That's one of the problems with such establishments... the feeling amongst some patrons that others are not welcome.


As for "gay" being cool... give me a break!

I've been doing the email version of biting my tongue until I saw this email


Cassius, I would be delighted to meet you at the Vauxhall Tavern any Saturday night - there may be some men in there who are drinking, watching the cabaret, dancing and possibly kissing - and that's about it


Provided you pay the fiver on the door you would be made very welcome


And in case you're worried, if you need to go to the loo there will be other guys in there peeing and then washing their hands - I appreciate that the latter of these two activities is rarely seen in the gents in a 'normal' pub - so don't be too alarmed

As a gay real ale drinker I'm sooooooo glad we've got inclusivity in all the ED pubs/bars. It's good to know that a big shiny poof can get a decent pint locally - which is one thing the 'scene' certainly doesn't allow for:)


I'm not sure any local bar/pub would want to be labelled exclusively gay - could be its death knell - but if anyone other guys out there fancy meeting up to colonise a local hostelry and terrorise any cute barmen, let me know!

Yeah, ED reminds me of Tufnell Park, both are graced by a large number of gay people and so by their sheer number,

the pubs etc are well mixed :)) funny to see geezers goosing each other at the local supermarkets!


There are a few gay bars in Soho that are open to breeders which I prefer to meet gay mates as in town you still find a lot of bigotry. Bar-code can also be fun for the curious!


The one thing that gets me about gay bars is, that with few exceptions, I come out of them with the feeling that I look like an un-groomed Neanderthal compared to the average customer :(

LOL - Yeah know that feeling too... but that is because I am a breeding slob :'(


I know that the Rye does a 'Ladies night' which is next scheduled for the 31st October, I wonder if it is worth asking the Manager (Eva) if they are also doing a "Gentlemans Night" as well... I am sure if they aren't that they can be persuaded to do one.


(note : if this has already been discused then apologies, I haven't bothered to read all the thread)

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
