Deodato Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 My favourites in times gone by were Cinderellas (burnt down) Electric Circus (now the Jaffa Cake or whatever) The Hoochie Coochie Club Outer Limits (no idea what its called now) Buster Browns (ditto) La Belle Angele (went in a gas explosion) The Mission (now Espionage) These days I'm a pint and a sit down kinda guy!! Typo. The Mission is spelt 'Mish' and with a slur, rhymes with 'Pished' ....for good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Lincs Jambo Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Cracking thread! Just read through from the start and it brings back many a memory. Been trying to think of the name of a boozer I used to frequent late 70s early 80s on St Stephen St. On same side of the road as the Antiquary about 2/3s of the way from the Tiq to the Baillie. Basement bar and sometimes had live jazz bands playing. Anyone know this place?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Tried this question about two years ago with no joy so will try again tonight: Can anyone remember a place in either Hanover Street or Frederick Street (between George and Queen St) around 1980/81 which was (I think) black and white checked outside, food was burgers, hickory ribs, chicken wings etc. We used to get handed vouchers in the street which gave you 'buy one meal get the second free' on Thursday nights. The decor was also black and white. The name of this place has been bugging us for years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
