Adventure Bar

[macroban]

Nice write-up in Southwark News.

[Jah Lush]

That's what you might call an advertorial. Still haven't been in yet as it doesn't really appeal to me. I walked past the other evening and there were a couple girls sipping drinks by the window who look all of 15. Ah! bless 'em, on a school night as well.

[phillyboy]

Me and the misses went in there - had a terrible Margarita and then walked out. The drinks @ Black Cherry are in another league if you ask me.

[DrDom]

The 'bouncer's' won't let you in unless you have shoes on at the weekend too.

I feel that they have the whole 'middle-class or aspiring, clientle' mixed up.

The place is called 'Adventure'. Not much more to say really.

[Brendan]

I my experience places that have any ?class? whatsoever don?t have dress codes.

edited because I out words.

[Huguenot]

Perhaps you're more likely to nick something if you've got athletic shoes on?

[Mikecg]

I went in there for 1 drink and the bouncer saw fit to mention you may wanna take your coat off so I said I may wanna leave it on and went inside had 1 drink and thought death by misadventure bar, what a pile of old dogs crap.

[????]

Sort of agree Brendan...but Blackcherry wouldn't let me in with a flatcap on....

[Brendan]

I went in the Plough on Tuesday and kept my flat cap on. I felt like a proper rebel but kept on expecting my mom to appear from nowhere and clip me around the ear.

[Jah Lush]

Flat caps? Do guys keep ferrets down yer trousers as well. Facking hell!

[Brendan]

That type of thing cost you know. But if you?re interested I know of a place in Soho.

Quite right too. Imagine the pain you'd be in with constant toe stepping!

Alas no steel toe capped shoes either, extremely confusing i can tell you.

Can I just take the opportunity to say again.

As bars go, this place sucks.

Rubbish place. They asked me to take of my cardi that had a hood on it that wasn't even up, the bar staff are over friendly and come over to your table and start conversations and finally everytime I go past there in the week it looks like a youth club! It could have been so much better. Liqourish is still my fav.

[eireman]

The guy in the bar that let you pay good ?cash money? for a beer and then decided to embarrass your friend was out of order and owes you both an apology.

I mean your friend was only wearing a garment that had a hood!

What would happen if you went in there wearing a Duffle coat I wonder. I think I still have one somewhere and I may test the theory.

I tend to agree with this. Wearing trainers can often help you aviod the worst bars.

The only time I'd dress "smartly" to go out is when I'm going to a proper posh restaurant, but that doesn't happen often.

[wondergirl]

It is awful. I went to a Soho bar the other day with my bro who was wearing a tie- get this, he was asked to take his tie off it really pissed me off. He didn't care but I thougth that it was bloody ridiculous.

[*Bob*]

'Ties off' is to keep out the real riff-raff: besuited office monkeys on the lash from 5pm on Friday.

[nbn]

i think i will pop in there with all my friends wearing duffle jackets and ties, just to see if thy turn away a load of business from an older crew ( ie : not under 18's !! )

i agree with alot of the comments on here about adventure bar - initially i thought give them some slack, but having been in about a month ago it was the biggest load of to$$ i have happened to come across. Rubbish fit out done on a real budget with tacky chrome chairs - it does feel more like a tenerife uncovered type of place and the over friendly staff - foock off ! i have come for a chat with my mates not some random twat called Tobias with an offensive haircut.

i wish they would close and reincarnate as something better. Much better !

[Brendan]

Well it used to be somewhere much better but alas they sold up and left ED bereft of the dingy little bar with character and characters. Then the Drum closed followed by the short-lived record shop. Things aren?t what they used to be. Hell in a hand basket I tell you. The whore of Babylon will be riding leviathan over the horizon any day now. So at least something interesting might happen.

[Moos]

It's amazing really - the pasting that bar has had, you'd think it would be a howling desert. But no - packed full, as far as I can tell. So either it's full of non-locals, or all the people that drink here don't read or post on EDF, or (and here's my favourite guess) the people who drink there don't dare say so on here...

[Brendan]

Or, the people that drink there can?t read and/or are too busy gelling their hair, making big knots in their shiny ties or attending school to post on here?

[KalamityKel]

::o ur showing ya age Brendan me dear its all wax, gum, paste and serums these days not GEL! :p

It would be nice is the bouncers could direct those that need to throw up a little closer to the curb rather than near shop doors, walls and cash machines... just a thought mind.
