Hi, we've agreed to meet in East Dulwich for a date one weekend- meeting late afternoon at the station, are there any places nearby that people would recommend? Obviously I was thinking of a place where there's a good atmosphere but not too loud all the same (no live sports/screaming kids/really loud music, etc, etc)


Any ideas?

any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm not familiar with the area at all.

After declaring an interest because I help run it, how about Green & Blue? I think we have a nice vibe, music but not loud, wine is not too pricey IMO, all seating so easy to chat and no being pushed about at the bar, lots of nice food to nibble. If it is a weekend you will need to book though. We do seem to have more female than male customers so its obviously a hit with the ladies!

If you're after somewhere you can chat, impress with your knowledge of wine, looking for somewhere relaxed with the option to suggest dinner if all's going well, go for Green and Blue.


If you'd rather start with a drink and don't mind raising your voice somewhat, go to the Bishop, to show how 'down with the kids you are'.


Good luck. If all else fails there's a Domino Pizza near the station!

Well you guys have been a lot of help. This poor chap/lady is going on a first date in a strange area and as if those two prospects aren?t daunting enough you have gone and confused matters more by recommending a range of every possible venue in town.


Allow me to add to the confusion. I would recommend the exact opposite to Mick.


If your date is male take him to the Gowlett. It has good beer and good pizza.


If your date is female take her to Green and Blue as chicks seem to dig it there.


Although this could just be me allowing lazy gender stereotypes to guide my judgement on what people will like.

Mine was obviously tongue in cheek Brendan. Amd anyway if it goes well, she should be prepared for the future - Friday nights in the Gowlett eating pizza by the bar, watching her new boyfriend playing pool. Should work a treat. I always think the less time spent talking to each other the better these relationships prosper.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, fortunately I didn't need any exit points and yeah I'm a bloke; and the date went pretty well in the end, we started off at the Black Cherry which had the kind of atmosphere I was looking for. We then moved onto a little authentic Italian restaurant near the station which had a different but cool; mission accomplished,

So now I gotta think about what to do for date number 2!

    • He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days. Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.
    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day.
