Cunnyfunt Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Haha - that was the first place in town I pulled a bird when I was 16!!!It was very similar to the inside of Po na nas if I remember rightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 31s used to be chaos. Wasn't the bar right in the middle of the place until they redesigned it & shifted it to the left hand side? I also remember the bar in the Knot on the Harbour was right in front of the door! It was useless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being reopened as "SWX" a late venue and music rooms so they say. I have a feeling they'll be looking to compete with the O2. Hopefully, more house music!

Rinkadink Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 No mention of The Depot on Lawrence Hill roundabout? Bristol hasn't been the same since that place closed; Acidic, Ripsnorter, Deathrow Techno, Vagisness, and a bunch of others. Some still do the odd night but it's not the same, in size or spirit. Tribe of Frog at Lakota probably comes closest. What happened to Castro's as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'd imagine its only a leasehold anyway? Always assumed Odeon/Rank Group (whoever it is these days) still holds the freehold of the entire original odeon building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNBT Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Anybody know the place that was on a car lot? Might been the Yard if I remember correctly not sure where it was as traveled in the back of a van there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 The Alex.... Rings a bell but it was a long time ago and every visit was under the influence of a combination of mind altering substances.... Christ, haven't thought of the Alex for years, next door to the nine o clock shop (it was something for a shop to stay open to nine o clock in the 1970s). I lived round the corner in Royal Park and the Alex was a haven after closing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Jeepers, I too remember McKluskys, Evo, Brannigans (grab a granny nites!), The Works being over 21s on a Sat night and even though the bouncers knew I was 18, I used to just waltz past them... Reflex was a good gig, Chicagos, Sports Bar... I miss Bar Me (Baldwin St - twas full of kids but cheap) and Bar Excellence. Now spend my time frequenting pubs, rather than town...

Septic Peg Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 BTW, I remember Elvis from the Megabowl bar too! I liked it in there. Always full of teens who were too cool for bowling but too young for town. No ID needed... good times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
