exAtyeoMax Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 I remember going to Papillon circa 1986, my friend cried on my t shirt and got electric blue mascara all over it. We used to go to the Studio for goth night (was it called The Garden?), Busby's goth night, both around 1990/91. Hatchett's or the Hatchet, went there about 2014 for Goth night upstairs! Mid 90s, we went to Chicago Rock, McClusky's, a place in Clifton Down Shopping Centre, and the last place we used to frequent was The Lizzard Lounge (we were in there when Sir Steve Redgrave got his fifth gold medal at the Sydney games. They put the telly on whatever time of the morning it was). Umm, and Reflex… We used to get chip butty and garlic mayonnaise from the place next to the burger place near the Hippodrome. Sometimes we'd go to Benny's for pizza on Park Street and sometimes go for a meal at The Marigold (?) at 2am in the morning… Was it Greek food? It was actually ok as far as I remember. I remember going to a place on the lefthand side of Park St that had a balcony all around the top, we all sort of fell asleep on the tables. God knows how we got home. I'll have a read through the thread, there's probably some places I've forgotten… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenkibby. Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Not Bristol related as my clubbing years were in Torquay. I'm going back to the 70s so counting a lot of you young un's out. There were a lot from all over the country that came to Torquay for the night life and a lot of the jocks stayed, they even formed a decent football side and went up through the local leagues playing in the Celtic hoops. Anyway anyone holiday down there and remember any of these clubs. The Compass,400 club,Carousel,Scotch club (witch later was Tiffs) Rockingham, Clair's,Mr Matts. Compass was a great club,right next to the harbour and on 4 levels. Couple in Paignton, Penelope's and Pacific witch were both part or the Tembani hotel. Pacific was the place to go if you wanted to get up to date with any new Soul sounds from the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
