WKD
-
So has anyone been in yet?
And what's it like? -
Primary colours
-
where is it? and is it anything like the camden one was (ie horrendous)?
-
What was the Camden one like?
This appears......er, basic. -
never went in while it was WKD (been to gigs there a few times since) but it seemed to be blaring r&b with loads of bouncers and people being sick outside it every time i went past (most likely to the dev, to my shame).

He sold on the Camden one after a few years and moved up to The Triangle.
-
look, i stated my goth shame, enough already.
fwiw, the previous landlords at the dev were lovely and basically got booted out on the street when the brewery/owner decided they wanted to change the venue to a more "mainstream alternative" place. my chums used to dj there 2 or 3 nights a week, so there was always something interesting on. and it was never empty. now it just plays generic alt-goth-rock and it's quarter-full of generic alt-camden types (ie middle class kids from the suburbs who are "rebelling" for a bit before they go to read classics at oxbridge)... the very scraping of the goth barrel. (and that's a well-scraped barrel, i can tell you) -
Primary colours, tatty decor, poorly painted, boxes with cushions on for seats, hippy slogans on the wall. Bit like a 60s squat, really. No kitchen. Good sound system probably. Beer about 3 quid a bottle. I was there on opening night - one of the first ten customers actually. Didn't get a free glass of bubbly though.
I won't be going back. -
There is an open planning application for the building which suggests that there already is or will be a kitchen.
-
odd-shaped venue...
-
They told me they took out the old Rose Restaurant kitchen, didn't say why.
Apparently it's going to be an arts bar, so shabby chic will be OK. Full details in today's Hornsey Journal. WKD stands for something like Wisdom, Knowledge, (forget what the D is....possibly Drunkenness). -

Two Dogs was quite nice - just tasted like 7Up but was about 5%. Then someone had the bright idea of mixing this with Lager and creating the "turbo shandy" - cue people getting very drunk and lots of crap programmes about booze Britain.
Howdy, Stranger!
