Pembury Tavern

[Onket]

When the hell is this going to open?

I think there are some people in the flats (or possibly they are offices) upstairs but the Pub has not been touched.

Anyone know owt?

Ah, the Pembury Tavern. Who remembers the great after-party all day parties in there on Sunday afternoons after squat parties, in around the summer of 1998?

Great, some of those were!

I've still not been in. Is it nice?

It's not bad. They have free wifi and they have beer festivals. Milton brewery, lots of ale. Food's a bit pricey. When it's empty it can have a bit of an, erm, library atmosphere.

We had an urbanites meet up in there about a month ago, you missed it.

Is this the Pembury Tavern in Dalston - I used to work round the corner at the Dole office on Spurstowe Terrace, 1985-88 and it went from being a very grim black pub, to a derelict, to a 'trendy wine bar' in that time - signs of the times.....

I assumed folk meant the one at the bottom of Pembury Road, more Hackney central? - used to be the nearest thing i had to a local, living on Pembury estate

Ain't that Dalston though - Dalston lane runs into that junction doesn't it. Ah well. I defer to you dennis, I haven't been there for yonks.

But I have to admit this was a sneaky attempt for me to bump the oldest thread possible.

aye, see what you mean - it is on Dalston Lane - but not in Dalston ('hackney'ied pedant that i am...)

i wouldn't consider to be in dalston, i guess that area is just called hackney, or maybe hackney central

its actually clapton on the address - but everyone avoids wanting to be part of clapton so hackney central does just fine

As a claptonite, i wouldn't consider it part of clapton, it's borderline, i know, i would call it hackney downs, since it is on the road that leads up to the downs, or hackney central since it is also on the road which leads to the station

As a fellow Claptonite I agree that its not in Clapton. The electoral ward it is in is Hackney Central so thats where im inclined to say it is.

I've started calling it Hackers, cuz I am a wanker

ah right, not being a local, dalston and central hackney are pretty synonymous in my head really......

Are 'A' and 'B' dole offices still sitting opposite eachother on Spurstowe Terrace, or were they burned down? And remind me of the pub by Hackney Central station, we used to go in there quite alot...

The Railway Tavern? Doesn't look that special from the outside, although I have a soft spot for all railway-named pubs.

I think the poster was referring to the Earl Amhurst in Amhurst Road which was nearer to Hackney Central Station. However when Gibbons Department Store burnt down in 2003 the pub was so badly damaged it had to be domolished.

thats the fella, earl amhurst, ah well - I had some good times there.

Went there for the first time a few weeks ago with Sunray and the Pixie. It's not bad - the food looked fantastic. Bit hard to hear people even though I don't think there was any music.

Oddly, I noticed that (bar me) it was really, really white in there. Not in a hostile way, just very white. I don't usually notice that sort of thing!

 

[rutabowa]

i still don't really like it in there, there is something indefinably wrong about it, like it was built on a burial ground or something. 3 sisters all the way, if you are in that area.

 

[Onket]

I agree that The Three Sisters is a great local's pub.

i was there last night. now i feel shit. i am sure i used to be able to have 4 pints of guinness without a hangover.
they have built posh decking on the outside bit now, for the smokers. and a gazebo, and a new pool table.

 

[Onket]

They've built an outside pool table?
