Sonners Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 My husband and I were chatting to one of the bar staff in the Mag last night and apparently it is being turned into a wine bar (*shudders*).Although the pizzas are to be kept, which is one plus.

Sonners Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Well we asked when the Mag was shutting and the guy said effectively this weekend. Not sure which day that means but I have now sadly had my last pint in the Mag. :'(Guess I will be moving onto the CPT...

timtim Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I'm with Kels on this.. Would love something akin to the Palmerston or Franklins in place of the Mag.

Jeremy Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I'm not a huge fan of the current incarnation of the Mag... but it does seem strange that you say you'd like it to be similar to the Palmerston or Franklins, when those two places are just a couple of minutes walk down the road. I'd rather have a place which offered something a bit different.

Keef Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Exactly what Jeremy said!!!Whether or not we all want the same things, it takes 10 minutes to walk from the mag to goose green, and in that space, you have 2 cocktail bars, with a third to open soon, 2 posh foody type pubs, 2 busy pubs (Bish & EDT), so whynot something slightly different.

mattham Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I like the old sign though...quite arts and crafts. The problem with pub makeovers is they invariably chuck the good stuff out along with the bad.

Fizzy Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 My sources tell me that they are keeping the pizzas on, developing more of a restaurant and that the sunday quiz may be moved to the Herne.

Pierre Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Again, I'm with Jeremy and Keef, although I must admit I didn't go in there before the yello incarnation. I've mainly been there for the Sunday evening quizzes, which were always for me the most enjoyable (although the most rowdy) quizzes in the area.Maybe a re-fit might be a good time to fit some decent sound-absorbing stuff and try and make it a bit quieter for the residents without removing the personality of the place. Maybe.: P Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3608-magdala-changing-ownership/page/3/#findComment-116827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Er, I meant "yellow", obviously. I doubt the pub's renovation had little to do with the 80s/90s synth band...: P Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3608-magdala-changing-ownership/page/3/#findComment-116828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDOldie Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 rumour roamer, just overheard, in a pub no less, Grace & Favour from NCR have bought the Mag. Can this be true or am I being gullible again? Probably the latter. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3608-magdala-changing-ownership/page/3/#findComment-117184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Think you might be right. G and F woman joining up with woman who runs Le Chandelier. Apparently they want to make it girly! Would rather have the Mag circa 1970 back.

Bellenden Belle Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Mmmmm, surely the owners of Le Chandelier would be better off sorting out their current venture before launching into something new? (judging by many comments read on here and my own less-than-fantastic experience.)I dread to think what the offering will be - for girly I'm afraid I read snotty. This comment is no reflection on Grace and Favour. But surely somewhere that large really needs solid experience and a strong track record to succeed... particularly in the current climate?albert Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Think you might be right.
