I've just seen a rather cryptic press release announcing that a private members' club called Den Lodge is to be opened in East Dulwich. There's no other info on it, other than the contact details of Antic (www.antic-ltd.com), the company that owns the EDT and a clutch of other pubs.


Anyone heard anything about this? (Given the name, perhaps its target market will be the local population of foxes.)

Blimey, surely this isn't going to be the latest incarnation of upstairs @ edt, following the restaurant closing for the Summer?

Smooth lounge lizard that I am (as well as expert on all things fox)I went to the opening night of the Dex club in Brixton and well nice it is too. Can't find their web site but it's over the Kentucky, opposite the Ritzy and they own the pub next door to said kentucky. Theres a room on the first floor with bar and then above there are some bedrooms (all en suite) and a terrace with a hot tub, and all in the centre of brixton. Will it be similar here? Anyway if they want invite me to the opening night they'll have to get in touch with my agent.
I'm with Groucho Marks on Private Clubs.....I remember when the Funky Monkey in Camberwell got delusions of Granduer andtried something similar upstairs......EDis NOT Notting Hill or Hoxton FFS. Horrible, snotty, elitist, claptrap IMO. I had a phase of going to SohoHouse with a girl...a place stuffed with a load of wanabees with far too much coke....it nearly turned me back to socialism....
As someone on the other thread mentioned, it could well be more of a licensing ruse than some sort of elitist venue (not that I'd mind that you understand,as long as I was invited). A place I used to frequent regularly as a student in Leeds (RIP Hyde Park Social) was a "members club" but in reality this amounted to an annual sub of ?1 and a bit of yellow paper witha your name and number on it. Apparantly it allows for cheaper licenses and therefore cheaper drinks. Worked a treat for me.

    • I had a fantastic experience with Saied. Over two days, they worked hard to remove a large patch of invasive bamboo and tidied up the garden beautifully. They were polite, professional, and very easy to deal with from start to finish. Everything was done efficiently and with great care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them 
    • So you prefer to just complain and moan ad nauseum without ever being able to point to a better path? as a country we are not taxed to the hilt. Not historically in this country or by comparing to other countries.    where are you getting inflation is falling from - it’s been a bit up and down for a while but not really trending downward.  But even if it was, real world prices lag behind - but it’s not universal - so things like rent could continue to spiral     
    • Maybe the Church will move a bit back towards the centre and be less liberal. 
    • It's not who I admire, it's who's best to turn this country around and solve the multitude of problems the population experiences on a daily basis. People's pockets are only so deep and can only afford so much before they eventually have to rely on the State and that costs even more. The Cost of living spiralling, although inflation is apparently falling, right, yeah, NOT. Taxed to the hilt, wages/pensions not rising sufficiently to keep up, resulting in unemployment increasing, businesses not able to afford to keep or take on staff. It's a rollercoaster that is hard if not impossible to stop.
