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.

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By ianr · Posted

      I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
