My Fathers Place on Coldharbour Lane to become a cocktail bar

[editor]

Yeah, I heard about this. It is a great potential venue space wise, but there have been a few (Khans aside) different bars/cafes on that row which have gone under Perhaps they will have a better offer and/or marketing team? Possibly the arrival of Effra Social and the overspill from the Hoot will make this a better location now?

The rapidly shifting demographics might help too.

 

[leanderman]

It could just work. Decent corner spot that the tapas place lacked.

Good news for us Lower Tulse Hillites.

I got sent this.

This thread is confusing me now. Are Salts of the Earth now going to gentrify the Hope - and have we lost all hope of gentrifying the area round My Fathers Place and the Coldharbour Lane William Hills, or what?

They've abandoned My Fathers Place and with the new residential development being squeezed into the old solicitors next door, I guess the prospects of any kind of bar opening there are now increasingly slim.

Notice how those banknotes have clearly spent some time rolled up in the not too distant past...

They need a bit of spell check on that:

Maybe they're on Serif free DTP software?

They've announced they have the keys to Coldharbour Lane.

Ruling out Montego Inn presumably.

I hope the future residents at Charles Allotey Solicitors - currently under major reconstruction - like a vibrant lifestyle.
They will have the benefit of Salts of the Earth next door to their right and the Majestic with its old school heavy bass speakers one door away to their left.

Looks like they've started clearing out the interior of My Father's Place.

Blimey. Where is that photo from?

Blimey. Where is that photo from?

Maybe the former bar staff kept it for self protection?
There have been occasional machete incidents over the years in this part of Brixton. Makes you wonder what people put in their holiday suitcases.

 

[leanderman]

Blimey. Where is that photo from?

Their twitter feed. They are just back from Cannes, SoF don't you know!

 

[Rushy]

Maybe the former bar staff kept it for self protection?

Or maybe their back yard was a little unruly.

We do get lots of buddleia down here - comes with the railway.

Quite brave opening a bar there, good luck to them.

I give it 3 months.

Montego Inn a much better option

Montego Inn a much better option

The Angel pub might be more of a realistic option for a business.

Saturday night 10:00 the Albert, Market House and Dogstar were rammed, surely a need.

Montego Inn a much better option

Can't they do both.

 

[leanderman]

Can't they do both.

Might take on the Montego myself - how difficult can it be?

I'd drink there.

One of the Shrub & Shutter chaps has just been "rocking another pop up in Cannes, south of France."

Perhaps some French bravo will do us the favour of killing him in the face?
