[Moos]

Get thee to a nunnery

Now, now, PGC, you ought to know better. Look what happened last time someone said that.

It's not that it isn't "gentrified"... it's because it's a bit of a dump.

It is possible to give a pub a lick of paint every 10-20 years (and dare I suggest an occasional clean) without becoming "gentrified"!

Christmas drinks last year were actually a let down in terms of numbers, as so many people had work parties, so could go either way.

I am genuinely going to make an effort to attend as it's christmas and I've been threatening and threatening to for a year :)-D

[SteveT]

Bet you don't!

I would prefer somewhere with more space than the Adventure bar.

Plough for the space

Duke for the food

[Michael Palaeologus]

On reflection, I dont mind. I quite like the idea of Adventure Bar. The smaller space that we had in Hoopers seemed to work. Cheap cocktails early on as well.

Or even the Old Nun's Head. We haven't been there. They have an upstairs room - whether they would let us have it? http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Old_Nun%27s_Head%2C_SE15_3QQ

The space in Hoopers only worked because quite a few people spilt into the main area of the pub.

Yeah but it was still a good night. As far as I can recall.

I wouldn't mind +venture. It's a bit of a negative that they don't do beer (except in a bottle for a million pounds a go) but I will manage for one night.

Ps. I am actually going to come to this one instead of just being all opinionated about the venue and then not rocking up. :-$

[????]

awwwwwwwwww..gawd, I'm not going to a place that doesn't do beer properly..and that confirms all my prejudices about 'that place'...can't it be the Plough? I just like never coming before and then getting on my high hores

The Freudians make note of your original post quids.

They also make note that you did not choose the 'edit' option.

"I just never like coming before and getting on my high hores."

A sentiment that does you credit.

To change the subject, does the title of Oliver Stone's latest mean anything to you?

[Jah Lush]

Adventure Bar? No fecking way. Too small, and no proper beer. I'd settle for the any of the following though...The Dog, the Duke, The Clockhouse, The Plough, Magnolia, The Castle, EDT and CPT. I also really like the sound of doing the Wishing Well as it hasn't been done before even if it is in Peckham, it's a lovely old pub and I also think we should add The Ivy House to the list too.

[david_carnell]

Seconded.

[Moos]

...and the Montpelier?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Thirded

[mockney piers]

Can we stretch the East Dulwich Borders as far as The Market Porter?

[Keef]

LOL! Now that is a pub we may find short of elbow space! Great pub though!

[Brendan]

What about the Dulwich Woodhouse?

[shoshntosh]

is the herne tavern a silly suggestion? what about that extra room they have at the back? or is that TOO secluded?

[mockney piers]

Seriously though, I'd have to say Wishing Well has been my favourite suggestion so far.

Montpellier's nice too, especially if that crazy barmaid is still working there.

How about Bar Story, just to chuck another one in the mix?

Good call.

I've suggested that before, think it was poo pooed

[Jah Lush]

Yeah, we haven't done The Woodhouse either. Good call Brendan.

[Sue]

Wishing Well sounds good, or Clockhouse or Old Nun's Head.

Woodhouse a bit of a trek but I guess not if you live at that end :)

Market Porter more of a day trip :))

A bar that only sells bottle beer? But, but, that means going to the bar twice as much.

Not that's any of my bees wax, as I never come. Though a Christmas drink in early December sounds quite nice. It won't clash with my work's do, as well, frankly we never have a Christmas knees up. I mean, like never, ever.
