I'd say that the Beehive is the nearest thing to a 'pub for the poor' around here, if such a thing exists.Originally posted by Pie 1
a touch melodramatic hatboy & as for "the poor" I don't recall the're booze being significantly cheaper than any other normal boozer around here.

But I hope it not the Merrits
What we heard was that the guy is the owner of a pub in Dulwich Village (which is actually a road). I've double checked on t'interwebthingy and I'm sure there is only one -- the lovely Crown and Greyhound. While this hopefully bodes well in terms of it not becoming a mindless doof doof bar, I should imagine it will be taken a long way upmarket. But then the Queen was so spectacularly downmarket that this is arguably unavoidable. I still think it's a shame, though.Originally posted by Anna Key
Then someone said last night it's been sold to the owner of some pub in Dulwich.

Not really. The Queens was very tolerant of people and their problems. The lock-ins, a sly smoke, people being abit pissed or OTT - all OK. You could even get a free beer off them occasionally if you were known in there.

The redeeming features of the C&G are its beers (Leffe! On tap!)

I've had such fun in that pub, with the badly behaved, the poorly healed and the maladjusted.
...is all too true. It is an absolutely beautiful, unspoiled Victorian pub, but it could lose some of its more odious customers. All is not lost -- just try to avoid it on a Saturday night when they hunt in packs.Originally posted by corporate whore
Should the new owners be those of the Dulwich Dog, then all may not be lost, as long as they don't try to replicate said pub's rugger and sweater-round-the-shoulders atmosphere
