Keef Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The Rye is nice, but in my opinion it's too small / narrow for a big bunch of us to really get in and mingle.

Moos Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 There's the big bit at the back - maybe they'd let us have it?

georgia Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Ok what's the decision for the 3rd October? I would suggest trying one of the new bars on LL so The Magnolia or Adventure bar (probably not enough space though I could ask them to reserve us an area).

Strawbs Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hey everyone! I missed out on the last ones as was away but will be coming along to the next ones. I have a different drinks night on at the Rye that night so will come afterwards.For info they do rope off areas out the back, there are normally about 40 or 50 of us and we get the marquee area but then all behind that is the back garden area that could totally be reserved for the EDF, that way both of my nights could be integrated and I wouldnt have to travel!!!

annaj Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Good point David. Perhaps they we all looked so terrible this month that Andrew can't bring himself to post them...Anyway, do we have a decision yet for next month?

SeanMacGabhann Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 yes (not just refurb - new owners, layout, vibe - should be different from last visit) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3933-edf-drinks-friday-5th-september-the-duke/page/7/#findComment-133020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 what's this obsession with the Mag, that'll be like the seventh time there. Besides, as far as I can see all that's changed is the colour (thank god!!!) the name (meh) and the addition of the flock 'please no more flock' wallpaper.

Michael Palaeologus Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 The Mag would be good, we like The Mag - even in its all new configuration.

SeanMacGabhann Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Liqourish and Bishop on a Friday night? I can't see how that would work - the noise alone would make the last Mag do seem like a graveyard(That's not me having a dig at either place btw - but they are just waaay to busy at the weekends IMO) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3933-edf-drinks-friday-5th-september-the-duke/page/7/#findComment-133466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
annaj Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 It seems to be only Mockney grumpy-old-man Piers who's not keen on the Mag....I like flock wallpaper.

Brendan Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 In his defence, and in the defence of grumpy old married men everywhere, I think it is mainly the flocking wallpaper that has got to him. Personally I think wallpaper should have race cars on it. Like I had in my room before I got married.

mockney piers Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I went, and it's fine. I thought the staff were nice, even quite fancied one of them *gasp*, but it's just, flock flipping wallpaper and low-hanging retro lamps, it's like making a stark chrome and pine bar circa 2001, 10 years after it seemed like a good idea.OK, flock's only dominated for the last 6 or 7, but come on, at least try something original. Maybe lots of bric-a-brac stuck to the walls and ceiling, it may still be sh!t, but it's almost retro by now n'est ce pas?As Mrs Mockney can testify, they've plenty of teething troubles, having over-charged us (pence rather than pounds) twice in a row, and one of the barmaids (the cute one as it goes) got a bit snotty at her. But then she pulled a sort of 'do you know who we are, we're from the forum you know' and I was so mortified I had to apologise profusely to the manager.Long story short, it's nice and enough and I'll be enjoying more pints there, it's just we always seem to go to the Mag. How about the never before visited Fox-on-the-hill or Phoenix or even Oriwisu Spot, huh, HUH?!
