Louisa Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Exactly. Inside 72 a great example. Would do rather well now I'd guess. Something similar going on in Blenheim Grove with Bar Story - that could still be achieved up here. Louisa.

StraferJack Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think a few people feel that the Draft House problem isn?t the concept but interior/building limitations (and maybe pricing to an extent, although cheap ale is also available) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34880-drafthouse-pub-lordship-lane/page/4/#findComment-669017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisa Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 If its building limitations only then maybe it work better if it relocated to a larger space? The Mag for example. Louisa.

DaveR Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 How many beers do they usually have on draft in the Draft House these days? A couple of times I went and there was only one, which seemed to undermine the purpose (and name) of the place.

Kingy Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 'Hoopers closed for good on Xmas Day and it certainly wasn't spit and sawdust. It was a very nice pub with a great selection of ales and a fairly good selection of wine. There was good music there and the comedy nights were fun. Damn that neighbour. I miss it.'but the knob running it was a damn fool Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34880-drafthouse-pub-lordship-lane/page/4/#findComment-676096 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otta Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 1. What Quids said on page 1.2. Didn't matter what Hoopers tried, wrong location. In my opinion, the days of the back street boozer are dead and will probably never return. There is the odd one left that has the after work regulars, but they are rare. People just don't pop to the pub to socialise anymore. It's sad, as they used to be a hub of society. Even a mere ten years ago in summer 2003 I made a load of good friends (to this day) via the pub. I can't imagine that really happening now.

Louisa Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'd quite like something along the lines of Hart's Boatyard or The Albany both in SW London, some of you may be familiar? I think that format would work exceptionally well around here, in other words a mix of the traditional and the contemporary, the expensive and the more affordable. ED is much further along those lines, although dont get me wrong, I do genuinely hope things continue to improve for these guys as its a bold venture and its tough times, I think we all take our hats off to them and wish them well at the Draft House.

cle Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I agree with this. But Stormbird has great premises - an old pub, big windows which open and a yard people can stand around in.Also Stormbird has a cracking landlady and more interesting beers - especially on draught but also the new hipster craze of 'craft cans' which are popular.The Draft House's selection = Sierra Nevada, bit of Meantime, Camden etc - hardly groundbreaking these days.jrpfinch Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Louisa Wrote:> --------------------------------------------------> -----> > John variety comes in all shapes and sizes.> > Unfortunately, the demographic homework> obviously> > wasn't done on this occasion.

Kingy Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 OK Sue - you asked for it - Jamie Hooper booked the band in December 2011 and he wanted Miller to play with the band and a fee was agreed - after the band had played, and the 'jug' was passed round, Jamie Hooper asked how much was in the jug and then deducted it off the 'agreed fee', which ad now suddenly been reduced by ?50 - he then proceeded to tell me that the 'agreed fee' was not the 'agreed fee' (I know how much I pay for Miller to come up from Brighton to play these gigs) - if that doesn't make him a knob then I don't know what does, and yes if he had been ten years younger I would probably have 'clumped' him there and then, the man couldn't run a pi55 up in a brewery - hence his pub has now closed, serves the bu55er right if you ask mewith regards to the Draught House - it's alright by me, great german / austrian beers and it's better than paying ?5.20 for a pint of Hoegaarden in the Gowlett Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34880-drafthouse-pub-lordship-lane/page/4/#findComment-676386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The Clock House now feels like the bar of a Holiday Inn.As for Hoopers... a deal is a deal, but I really doubt this is the best place for such disputes...
