    Monty’s, Philharmonic, Upstairs in the Crooked Stairs, the club opposite that was below ground level (can’t remember its name), all of the Brains pubs in town, the Cowbridge Road pub crawl, the Butchers in Canton, never was one for the bigger clubs like the Rank, but didn’t mind Titos.

    Dorothy’s or El Greco’s to finish the night off.

    Yes, the place I’m thinking of was just across the road from the Crooked Stairs, it was no more than twenty or thirty yards away,

    I’m sure that’s the first pub I ever went too, did it shut about 86/87

    No, got in there plenty of times mind - would never have passed even a basic health and safety check.

    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.
