieH said.

[Mick Mac]

What lanelover said... A good pub.

Most pubs are suffering a bit in the current downturn, so wont always be busy I'm afraid, hence the atmosphere may be a bit lacking in all pubs from time to time. Hardly worth a thread on its own.

[Dopamine1979]

It's the only local boozer I'm aware of that has a pool table.

Good pizzas when I last went.

Had an 'old man' vibe when I popped in on a Sunday recently though.

Maybe tell us your ideal pub in the area ?

I personally like the Gowlett, it's nicely rough around the edges but not dodgy.

Maybe you prefer something a little more polished.

[Otta]

For the most part, what Rosie said.

However, I have been there on occasions when certain punters were acting in a manner which could be described as a bit intimmidating.

[Jah Lush]

I like in there and I remember it when it was a real shithole. Full of thugs. In fact an old friend of mine ran it for a while back in those days. It was fecking horrible then. It's got a fine selection of ales, great pizza, a pool table, friendly bar staff and the music is often very good. Do they still do Lucky Sevens on Thursday nights?

[Atticus]

tfm33, Atticus couldn't agree more.

Generally, pubs with pool tables attract a more raucous crowd, especially of a weekend.

DulwichFox is not my real name, So I am not referring to Myself in the Third person.

DulwichFox is a Pseudonym of mine. and the Fox like me is a Millwall Season Ticket Holder. ;)

Fox. (Not actually a Real Fox)

I was about to ask the same question!

I even borrowed some of my sister's old 45s, but then I never went back. The only time I did it, some f-er played one of the ones I'd taken down, and I didn't have anything else with me, so I had to play it again :( My Girl, Otis Redding, I think it was :))

[KidKruger]

I like it there for beers pizza pool, been challenged there though on 2x different occasions.

Once by some big, grey-haired wine-drinking tit who couldn't back it up.

Another by some chav shaven-headed tradesman - that time I got a cab home sharpish !

Still go though, pizza too good to avoid.

[RosieH]

Yep, Lucky 7s very much alive and kicking. And Sue, my tip is always to take along a couple of spares for just such a happening. In fact I usually take a few, in case the mood of the night feels different from what I'd planned to play.

And Otta, really, in the Gowlett? I remember a Saturday in the CPT when my companion was threatened by a coked up wanker who claimed to have a knife for erroneously identifying the football hat on his child's head.
