flong Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I've just seen a rather cryptic press release announcing that a private members' club called Den Lodge is to be opened in East Dulwich. There's no other info on it, other than the contact details of Antic (www.antic-ltd.com), the company that owns the EDT and a clutch of other pubs. Anyone heard anything about this? (Given the name, perhaps its target market will be the local population of foxes.)

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The ceiling upstairs at the EDT has Masonic regalia carved in the architrave - perhaps the name Den Lodge harks back to when it was a hotbed of one-trousered, nipple-bared, square-standing chaps?Edited for MA.

Marmora Man Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I was somehow contacted via my business e-mail for this club - still cannot work out how they found it.

EDOldie Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Smooth lounge lizard that I am (as well as expert on all things fox)I went to the opening night of the Dex club in Brixton and well nice it is too. Can't find their web site but it's over the Kentucky, opposite the Ritzy and they own the pub next door to said kentucky. Theres a room on the first floor with bar and then above there are some bedrooms (all en suite) and a terrace with a hot tub, and all in the centre of brixton. Will it be similar here? Anyway if they want invite me to the opening night they'll have to get in touch with my agent.

???? Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I'm with Groucho Marks on Private Clubs.....I remember when the Funky Monkey in Camberwell got delusions of Granduer andtried something similar upstairs......EDis NOT Notting Hill or Hoxton FFS. Horrible, snotty, elitist, claptrap IMO. I had a phase of going to SohoHouse with a girl...a place stuffed with a load of wanabees with far too much coke....it nearly turned me back to socialism....

david_carnell Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 As someone on the other thread mentioned, it could well be more of a licensing ruse than some sort of elitist venue (not that I'd mind that you understand,as long as I was invited). A place I used to frequent regularly as a student in Leeds (RIP Hyde Park Social) was a "members club" but in reality this amounted to an annual sub of ?1 and a bit of yellow paper witha your name and number on it. Apparantly it allows for cheaper licenses and therefore cheaper drinks. Worked a treat for me.

AcedOut Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I had my 30th at Dex. Great place. So they are coming to ED? I would doubt it somehow, since it's a very loud house club with a big terrace area. I can't see that going down in ED, but we'll see.www.dexclub.co.uk Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4110-private-members-club-in-ed/#findComment-130902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
