Annette Curtain Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 In some ways i'm happy to see the building will used properlyBUT in some way I like its almost good/crappyness If that makes sense, just that when these places get "done" they tend go a bit meh, all knowing bar snacks in jars & staff with swipe fobs And "i'll be with you in a minute"Tho i'll probably change my mind as it evolves, then love it/slag it off when it opens.(think thats all the bases covered) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/31613-the-crown-and-greyhound-boutique-hotel/page/2/#findComment-641330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pibe Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It had already become a bit meh though.Character was only bestowed on it through the sheer diligence at effected insouciance of the identikit-hipster sixth form staff. Their training must be awesome as in all my years I never found one who let on they were, in reality, capable of spotting customers, knowing what drink was where, or doing any sort of mental arithmetic.

The place went downhill after Roy Gleason left and the soul was ripped out of the place when they got rid of the booths in the public bar a few years later. I still have a soft spot for the old place as I spent so much time in there with my friends when I was much younger than I am today and so I am still an occasional visitor but usually only when the sun is out and I can sit out front and watch the world go by.

Cassius Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I thought maybe the sixth form bar staff was so that they'd recognise those who were in the Upper Sixth and could be served (almost) legally and those who were from the pesky Lower Fifth and refuse them alcohol - a sort of poacher turned gamekeeper idea.
