Thank you for not calling it something with 'chitter chatter' in the title.

The sky bar above the multi story car park opened again this week, great place if a bit pricey.

Sunday lunch at the White Horse is well-cooked and good value. Some of the older clientele dress smartly to go there on Sundays, which is nice to see.

 

[Onket]

I was in the White Horse on Friday night. Decent proper pub.

 

[DeadManWalking]

Well I did hear there was a campaign to get Nunhead it's own postcode (I guess to get cheaper insurance!), can't say it'd make a differnce though I was in Nunhead express on Friday when a policeman came running in asking if anyone had seen a guy walking around with a machette!

Something like that, yeah.

It is called something like that isn't it? That's why I haven't ventured down there.

This is Frank's bar, the one on top of the car park, it's actually better than this review suggests

"Come on," I consoled, "look at that view of the Gherkin and the London Eye. Imagine being 19 and into bad art, LSD and urban deprivation tourism. It's paradise!"

Is it still open? I thought it was just a temporary thing.

e2a: Doh - I should have read the second link

 

[Onket]

How long did you stay in the pub after I left, mate?

 

[fogbat]

I don't remember

This is why sinking a fair bit of schnapps before leaving the house is always a mistake...

Good work.

 

[bromley]

I'm going to bash that whitey.

That is all.

I was impressed with the Italian place, Il Giardino, on Blenheim Grove the other night.

I wasn't impressed by the wanky bar further down the same street which is in an arch under the railway line.

Bar Story.

 

[Onket]

Yeah. Fake Berlin for cunts.

 

[fogbat]

Never been in, though my housemate has unpleasant things to say about the owner.

 

[Onket]

Yes?....

 

[fogbat]

I can't remember the specifics. I may have been drunk.

 

[Onket]

I see.

Seeing that bar on top of the multi-storey car park is weird.

I used to live on Moncriefe street, where the car park now is, which used to run all the way down to the lane.

Strange how things turn out. Might have to pay it a visit.

 

[DeadManWalking]

They have clamped down on you bringing your own beer to the carpark bar this year
