Off Topic 10 Notorious Hull Nightspots

I left Hull when I was 18 so I don't know many of these places. I did used to go to a disco in Whitefriargate in the late sixties though, 100yds on the left down an alley. Anyone know what that was called?

 

Kon-Tiki?

 

Kon-Tiki Club, Whitefriargate

Another name for ‘Discoteque’, also referred to as Disco Kon Tiki locally. There was later a Kon Tiki suite within Bali Ha`i for functions etc., which some will remember as a separate venue.

 

Another notorious one was Scamps, I think that's they called it.

 

got that on post 5 matey - was opposite Manchester Hotel / Trog Bar - Hoffbrauhaus was on the lower floor with Scamps above - if you wanted glassing, go to Scamps - both burnt down years ago on the first night there was no-one staying over in the flat - hmmm

 

Errr

Conflicting views on the location of Monte Carlo Cafe
Dr Stanley and Charon seem to disagree whether it was Middleton/Spring Bank or Midland/Anlaby Rd
Any deciding votes ( I would guess Anlaby Rd as I sort of thought it was round there ... but not sure why)

Cheers

 

Henry's is. Ye Telstar should be. I copped off with a bird once from there and went back to her flat. It was one of those flats on Bransholme that was above a walk way. I was banging away and there was a banging on the floor anarl. I said what the **** is that banging. "Oh its just my boyfriend dont mind him"!!!
He was underneath on the footpath banging with a piece of two by four.
I was gonna fuxk off as soon as the deed was done but stayed till about 5 in the morning after it had gone quiet...

 

Thanks chaps, that was the one.

 

remember the Kontiki suite at Bali Hi, damn pawsh that was for functions, lol, can`t say I remember the original though

 

And rightly so.

 

the one in George Street was originally called Malcolms - there was a dance floor down stairs and a stage upstairs for live bands - remember watching Mott the Hoople there

 

henrys on anlaby rd.now that was scary !

 

Ha yes think it was called Oddessy when it burnt down, used to have telephones on the tables.

 

I was a gold star member of Odysssey. The DJ was called Carl Christian. Real name Carl Plum...

We sure do have a lot of fires in Hull dont we...

 

maybe our 'most famous' DJ was Kelly Vhora at Baileys in the early / mid seventies - appeared on TOTP a few times

 

I vaguely remember the fire at odyssey as my dad was injured when a ceiling collapsed on him.

 

Walked past Room the other day, or what used to be Room. It's just been converted into flats.

I used to love going in there aged 18.

 

Remember the Odessey fire. Which also ****ed the short lived and ill-fated Dingwalls did it not?

Liked Odessey but loved Dingwalls.

Saw Wilco Johnson there about …'83.

Beyond sensational.

Just beyond it. The guy is a ****ing genius.

 

Lot of things in Hull seem to burn down...
