New cider bar in Loughborough Junction reopens on Fri 19 to Sun 21 May 2017

[boohoo]

Hopefully a Saturday visit.

They have some beauties

Tomorrow will be challenging

 

[ViolentPanda]

I'm another one for Saturday, and possibly Sunday.

I'll be slipping you some money so you can bring me home some carry-out!

Some lovely ciders (that rum cask is far too nice for it's abv!), and even lovelier staff and patrons! Will hopefully manage to come back at some point over the weekend.

Did speak to a couple of people from here, but didn't catch any usernames - I was the Welsh guy trying to juggle drinking through illness and looking after my very drunk Ukranian/Mexican friends who'd been drinking since 3...

Also fallen a little bit in love with that area since Whitechapel is now just gastropubs and food bloggers.

Really? I thought it had not changed much, since I left, in 2006.

Will go back to take another look

Yep unfortunately; been here 4 years and it's changed a huge amount in that time. The White Hart (Sainsbury's end) is now a "brew pub" that focuses on food, The Castle is now also a generic posh pub, Rhythm Factory has closed down, there's a Coffee Republic also Sainsbury's end (opposite 'Mouse Tail Coffee Stories'), Dirty Burger, Pixxa...

But most of all, the pubs are just full of nobs now

Ouch. I want my mum.

Good job by Hatter - great set-up and lovely ciders. Never again, mind.....

Not until the next time, anyway.

LAST NIGHT WAS GREAT. I'm looking forward to more in a bit x

 

[DietCokeGirl]

Gonna wander in a bit....

 

[mango5]

Be here now

 

[friendofdorothy]

I'm too poorly to drink... miserable to not be there.

 

[19sixtysix]

Drove past on way to night shift. Looked fun but was running late. Now sat at work with Mr Stupid spouting shite again. Gawd save me ......

 

[equationgirl]

Hope it goes just as well this weekend Brixton Hatter

 

[Peanut Monkey]

Popped in this evening for a quick one and had a great time. We had the baby in tow so couldn't stay long unfortunately but thank you Brixton Hatter.

Looking forward to the next time...

My favourite this time is the rioja cask, followed by the strawberry. Last time I had Apples and Pears and Hedge Layer. I have drunk more cider in the last two months than the last two years. (just five pints, but still. I thank you Mr Hatter).

was that your angelic baby girl who wo my heart at the bar? what a peach!

i had a lovely time, but knackeredness won out.

the rum cask was just like nectar, and i was very pleasantly surprised by the authentic strawberry tartness of the strawberry cider.

If she was about three months old, bald and wearing a flowery dress then yes!
Lovely to meet you briefly.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Rum Cask
Rioja Cask
...and the sparkling bottled stuff that spanglechick had.

Delicious and strong

Get well soon, you were right to stay home this time though. AFAIK BH will be doing this again.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Many thanks to everyone for coming over the past few days, it's been brilliant, we've really enjoyed having you there!

It's hard work but it's also great fun and you lot make it better - it's working and socialising at the same time. Thanks to everyone who's embraced the cider vibe, it's great seeing people trying different stuff out and I hope you've enjoyed the range on offer.

Today is 'Mission: Drink The Bar Dry'!

Everything needs to be drunk, so we're dropping the prices to £3 a pint, £1.50/half.

I am reliably informed by the weatherman that the sun is coming out shortly, so feel free to pop down for a lazy Sunday afternoon pint in the sunshine. (Oh, and free cheese )

[xsunnysuex]

Still haven't managed to get there. But it looks to be a great success.

 

[Maggot]

I have singularly failed to get there too, but I have no plans today and will pop in this afternoon. Hope the weather improves.

 

[mango5]

I'll be along in a bit.

I'd really like to come this afternoon but I've a complicated mix of kids and probably out for the count gaijinboy who is on his way back from Dunwich. Plus a back in spasms again... but I'm thinking some medicinal cider would help that.

 

[Thimble Queen]

II'll be there late afternoon
