The Black Cherry Bar, East Dulwich

A fantastic little bar that works hard to provide something different for East Dulwich. Great cocktails, an excellent back bar selection, interesting beers and, for the most part, decent service. It's NOT a restaurant - and has never pretended to be - and this website is about BEER (ie liquid) not FOOD - so DRT79 wants to save his pennies and go to a proper restaurant if he wants something more than basic bar food (oh - and if you've got comments to make about them - save them for london-eating.com or somewhere suitable).

Its a small, independent business - striving to provide something alternative - and that should be applauded. OK, if the staff are unnecessarily rude, or you get served "off" drinks, have a moan - but otherwise you should just keep schtum and thank God for people like the owners of Black Cherry who are saving London (and particularly East Dulwich) from turning into yet another bland, provincial high street town.

Well done guys - keep up the hard work - and don't let the b*st*rds grind you down.

Liquorish, East Dulwich

The cocktails here are absolutely shocking. The ingredients poor and over powering - lowest common denominator. Whoever makes ANY cocktail with cheap Jose Cuervo tequila (NOT the proper "tradicional") and charges these prices should be strung up.

Best cocktails in this area

1) NUMBER 22 - Herne Hill
2) BRIXTON BAR & GRILL
3) PLAN B - Brixton

Any other reason to bother with this place...? erm... Nope. Not one.

The Florence, Herne Hill

What the hell is that horrible pea-green gloss everywhere. Like a Disney-land Irish pub. Dreadful.
