NO NEED TO SHOUT Janice ;) , but yeah i remember going to 'Poxy's'. I would go down every week and can even remember when 'Hit man and Her' was there!!.

I worked there when hitman and her was on. What a place!There was rock night on the first Monday of the month and then there was gay night. I remember Malcolm the gay DJ he was so cool. Craig was his assistant (he had dark hair with a long pony tail).

Wot a dive that place was....feet sticking to the carpets....watered down beer....trouble almost nightly.....dark & dingy corners where fellas were all over the girls.....
Fantastic days!!!!!

god yeah, How can I forget the sticky carpets. They reckon it was haunted by Barry Nobel is that alright for yez!

Yeah Beer 60p Spirits 70p is that all right for yerz

That was the place in which I decided that disco was garbage and there must be a better place to spend a saturday night. Back in those days it was called Steely's and was the club all the novice under age club goers knew they'd get in to. Nick named the cattle market as the guys used to circle the place first downstairs and then up eyeing up all the heifers on the dance floor from the vantage point of the first floor. Watered down over priced drinks, truly horrible food and bouncers who were often to be seen wading through the crowd barging people out of the way in their rush to jump on some-one. A rite of passage for so many teens though that was Steely's/Roxies

We had to wear hideous hawaiian shirts yuk! I remember all the staff used to meet for a drink before starting work at ten, one night we decided to go to Cairo's instead of turning up for work. I always used to get confused in there when I was drunk because of the two rooms.

wow what a lot of different opinions I loved it, to be honest I married a bouncer who worked there so it could'nt have been that bad and we are still happily married.
did anyone go when the Drifters was there ?

My mates and I, would visit Roxy's quite regular ...
-Because we were considerably underage and had no problem's getting in!

I remember it well:
-Dancing around Handbags!
-The ‘Extra Late Bus’ home!

It was 'Proper Dive!'


The place was always ‘Packed Out' though.
Always busy with:

The ‘excessively inebriated, Very Young and totally Immobile,'
(i.e. Throwing-up all over themselves)

Or

'The ‘Ageing Married Man' type …
-Who would be hiding under the tables, when lights were turned on at closing time!

Erm …
It was Ok at the time! (Lol)
I prefer a more ... 'Refined,' atmosphere now I’m an older!

Although I do admit;
I dearly miss the, 'Cheeky little Chat Up' lines ...
-Of ‘The Resident Greasy Monkey.’
(Guy with Pony-tail/ Mullet influence -style hair)


Awww! ... Memories' ...
-They Light the corners of my mind.'

As a student I remember queing for hours to get in on a Wednesday night during the early 90's.

I used to go to the student nights every week and being a silly teen me and a mate used to stand on the stairs (near the middle bar) and pull bits of the wallpaper off. The following week when we went back the patch of wallpaper had been replaced! This happened every single week without fail!

one for the grandkids eh! wild days:|

I used to go to the Roxy teenage Tuesday night in 68/69 - no booze and had to leave at 9pm to be in for 9.30. Worked there (underage) in 1971 as a second job to fund my first holiday to Spain, had to wear a geen velvet miniskirt and waistcoat for my sins! Roxy's used to be used popular with large companies who used to hire the place for Christmas and other functions. Memories of good tips and free meals from those nights!

I used to go to the gay night at Roxy. They played some good music. Used to dance my socks off.

I first went when it was 'Steelys', then it changed to 'Saturdays' for a short time, and then to 'Barry Nobels Roxys' but it was always the same. I don't care what anybody says, it was THE best night club ever!:thumbsup:

this was a pure piece of history every weekend you would go out vow not to end up there 1.30 in the morning you was there and had been for some time i remember the sunday sport roadshow wet t shirts and foam partys using washing up liquid the highlight was d:ream first time round happy days:hihi:

yes plenty of laughs in roxy!! it was so big you could hide from boring blokes trying to "get off " with ya!! also parytied in cairo jaxs that was excellent at time remeber seein eddie kidd there once.

Now forgive me if I sound old or if my memory is fading but wasn't the original name of this venue The Top Rank Suite.

That's correct my man! :thumbsup:

I worked there 1997/98. I was a sheltered young lady until the sights I saw........

It has to be one of the most favorite clubs at the time. I used to take my Gf home around 10.30pm and then carry on the bus to go to Roxy's I wasn't always a good boy.:hihi:

i used to go to the rock nights there.. everyone i knew was always there, always sat in the same corner.. it was a good night out..
