Are you thinking of Floyd's which was above a clothes shop of the same name, but next door to Barkers . Bit alternative, owned by Kelvin Evans from Pentrebane .

There’s something in the back of my mind thinking you may be right. I can remember that it used to be the only place to stay open after the pubs closed on a Sunday night - think it was until midnight. Not sure why they bothered really, there was hardly anyone in there on the couple of occasions I went there on a Sunday.

Town was usually dead on a Sunday evening.

The mention of the police reminded me of the Old Howardians Club on Clifton St, it was accessed through a small alleyway next to Clifton St nick. It came to life after outside of licensing hours, both afternoon & night, never a pick of bother in there though with its very own neighbourly security frequenting the place:xmashehe:

Yes, that’s what it was called, a few of us from Companies House would stop off there in the mid eighties for a few hours on a Friday afternoon before a night out in town.
