get down Hoopers. ?2 a pint on guest ales and is actually the best pub in east dulwich.

the gowlett last year was really odd i thought - really different crowd to the normal crowd. really young - lots of young men - really really loud house music. not one to be scared of house music as go to ibiza most summers, but it was really bad music, inappropriately loud and just honestly rubbish. would not recommend it at all! unless of course you like that kind of thing. could have been a totally different pub to the gowlett. the rye sounds lovely - have heard good things about that from a lot of people - they have fireworks etc. again the EDT go to lots of effort i believe with the theme etc which makes for a good atmosphere. check out what black cherry are doing. lovely bar and owners and they've just extended so it's double if not triple the siz now! also my mate got horribly beaten up outside the vale pub last year..............walking back from the gowlett. he just got started on by some horrible people who had been to the vale and were waiting outside. so perhaps avoid making eye contact with people outside the vale if you're out in ED!
