I had a look in Planning Applications and their is a notice about 435 West Green road, problems with noise. The builders have gutted the ground floor all the way to the back garden, I have a feeling it will be a Turkish restaraunt, but it's only a guess. Either way I hope it will be an improvement on the previous venue, sounds like it was hell for the neighbours and residents around the bar.
Sounds like a reasonable guess in our area! It certainly was a pretty noisy and lairy venue, although I live a fair bit along the road so wasn't one of those directly affected.
Well almost certainly Bulgarian then. Perhaps it's the people who used to run the Bulgarian place opposite that changed hands.
You must have avoided it at busy times, as it was certainly pretty full upon occasion (perhaps private bookings) and although it never bothered me I might say differently if I was closer
I for one am rather sad that the old Nile has gone. I live on the West Green Road and can see the place from my window. The noise, such as it was, never bothered me. And there was never any trouble.
The Nile was essentially an African bar with music and other special nights. It got VERY busy late at night on a weekend when I could see people going there dressed up for a night out. A lot of people are going to miss it- it offered something different in the area.
For the rest of the time- I think it opened late afternoon- it was fairly quiet. But it was very nicely done out, clean and friendly. It was a good place to have a quiet drink- no real ale but draft Guinness instead.
So I don't know where this "sounds like hell for the neighbours" comes from. Clearly from the way you phrase it secondhand gossip. I'm here, a few doors up and across the road- no problem.
For those who prefer ANOTHER Turkish restaurant to a black bar OK you're welcome to your choice, but please don't knock a place when its down based on unsubstantiated rumour.
Well yes indeed. But the West Green Road is a very mixed place- residential, shops, offices, bars and cafes. I like that sort of area- I don't want to live in a suburban street in Beckenham a mile from any facilities. But certain things go with a neighbourhood like ours- principally an enhanced level of noise. Mostly we get used to it. We all have our bete noires- mine are police sirens- but it's part of where we live. The activity from the Nile was nothing exceptional- and I'm here every night. And of course since the smoking ban you do get far more drinkers out on the pavement. But I prefer activity and enterprise to empty premises- see also the late lamented Buonissimo
Don't take my word for it, you can check the planning application

as afar as I'm concerned all late night venues have a duty of care to make sure their patrons leave quietly. I bet these people don't make loads of noise when they roll up at their own houses in whatever suburban street they live in.
