What kind of place do you prefer? Noisy with music or at a level to chat? Crowded place or more spacious and chilled out? Somewhere that does food - meals or nibbles - or do you just want to drink? Would you rather somewhere with a decent wine list, a decent cocktail list or a decent range of beers?
I really like the bishop, LOVE THE RYE, EDT but not when its packed.. Have always wanted to go in to the palmerston but it just hasnt worked.. If you are watching your pennies then avoid adventure bar but on the right night it can be a funky scene.. Oh and the pheonix at denmark hill is the nuts!!
The Lodge above the EDT is a great bar and restaurant and you dont have to be a member either any more to go up there. You can go for a few quite drinks and chill out in the red room with some cool music or eat in the restaurant. Great food

The Rye is great, quirky feel to it and friendly management and staff. Even better in Summer.


Black Cherry is becoming my favourite bar on the Lane, good vibe, good service, great cocktails and you can hear yourself think. EDT is good for an afternoon chill out and has good music on a sunday evening, gets rather noisy on Fri and Sat evenings; but they do have some great DJs.


Adventure Bar pulls in a younger crowd and is pricey BUT they do half price cocktails until 8.


The Bishop is something of a pulling palace of an evening BUT does great Sunday lunches although the service can be a bit patchy.


Hoopers is our nearest bierodrome with good tap ale and bottled European beers and ales.


The Gowlett - does the best pizzas.

Blimey, I must lower the tone when I'm in there then, which is quite frequently :))

I'd rather be shackled in rags, being fed saucepanfuls of my own boiling blood by a masked torturer than sit in the company of other couples on Valentine's Day.

Yeah! I couldn't agree more Honk. Absolutely vile. I'm hoping most of the pubs stay Valentine's Day free and leave it to the restaurants to go all smaltzy on us.

It's looking increasingly likely that I shall lock myself away on Valentines night with two or three bottles of claret, a couple of spliffs, an Indian takeaway and Match Of The Day.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
