ED/Peckham Rye pub crawl - advice required!

[KrackersMaracas]

Hello EDF!

The nights are getting warmer and longer, and I'm planning a pub crawl, playing the birthday card to keep "can't we go somewhere central?" to a minimum.

I'm going to start at Goose Green and wind my way up to Rye Lane and the Bussey Building, but thought that there would be no better place than here to check I'd not missed any favourite pubs/bars out!

Current plans are:

The Bishop

The EDT

Heading up to the Flying Pig

Then on to the Gowlett

(Skipping the Victoria and Prince Albert through fear of blood poisoning)

Up Blenheim Grove to Bar Story/Peckham Springs/Brick Brewery

Aaannd as Franks isn't open for another month, popping up to the roof of the Bussey Building (if it isn't raining)so the tourists can enjoy the view.

If I've missed an unmissable, your thoughts would be welcome!

Cheers!

Looks good. An alternative route might be Gowlett/Montpelier/Four Quarters/Bussey..

I'd sub The Flying Pig and replace with The Montpellier after The Gowlett.

[KrackersMaracas]

I had completely forgotten about the Montpellier and really do prefer it to the FP. I didn't even know the four quarters existed (I think it's disguised a bit too well, I'd always thought it was a weird casino) but what a great place for a regroup!

I love pedlar as well but think they may not take too kindly to us piling in en masse and demanding a quick round of peckham martinis at the bar...

What about a beer in the Peckham Liberal Club ?

Places like that won't be around for long, think Phoenix Nights.

[Nigello]

Depending on the date of your crawl, don't forget the new arrivals: The Hope (3, Melon Road - opening 7/5, according to its website) and John the Unicorn (157-9 Rye Lane, opening "end of spring" we are told).

[Jah Lush]

Try not to be sick.

[KrackersMaracas]

Jah- this is my biggest concern.

Nigello - the hope might be a bit out of the way but I am crossing my fingers that john the unicorn will be ready. This unfortunately won't help aforementioned biggest concern.

I've never been to the peckham liberal club but have always wondered about what lies within!

EDT

Gowlett

Canavans

Sorted!

[Jeremy]

Went on a stag related pub crawl a few months ago. The plan was to take in ten pubs, so I went for a half in each, carefully pacing myself so I'd still be sober enough for whatever club we ended up in. But no... 11:30pm and everyone went home. So that was that.

[keekybreeks]

lightweights.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Always find pub crawls if over ambitious a bit of chore*. Just as I get settled, fancy another pint the cry goes up, " We are moving on" By pub 3 a breakaway group has formed and we all meet up at the last boozer on list. 3 or 4 pubs Max for me these days, with a couple of hours in one over lunch. Sorted.

Enjoy your Birthday pub crawl wherever you go KM.

*see also fancy dress parties.

[Jeremy]

TBH I'd probably miss out the Bishop too... prefer the bars round Peckham these days.

I'd just stay in the Gowlett but I appreciate that's not the advice you were looking for!

[Dopamine1979]

I have nothing helpful to contribute other than you lucky bugger!

[Sazzle30]

The nines is at the back of the bussey and does good cocktails and the 4 quarters is great

Also the Rye is a good pub if Pedler won't let you in

[Jeremy]

Nag's Head?

[titch juicy]

Deffo avoid the Bishop. I'd probably cut out the Gowlett and Montpellier too- or end in them. After the Flying Pig go to Four Quarters (lots of fun, good music and good beer) then on to Rye Wax (basement of Bussey Building- cocktail happy hour is 6-8 I think) then Brick Brewery/Bar Storey & Peckham Springs, finish at the Montpellier/Gowlett

Why would you get blood poisoning?

My housemate reconnoitred the re-reopened Prince Albert at the weekend, and now wishes to officially designate it as "our local". Worth a look.

[Jeremy]

I remain to be convinced by the "new" Prince Albert. Pretty poor beer selection. Refurb-by-numbers.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Im thinking of coming through on Saturday* and doing a bit of a crawl...Not sure what I fancy as yet. 3 or 4 pubs heading back toward Peckham Rye...

Im hearing the New Hope has opened so may sniff that out.

*meeting an old school friend on Friday which may put paid to that though.
