Mark Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Shortly our local Landlords will be polishing their pumps and telling their staff to be on their best behaviour as it's almost time for the people to vote for the Best Bar in East Dulwich 2007. The Black Cherry won last year and they are still proudly displaying their trophy behind the bar. This year, considering we have a lot more users to the site, there'll be a lot more panache and desire attached to this prestigious award. I'm mentioning it in the Lounge initially as I want to check that I have all the bars in East Dulwich on my list and I know people in here like a drink or two. Please note that as much as I would like to include close-by places such as the Gowlett and the George Canning I'm afraid they are out the area and I have to draw the line somewhere. Here's the list:FranklinsGreen & BlueInside 72 LiquorishThe BishopThe Black CherryThe CastleThe Clock HouseThe Crystal Palace Tavern (CPT)The DrumThe East Dulwich Tavern (EDT)The Forest Hill Tavern (FHT)The HarvesterThe HerneThe PalmerstonThe MagdalaThe PloughThe Vale UplandsAre there any pubs/bars missing? The voting will probably start next week and run for two weeks. Oh, and the reason it's the "best bar" and not the "best pub or bar" is because it's too tight to fit it on the trophy plaque. And all pubs have a bar. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1712-the-best-bar-in-east-dulwich-2007-award-discussion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMacGabhann Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Easy to forget places, I do it all the time... but The Plough has to be a contender doesn't it?Does G&B count as well - draft beer and all that?

Keef Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I was hinking about this, and have a suggestion, although it's probably to much of a pain to sort out.Rather than just having one vote, how about everyone votes for their top 2 or 3, with their number one getting 3 points, number ywo, 2 points, and number three 1 point. Would be interesting to see how that came out in the wash.NOTE: You could do 2 votes, giving 3 and 1 points like in the footy.ANOTHER NOTE: You could just ignore my meddling and stick to the normal vote.

SeanMacGabhann Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 no I like that idea Keef - it helps prevent targetting of just one venue and provides a better overall picture Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1712-the-best-bar-in-east-dulwich-2007-award-discussion/#findComment-47577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Are there criteria against which to rate bars or is it purely personal opinion?

Mark Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 nice suggestion but unfortunately my voting system only allows one vote per person but I'll investigate to see if that option's available some other way.
