Ha, none taken, half of them I liked, I'd expect a wide range on here, and some really old ones that I wouldn't know.Quote:

Fridays Ceedars hotel if giving town a swerve
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.

What was the small club just down from the Mill stadium, opposite it, you walked down to steep as hell stairs, bar on the left, DJ at the rear, walked though that and upstairs to alternative stuff ( punk / goth types ) it was fairly hard techno downstairs
was it the square club ? ? ?
interesting to see similar aged people on here, you can tell the ages by the places you went
Gingers, Raffles (Scuffles), The Camelot and Stoneleighs (my personal favourite)
I liked the Tom Tom club and Coco Savannahs as well but it was full of Cardiff people who looked down on us Valley Boys
Castle BarQuote:

Anyone remember a restaurant in Charles Street called something like San Pauli ? The entrance was down a few steps and the signage was an illuminated yellow arch. Great steak and onions in there.
Yeah sometimes called Radcliffs too, forgot that sweat box, upstairs they used to pump Amal nitrate out through the air con on certain days…some mental nights in there late 88/89Quote:

model inn, occasionally
metros, for the rave nights
old Orleans, 2 for 1 cocktail nights were fun and we felt sophisticated :hehe:
I'll Add the Hippo and Time Flies to that ( but we have chatted about them in the past )
Downtown was our meeting place, some of the Bus and me of the Train
Philly for the occasionally night with Students
Queens Vaults for 2 bottles of K Cider poured in a pint glass, for when you really wanted to hammer it
On a Sunday afternoon, Captains Wife in Sully and Inn at the deep end in Penarth
Yup, Radcliffes, some bouncing nights in that place, Hip hop, drum n bass, early trance. Agree with you about Toucan club as well. I must have come across you back in the day :thumbup:Quote:
