I got asked to remove my hat (wool beenie thing where you can still see your entire face) by the bouncer the other day going into the Bishop on a freezing night. To add insult to injury they point blank refused to put the rear heaters on despite it being bloody cold outside and them having an excellent heater setup. What's the point having it???? The place was rammed, its not like you weren't making enough money to keep those who'd rather sit outside to drink and smoke warm - if anything we're likely to stay longer and drink more. *** RAGE ***

Mr Simon what are "twonks"? And who are you to say (from a cool point of view) what people should or shouldn?t wear. I agree with Mr Huguenot about the importance of people taking responsibility.


The bar does have the right to ban hoods for security reasons. Mr Simon I think baseball caps/hoods etc look silly too but you do not have the right to ?deal? with it. Whay do you care so much? Are you really cool? If so post a picture and we can all vote.


Mr Hillside why was your pal wearing a hood up? Are you in your twenties? Do you genuinely like hiphop? Also I think you should post a picture. You and your pal may actually look like utter knobs and its better to hear it now from EDF friends than from your kids when they are older.


Also ?two fairly respectable looking Dads? were your children with you? If not why mention that you were dads. Did you tell the barman? Did he care?


Mr seanmlow you are correct it is awful!

Meh. Who cares about people?s fashion sense that?s up to them? Just have some self respect and proper manners and don?t wear hats indoors.


And while you?re at it stop pushing in front of ladies to get on the bus, learn how to use the contents of your toolbox and for God?s sake stop wearing pink!

Oh come on just how uncool would that be?! trust me the world is not yet ready...

Discussion on use of the term pikey

Blimey. Objecting to him having it up I can understand but just wearing a hoodie. A bit above themselves methinks.


Thanks though hillside. I now know for the next time people insist that we go to that stupid bar, I will just wear a hoodie without a t-shirt under it. I will then be refused entry and we can go somewhere decent.

If (i) they made great cocktails or (ii) it had atmosphere then it would have a purpose. The barman admitted to me that they "don't proclaim to make the best cocktails in London" but rather want to create "a fun place with fun drinks and fun tunes". Think Tenerife Uncovered. But in East Dulwich.

There's definitely a market for a 'clubby bar' around here though, not to my taste really but if you're not into 'proper boozers' then I guess it serves a purpose.


I've cycled past another Adventure Bar in somewhere like Battersea, I guess it's a small chain.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
