The Pat Rice-****ing carnage! I don't think anyone actually ate any of the food, just threw it at other pissed punters.

It was OK for a while, but went downhill rapid with the drug barons moving in.

Yup, Mental pub. The Locomotive on Broadway was a bit crazy as well. What was the other pub on Broadway that has closed down?

Yup, the place was called the Patrice hence Pat Rice. He probably would've done a better job of cooking the food than they did.

The Bertram was on Braodway wasn't it?
The locomotive was a place to avoid for a number of years before it closed. A mate of mine from ely was in there one day and went to the toilet where his own cousin tried to mug him. He was so smashed out of his head he didn't even recognise him.
But my firend and his brothers had long memories.

However, it wasn't too long before we were working short-time. I would usually work Monday to Wednesday and then off Thursday and Friday with 80% of normal pay, this lasted for about 2 years.
I was single at the time and living in a bedsit in Canton, so I had no real financial worries, it suited me fine, particularly in the summer.
Not surprisingly the Cold Roll shut not long after and I was transferred to the Re-Bar department on the Tremorfa site.

The Bertram was a rough place. The 'travelling community' used to get in there a lot, especially around the pool table in the bar.

Great estate and times during the 60’s.
Used to stay up there after school (St Illtyds), before riding home to Roath.
Later years, the Goodies used to have a fantastic skittle roll off, on a Saturday night, before we all went to town, mostly with the kitty money. GREAT TIMES

Re: help with the name of a pub
Another late night Broadway haunt was the Numismatics Club (just a little bit further down than The New Dock), it was eventually taken over by a bloke named a Billy Hood and renamed, can’t remember what he called it at first, something ‘Pantry’ I think, them he changed the name to a Clayton’s Prison. Didn’t open until about 11pm and went on all night, crazy place.

Re: help with the name of a pub
The Howardians club in Clifton Street for an after hours drink.
Most of the old bill from next door got in there as well.

Re: help with the name of a pub
Ah...memories....my favourite laces were The Pilot at the start of Bute Street....(where all the offices are now) and the Ship and Pilot down the docks....great sawdust floor places.......the latter has a new trendy name now I think....there was also another pub on a corner just up from The Pilot...can't remember the name...always packed......
