If you're going back way into the dim & distant (35 years ago, at the very least), then maybe, but I'd be surprised. I'm with you on this. I can go back to the mid-80s and it was never a go-go bar. However there was a pub down the bottom of the High Street called the Blue Blanket (I think). I went to a stag there once and I'm sure there were strippers, albeit it was a long time ago.

Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I used to work behind the bar in The Western circa 1990 The guy that owned it (still owns it) was tight as drum and wouldn't pay decent money for the girls so subsequently he used to get the dog rough ones mostly.

I remember growing up The Burgh Bar in Musselburgh used to have go go dancers advertised. They must have been brutal. Fanatsy Palace is by far the best place to go in Edinburgh, if that's what your into. So I've heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a pub that had 'converted' a wee room upstairs into a lappy d area. Had the private dance booth behind a sheet tacked to the wall Good times. Correct. My mate worked behind the bar for a while. One weekend, a group of Welsh egg-chasing fans were in on a Five Nations weekend. Bird was on the window sill doing her thing. Suddenly she swooped down and grabbed one of the welsh guy's specs. Without going into detail, she then used them as a plectrum, of sorts. Classy.

BigC Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Fanatsy Palace is by far the best place to go in Edinburgh, if that's what your into. So I've heard This. I only tend to go during Stag Do's, the last one being my brothers about a year and a half ago, and the girls in there were head and shoulders above anything I've seen at the pubic triangle/Lothian Rd. They're a bloody pain in the arse though if you are the best man! They just harass you all night to try and get an overpriced two girl show up and running....

PsychocAndy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We took my cousin to the triangle for his 40th and this dancer was hassling us for a dance, she was wanting too much so we knocked her back. anyway she then gets up on stage and had a ton of piercings "down stairs", so much so in a rather loud whisper I said she looked like Sammy Burns' yard. Not my thing. Just thinking that that was 7 years ago, hope she hasn't rusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small rectangular building with two or three steps up to it at one end, and another door at the side. Just down from the Tap o Lauriston. Anyone remember it?
