Cant believe the place is shutting……i had some great nights in there on a wednesday!
I used to be a regular in there on a Wednesday too. I remember when they had Kestrel on tap.
only went 3 times….all i can say is this…….
RUFF AS FOOK
Had great times there in the mid eighties when the Hongkins brothers ran the doors.
The place was quite decent back then with coach parties from all around coming down.Remember the friday night ‘happy hours’ between 10-12 and loads of p’ss’ed up kids chucking up all over the place.I also remember the games the resident DJs used to play which usually involved females getting their kits off for a bottle of cheap wine-very un PC !
The boxing night ‘fancy dress ‘ started here because no other place opened but the Pier on boxing night.It went rough and always seemed to full of tracky suited chavs with a penchant for stamping on other peoples heads.
Sad to see it shut down but it seems all my old haunts have gone in recent years.

The DJ when i went was a little fat fellow with a moustache and he was what you would call an ‘entertainer’.
His best joke came as he was playing Madonna ‘into the groove’ he then said “i wouldnt mind gettin into er groove ” :P
i also saw The Cool notes,Sinita and Loose Ends perform here during that spell-all chart bands at the time!
