Ah. Man Fridays. Many a happy Thursday and Saturday night in there.
Sullivans was the wine bar at the Savoy. Happy days.
Met the ex Mrs on a Thursday night in there after a college night class. Had to rescue my books & notes from behind the bar at the Crown after forgetting them earlier, much relieved the day after.
illawalla.
Used to walk down from the Bay Horse pub just before closing time as queues to get in were massive back then.
Big posh houses on the land today, right next door to Andy Pilley’s pad.
The Queens /Showboat
that doesn't ring any bells at all,
I worked there collecting glasses for a few months and cloakroom attendent
Mama and Papa Jenks - I spent far too much of my youth in both of them. It seemed quicker to walk upstairs at 11.00 than sod about getting in anywhere else.
Have I asked you before if you made eye to eye contact with him…
I tried but it was war
He sent an SOS from Maine to Mexico
In the Mood was the one in Lytham. Wasnt the Kirkham one Charlie Max or summat?Does anyone remember the club / disco on Clifton St Lytham mid seventies …… trying to rack my brain to remember the name . Also a couple of others I recall ….. I think was called Elite on Victoria St and the DJ was non other than Afroman and another we went to was the occasional Sunday Charity nite at a club in Kirkham …. Again can’t remember the name but 40 odds years later my memory if fading
I think we grew up in the best time ever during late 70’s , 80s and early 90’s
Pepe's Bar.............not that I frequented it I hasten to say

nope it was Lucys Bar. Pepes was further up Talbot Rd on the other side near where that cigarette kiosk was.Pepe's Bar.............not that I frequented it I hasten to say
As you say Adam and Eve was the place to be seen until the owner John Slack (RIP) banned me that is!!
Used to hate it in there. Full of tossers (not you obvs.)
Forgot that name. Used to go quite a bit. Dress code never applied to me (true).Pepe's Bar.............not that I frequented it I hasten to say

i was probably a massive tosser at that age
Me too
And me but a very happy tosser at that!Me too
In the middle 60’s Brian Rossi and the Wheels used to play at the Queens disco and the band contained a little known Van Morrison
As above except I didn't meet Mrs H in Addison's (or did I )
Also add Lemon Tree to the list .
Great ,beat me to it !! Queens Home of "the Wheels" and Rev Black and the Rockin vicars. The Vic home of the pint called ,"Brewers droop" . What about "the Picador" on Bloomfield Rd reputably owned by Jihnny Kidd and our very own "Twisted Wheel" for the mods among us. Happy days !! And great footy
Van Morrison didn't play with the Wheels but wrote the song "Gloria"
That would be Dixieland on Central Pier.
Sorry but you’re wrong - Morrison was hired by Brian Rossi and the Golden Eagles, later known as the Wheels and he was hired as a blues singer.
Did a Stag do once - the Sandcastle followed by Sands - Best Man had his locker broken in to and all his clothes stolen and so ended up with a combo of left behind clothes from the Sandcastle lost property department and some shit shoes from a pound shop on the Prom!
Yep, and Jerry Dorsey played there, now known as Engelbert Humperdinck
Was the pier also called Oz at one point? I know I went a couple of times but was that pissed I couldn't remember my own name, let alone the building's.
Then Brian Rossi and the Eagles never played at Queens at least when I went. The Wheels with Brian as lead singer never had Sorryson with them and I went every week
