James Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Last time I visited the Dog it was like being transported to a chavvy, slightly tatty Bromley megapub in the early 90s. Not good. Aboput time this place got something deserving of its prominent location.

londoner_77 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 This sounds great. Dulwich Village is woefully (and surprisingly!) lacking in decent places to have a drink or meal!

DulwichFox Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Used to be a Bikers Pub in the 70's.. At one time there was a small middle bar for men. No women allowed. Foxy.

And, knowing the Dulwich Estate it will probably be a resounding "No." That's my take on it.

londoner_77 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 As you say, it's "fine" but not "great". I wouldn't go out of my way to visit it. Dulwich Village could do with some more destination restaurants and pubs IMO - and this sounds like it could be just the ticket.Sue Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> londoner_77 Wrote:> --------------------------------------------------> -----> > This sounds great.

Cassius Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Used to love the C&G until it got rid of at least half its beer garden. I always loved the idea of it but the reality never quite lived up to the idea.

El Pibe Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 exactly, the little things like copious bird shit on your table, nowhere actually really catching the sun, ten minutes to get your drink despite staff to customer ratio of 1:1 etc etc etcLovely spot in theory though Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/31613-the-crown-and-greyhound-boutique-hotel/#findComment-640937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
