The Foundry, Hoxton = wanker city central

[nino_savatte]

Every time I go there I have a shit time. went there on saturday with some old friends from anarcho-punk days who had been told (evidently, they said later by someone who was playing a cruel practical joke) that it had a 'good vibe'.

i have had a better 'vibe' awaiting test results in a GU clinic.

The place fucking stinks, the music is garbage and the clientele are amongst the most indolent, obnoxious, up-themselves bunch of trust-fund wankers you're ever likely to find in the area (which is saying something!)

Fuck The Foundry and all who sail in her

I haven't been there for awhile. I wasn't impressed the last that I went either.

If you want shite and contrived look over the road at "Flavella Chic"...horrific place, horrific name, wall-to-wall wankers

yes. they really should test new strains of nerve gas in that place.

i don't know, it's nice having an expensive cocktail in the "slum-chic" surroundings, if only they would add some ruthless gunmen to make it more authentic

"Favella Chic"
"Smallpox Cool"
"Cancerous Style"



That name sounds like they're almost taking the piss out of themselves.

Is that where the 150 Bar used to be? That place was great.

Fuck off

 

[rutabowa]

[Pieface]

You're such a wag

 

[rutabowa]

alright but i'm not making this up, it is genuinely on their website:
"Historia
What is Favela Chic? C’est quoi?
A collective. A restaurant. A menagerie. A circus. A bordello. A concept. An art space. A club. A sound. A party. A bar. And none of the above…"

somewhere in Rio there is a posh bar themed on the Croxteth housing estate where the menu is all written in Dutch

I'm going to go to Favela Chic very soon

What's a nuit blanche? Is it when you drink so much you have a black out? But with coke?

I've been there, to see Roll Deep with a live band, and Mpho Skeef.

As venues go it seemed to be alright (i.e. not too big, able to see the stage easily from the back, quite an intimate feel). However me and my brother did all the drinking at home, so unable to comment on the bar prices/staff/attitude.

The Foundry's in Hoxton? I never even knew there was a place called Hoxton. I thought it was in Shoreditch! I got lost on the way to a courier race that started at the Foundry. My Google map was wrong

I love Favella Chic. Although one time everyone in their was being wanky and we were bored so we went around saying hello to everyone who caught our eye....should have seen the dirty looks we received!

We're entertaining the 'Wankers' tomorrow in the bar area if anyone's in that part of town. Tons of bands downstairs too, should be a great night. Annoianoid seems to be a popular guy with the urb75 crew!

 

[El Jefe]

yep, should be coming to this. Mainly to point and laugh at Annoianoid

 

[hipipol]

Oi loves the Foundry

But I'd rather be boiled alive in goat piss than go to the Fart-velour place!!!

 

[i'mnotsofast]

And then it was gone. For good this time.
