Camberwell news and chitter-chatter

[se5]

On a more positive note the Tiger opened last week

A vast improvement on the Silver Buckle and it has the potential to be a very good addition to the Camberwell scene

Hurrah!

It wasnt fully open when I went at the weekend (but think it is due to be fully this coming weekend)

I wonder what the former Buckle clientele will make of the swanky new surroundings (and prices)?

 

[AverageJoe]

Wow. That looks amazing compared to the Buckle.

I remember when I used to live in Camberwell and walking home a fox was attacking a small child outside it

I might pop back and have a reminisce! (about the Buckle, not the the fox )

 

[se5]

Yeah its very good - owned by the Antic Pub Co so should have the resources behind it to be in for the long term.

The pub has its own website http://www.thetigerpub.com/

Popped in to the Tiger at the weekend also. Really got high hopes for this place.
They're getting there!

 

[fogbat]

Camberwell drinks, anyone?

 

[Onket]

I might think about attending.

 

[fogbat]

I'll keep my fingers crossed that someone thinks about organising.

 

[Onket]

I can't do it!

 

[fogbat]

Nor me

 

[Onket]

Maybe HateCamberwell could have done it if he hadn't be so cruelly banned.

 

[fogbat]

It's the role he was born to play.

Perhaps, by arranging these drinks, he would have been able to come to terms with whatever early trauma led him to hate Camberwell so, and move on. But now there's no chance of that

 

[Onket]

Another young life ruined.

Another young life ruined by Crispy.

Fixed.

 

[Onket]

Sometimes its entirely correct to name names.

 

[fogbat]

Grass

 

[Crispy]

Yes, I would like to drink in this pub soon. Lets.

 

[Onket]

Please feel free to organise a meet.

[Shippou-Sensei]

[hipipol]

Tiger, Tiger burning bright
Poised to lift the Camberwell blight
Will my liver ever work again
Now you've smashed it so emphatically?


Big sorries to Willy who first went mad on Peckham Rye

 

[Thimble Queen]

I was talking to Sparra about welcome to Camberwell drinks for her and Crispy the other day... lets do this soon

 

[boohoo]

Good idea!! I like trips to Camberwell...

I went to the Tiger briefly this evening, because they claimed on twitter that they were having a small opening party from 6-8, and that it would include a free drink. Apparently, I was the only person to claim the free drink, and I was driving, so I only had an orange juice

The pub is looking good, though. The acoustics are a bit rubbish when it is busy, though, so I recommend, if a group do go and want to chat, to go in the slightly raised bit which has a carpet and has better acoustics.

 

[BoxRoom]

Went there also tonight, didn't ask for a free drink because I'm so rubbish and polite.

Good atmosphere in there, great to see it more done-up and suchlike. Still positive this will be a wonderful addition to the area.

Fingers, toes, eyes crossed.

 

[Guineveretoo]

I was very polite about it, and the tweeting guy actually came over to our table afterwards, and offered me another free drink, because he recognised me as the person who tweeted about the lack of real ale on opening night

 

[BoxRoom]

Jammy!
