Casino on york Place has/had a 5am licence. Any hotel bar (providing you know the staff) Then stratties at 6am. You were never able to do that. The licensing authorities used to make sure there was a half hour break for legal purposes. Quote

We used to go to the casino till it shut at 5.30am then it was Oman's Bar for 6am opening. Actually, thinking back I think the casino was open till 6am. Edited October 30, 2020 by graygo Quote
crunchy frog Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 This was my uncle's shop. He made an absolute killing, gradually changed the opening hours to 6am if I recall. Don't know if he was the first to do that. Quote
