I don't think the location needs explaining? everyone can remember Pepi's surely. If only for their sponsorship on the front of such a fine City shirt !
It was very upmarket in Pepis, I once had a topless lap-dancer turn up and do a turn at the table between the main course and desert.
Just spotted this picture (on Hull: The Good Old Days), it's the Taverners Bar at Queens (long before it became Pozition), I can't remember it looking like this, so I suspect it was before my time... please log in to view this image
I remember it being like that when i was at college across the road, which would have been about 1981-85. We would spend a few post lunch hour lessons sat in those very booths instead of going back....
That was the second pub I ever got served in, the first being Empress about an hour before. It was a midweek afternoon and I should have been at the FE college across the road. I seem to remember it was a Punk serving behind the bar and he was chatting away to a couple of old blokes sitting at the bar in flat caps. It must have been '89/90.
I think I read somewhere in the last few days that Ronaldo drinks in the Foredyke pub. No idea what it's like for a night out.
They have missed Gothenburg The famous coffee club come drinking den come prossy club come mugged sailor club I use to go there after a night in scamps
Monte Carlo Midland street King Arthurs Tattooist not far away. Great days. Arthur used to give me a free tattoo if i went to shops for him
I also remember it as above, last day of college at Christmas there was always a good piss up in the Taverners bar. ( had to use the side entrance to get in ) Also the last pub before Spiders.
I do remember a shot lived club called Reflection there. Here's Queens back in the day... please log in to view this image
Yeah it was the Flamingo club Stan. My aunt used to waitress there and my uncle was the compère, they lived next door to us. Every night they used to come and beat the **** out if each other, and as my cousins, three lads, got older they'd try to intervene and subsequently got their **** beaten out of them too. Happy daze.
Surprised there's only been one very brief mention on here of the Gondola Club. That was the place to be in the early 1960's, and it featured many of the top groups of the time. The Hull Uni Saturday night "dance" was another hotspot. I met my wife there when a mate asked me if I would "take the other one" dancing with a girl he'd met the previous week. The other one and I are still going strong 50 years later!
I remember football team mates of mine went in mermaid and schooner and a regular Friday night was a walk to "Top House"(real name?) in Hessle looking for a fight.
