Adventure bar - East Dulwich (Lounged when no longer about same)


Recommended Posts

I emailed the company a while back and they said it should be ready come August as they are knocking out the back and extending it.


Won't be a patch on the Inside 72. Lordship Lane could do with a rockier/indie type place instead of another cocktail bar. I think we are quite fine with the Black Cherry and Liquorish. But that's just my two cents


Hope the above was helpful matey

I had a peek through the windows at the weekend - they have really extended out the back - quite apart from the differece in styles, the place is going to feel very different. I'll miss 72 but I'll remain optimistic about Adventure - it's not their fault 72 had to close
Ideally I'd like a cocktail bar that's bigger than the old 72 but still plays decent music like 72 used to. Looked at their website and they say Kaisrer chiefs and Queen and Scissor Sisters will be on the playlist. Ugh! They should have stolen 72's cds

i've just checked out the website too and James i think you're being a little unfair -you didnt post the whole thing


"Modern anthems from Razorlight, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys and Scissor Sisters, all the way back to classic tunes by Queen, Michael Jackson, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones."


i don't know about you but i quite like razorlight, the rolling stones, michael jackson


lets give them a chance....?

Much as I'd love a bar that played nothing but the likes of Under Byen, Envelopes and Esmerine, I suspect it'd have a cast of regulars of 1.

If we as a loyal customer base encourage more of the Rolling Stones and less of the Mika we could influence musical policy...money talks.

One of the best things about the 72 was the music, it was great sitting in there having a drink while the bar staff put on what they wanted to play, rather then having a pre-arranged playlist being pumped through like you get in most bars nowadays. At the risk of getting a little misty eyed, i remember sitting at the bar, having a pint and listening to the entire Grace album by Jeff Buckley one time...not many bars can offer that.


Would be nice to have a jukebox, but i can't imagine that sitting to well a cocktail bar environment. I'm all up for giving adventure bar a fair go, i just think, given my recce on their website, that the 72 had a little more individuality to it. i bit of grunge to it and a bit of bite. Still, it's gone now so lets see what the new peeps bring in

I'm prepared to give them a chance. Some chains are better than others. Just as some girls are bigger than others. Some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers.


(Excuse me while I reminisce about Inside 72's excellent music policy)

Oh cool - I used to go there the whole time, when I was with the ex. They did fab cocktails and the owners were real nice. I hadnt gone in there for about 18 months, and when I walked in, they still remembered my fav drink!!


I used always recommend the place to people...

I f*#$ing hate Razorlight! Pre-planned playlist! Now if we sit in there the way we used to sit in I72, how many times will we hear it go round? I can only speak for my own 'we' of course, but its not the type of 'we' to pop in for a couple of drinks. Even when I72 wasn't as good as it used to be, the music was still.


Still, give it a go, benefit of the doubt, don't jump to conclusions etc....already know how it's going to turn out.

Lets stop mentioning the bar that was there before, I too was a big fan, but if it was being replaced by a book shop we wouldn't be drawing comparrisons, and it's not the new place's fault that the old place went...


I shall check it out, although, I totally agree with myrmidon that Lordship Lane needs rock!

Agreed - whilst the Cheltenham & Gloucester was a fine building society, I marginally preferred Inside 72. The music was certainly an improvement, as was the choice of alcoholic beverages. Who knows we (or some at least) may be pleasantly surprised by the newcomer. Probably best to give them a chance instead of burying them in ordure before they've opened.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
