CC London Spring Party - ALL BAR ONE - THE SHAD: Fiday 8 April

[Davywalnuts]

That sort of defeats the whole purpose of these non cycling events. This is a chance to get together with fellow CCers for an enjoyable evening.
It's always going to hard to please everyone so sometimes sacrifices have to be made.

I've said previously that the All Bar One is far from my preferred destination, but am still happy to attend if that's where the majority will be and I can get an acceptable drink.
If you just want a good beer you can do that any time and at any place you choose.

Here Here!

And to be frank, its not all about the beer, or the views, or the speed of the service or how tasty some of the skirt is, its who your with that counts and like every good, successful relationship, compromise is the way to a happy healthy future.

Peace.

It's only a matter of time before we see Davy in the remake of 'The Sweeney'.

 

[Tynan]

it was a joke (mostly)

although I'm still loathe to patronise an All Bar One

I've not been to the Crown for ages, if it's that bad it shouldn't be on the list, anywhere decent is going to be rammed on a Friday after work

I'm taking the wife out for some drinks on this Friday after work, the Seven Stars and Old Nicks, both tucked up remote backroads off the Strand, I shall report back with smug satisfaction if they're bearable

I suspect anywhere that isn't busy at that time is boarded up by now

I do most of my pub time pre football so perhaps I'm hardened to a busy bar more than others

haha!

Theres only one person i've ever wanted to meet, that I now cant and that was John Thaw, great great actor..

Annoyingly, my dad did on quite a few occasions in the Inspector Morse series as they used his chemistry labs... darn.

He can be Dennis 'Waterworks', starring as 'Nintendo' DS Carter-Blanche... "guv"

I'm quite happy with the fact that I have never been to an All Bar One before, and will unlikely go again unless absolutely necessary.

Please do let us know if they are any good. I don't do Central London boozers very often so any tips are always welcome.
Perhaps the next one will be held in one of these, perhaps you'd like to volunteer to organise it?

Why the Crown? It's too bloody busy and it takes you (average Friday evening) 20-30 minutes to get served. Not an enjoyable experience.

This is a good point. A good pub in central London will be hell on a Friday night.
We need to go to a shoot one, or at best a mediocre one. With a lot of space outside.

We need to book a few tables, innit? If no bugger volunteers, I'm quite happy to do this

men stand to drink

Does my user name suggest I have a penis? I prefer to sit when in the pub, I find that a lot of men on our cycle rides do that too.

Can you start a poll to see how many people will want to sit during the evening and for how long, to see if it's worth booking tables

Sit in the pub on a bike ride? Surely not!

You're always full of happiness whenever I see you Katie - or is that just me..?

Tynan was only pulling your plonker - of course he'll sit down!

Who is doing the seating plan?

Leave it to User - he'll run a poll on who wants to sit where...
