Nights out in East Dulwich

[MadWorld74]

they don't do nice wine!!!!!!!!! i say it once, twice.....

[Keef]

It's a fair point, and probably loses them some custom, and I think the staff would be first to admit it. However, it's out of their control... They do lots of nice shots though ;-) Oh, and Fear, if I'm there, there's a fair chance you'll be with me, lets be honest now... :))

As soon as I see a giant screen in a pub I make a run for it.

Since when did 'proper pubs' start having sport on?! I blame America (for everything)

[Brendan]

I also blame America for everything but that's a completely different matter.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Please - no anti-American rants. Whilst it's completely easy to fall into that trap with the current administration and well publicised surveys about... oooh, anything - there is no denying how much good there is also

To travel there and meet some of the most warm-hearted and intelligent people, and see some of the most amazing scenes (urban and rural) is to open ones mind. If they relied on media reports of Britain (which I'm sure some do) then they would think of us as in equally stereotypical terms

But this administration does stink the place up

I don't mind the odd unjust war, but the rise of the SPORTS BAR is unforgivable.

[TillieTrotter]

Exactly *Bob*, we really need our priorities sorting out!!>:D

Thats got more to do with Sky and the rise of Lad/Ladette culture than the United States though.

[Brendan]

Never mind. Whiling away a Saturday afternoon in the CPT drinking brown beer with a test match on the telly is about as un-American sportsbarish as you can get.

[SeanMacGabhann]

On the subject of "nights out in ED" bars - one of the other reasons I love this place is that the bars, by and large, avoid many of my bugbears - specifically - fruit machines are noteable by their absence

Also those dodgy boards outside that pretend to be chalk boards but all have the same pre-printed font

Corporate promotions are also largely unnoticed (by me anyway)

[*Bob*]

Aw, c'mon..

What can be more relaxing than walking into a pub and bumping into a myriad of dangling Bacardi Breezer placards, twirling in the breeze, like barrage balloons floating over London during WW2?

* edited for hangover *

....and relax....doh.....rum....bad.....

[Renzon]

I have not met one person (myself included) that has travelled to the USA and disliked it....

[Keef]

I love watching the footy in the pub. It doesn't make it like a sports bar, people go there specifically for a match, the match is shown, the match ends, and the screen disappears...

Nothing like a sports bar with 15 screens showing some dodgy motor race from Australia, Kabadi from India, Dodgeball from America, and every other sport you'd never dream of watching....... That said, the film Dodgeball is fab ;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

What Keef said..

about both football in pubs and Dodgeball being fab

Both true

(although a slight preference for Zoolander)

[Keef]

"Son you're about as useful as a cock flavoured lollypop!" Absolute genius ;-)

I had a night out in East Dulwich, The Drum and The Black Cherry where I spotted two forumites. Mr F&B and Mark!!. Those mojitos are powerful and far too easy to drink. I never want to see a sprig of mint again.

[mockney piers]

how strange i bumped into F&B and mark in TBC last night and mojitos were featured. Had they not gone home yet?

[TillieTrotter]

Those Mojitos do funny things to you. Maybe they lost a day!!

[Mark]

I recommend going to the Black Cherry for a night out, they do great Mojitos

[TillieTrotter]

I do apologise Mark for my over familiar behaviour. Treated you like a long lost friend but from my side of my head, it seemed fine at the time. As I say Mojitos do make you a tad weird. Gorgeous girlfriend you have there by the way, the guys in my company were like the exorcist (heads spinning round to get another glimpse) saying who was that, corr, and all that!!

[E-D-Kate]

I had intended to post my thanks yesterday but I just wasn't up to a bright screen and the noise of the keyboard. Now I'm back in the office..

Had a great night out in East Dulwich and the north London pair were delighted to be forced of the train at Peckham Rye where they witnessed a full blown Peckham Rye punch up - bicycle chains an' all! Marvellous!

[Keef]

So where did you end up going?????

Mojitos are cool.... Zombies are cooler :)-D

[Fear 'n boozin]

I went to the tbc? cool.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Glad you had a good night out - it's funny how some people from oop North are so surprised to have a good time when they come down here isn't it?

But Saturday nights out are easy - it's the Sunday nights out you have to watch out for. Ouch..... My head hurts today
