Oh, that's Dulwich, not Camberwell!
It's Camberwell
The owner likes to claim that it is East Dulwich, but it is actually Camberwell!
We had an urban meet there once and did the quiz, I seem to remember. I don't remember how well we did, so I suspect we didn't win
It really is tucked away, so gets no casual traffic. Jamie, the owner, tried really hard to get it going, including the quiz night, free comedy nights, some of which were good, showing sports matches etc. etc. But it was just too tucked away, and he could never keep staff, so wasn't able to do food, and, for a while, the beer actually kept going off because he didn't have enough trade, so we drank bottled beer!
His original plan was to set up a micro brewery, and he brought some chap over from Canada to manage the pub and set up the brewery, but that collapsed at an early stage.
Eventually, he built flats above it, which are rented, so I guess that is how he is making some money, although he can't be making much, because the building was all a bit of a disaster, one way or another.
Then he fell out with the neighbours because he introduced live music and wouldn't soundproof the pub, or find a way to get the smokers to go somewhere other than right underneath the windows of people trying to sleep etc. etc. The neighbours launched a licence challenge and won, so that he had to make significant changes to how he ran the pub.
Whatever, it is a shame!
