From what I know, Bohemian initially referred to something/one from Bohemia which was in Eastern Europe somewhere. At some stage in history a large amount of Bohemian people (for some or other reason I?m not sure of) became gypsies of sorts. They spread into France where the term Bohemian became used to describe someone who lived an alternative lifestyle.

So maybe it is a bar for East Dulwich?s Eastern European community.

wikipedia says this about it:

"Bohemians are the people of Bohemia, in the Czech Republic, inhabitants of the former Kingdom of Bohemia, located in the modern day Czech Republic. The ancient Kingdom of Bohemia was absorbed into the Habsburg Empire after 1527 and came under the control of Vienna.

The name "Bohemia" derives from the Latin term for the Celtic tribe inhabiting that area, the Boii, who were called Boiohaemum in the early Middle Ages. The word "Bohemians" was never used by the local Czech (Slavic) population. In Czech, the region since the early Middle Ages has been called only ?echy ("Bohemia") or Kr?lovstv? ?esk? ("Kingdom of Bohemia"), and its mainly Czech-speaking inhabitants were called ?echov? (in modern Czech ?e?i)."

Why is :Black cherry/Bishop/EDT/Liquirish = good, Boho Bar = bad : then ?

Thye are all there to extract your money and as a side effect, leave their physical and human shit to blow aimlessly around the streets

It will be a shit bar, I have no doubt, but no shitter that the rest of them

Cocktails are a w@nker magnet and those w@nkers will travel from far and wide to sample their wares

Because so-called 'young people' will drink there, with their haircuts, and their jeans, and their devil-may-care attitudes.

As far as I can tell they are bringing the area down.

Keep up Snorky.

Young people who may or may not hail from a Medieval European kingdom.

The previous thread on this bar (and yes there is always a previous thread) referred to it as

The HoBo bar

[ladida]

I wonder if they'll have cribbage and bridge evenings!

[SeanMacGabhann]

if I read that line one more freakin time...

[Brendan]

They are all there to extract your money.

*Spelt correctly this time*

[brum]

mmmm.... cocktails.... Margeritas....lovely. I'd rather be drinking those than wasting my money in an arcade. Name's odd though - sounds too much like that singer from U2 - Bozo.

Pfft

[Brendan]

Let?s not get unnecessarily Bohophobic. Or hobophobic for that matter.

Bonophobia is however acceptable.

[Mick Mac]

Bonophobia is where its at.

As long as this new bar is better than adventure (the worst bar in ED) it will improve the ED drinking options (like I need more drinking options).

[Ted Max]

Oi, Perdita, an absinthe for Lady Huntingdon and her lady companion, if you please.

[Brendan]

Tumbler ok? The Count broke the last of the crystal absinthe glasses doing gin and liquorice water slammers last night.

[aicardo]

Christ snorky, that's a remarkably upbeat tone.

Your social life must be intense?

[Ted Max]

Did she? Please don't call her that I find it upsetting. Oh... the Count. My mistake.

[Brendan]

No,no mistake expect my spelling.

[charliecharlie]

Cribbage jke... now there's a game!

what's with the eagle though?

[HonaloochieB]

Now this is only what I was told by a poetry declaiming tatterdemalion at a Brixton shebeen the other night.

And bear in mind we'd been drinking absinthe shandies and had both smoked our share of tea.

But he said he had it on good authority that Tom Waits was coming over to cut the ribbon to the bar on the official opening evening.

And he's going to use the rusty scissors that's all that he's got to remind him of a former seamstress girlfriend.

The rust is from all the nights he spent crying over them in that motel.

I can't wait, me.

I heard it's going to be a Bob Hoskins theme pub.
