I Know im not the only person on here who's sad enough to go? just thought its a bit different from any other thread, always about town centre. so this is for your thoughts on the embassy club. i went about a year ago for a couple of months and i have to admit, it was great. everything you need if you dont want to go down town. open till one. pub prices. seating area for a chat. big dance floor for a dance. classic old music the type you love to dance to when you've had a fair few. Nice area (Near Me :hihi: )
Great great great, i think anyways.

c'mon embo lovers! post your comments.

(If i dont get many replys i know your all lying :P )
Peace

Legend has it that a big fat woman used to go in there with a tattoo of a penis on her arm-make of that what you will.....:gag:

Other than that,ive only ever driven past the place,sorry...:|

I hear both sides are open now, with Cheese in the Foxwood, and Dance & Chart in the Embassy. IS it any good?

Ive been in there once, it was ok

hi there , this is my first post on this forum . i thought i must reply to the embassy thread .

my name is pete leary and i am the dj in the foxwood bar ( part of the embassy club ) my brother paul is the dj in the embassy ( club part )

its a top night on a friday and saturday . fridays i play all the old tunes and party stuff till 12am . at 10.30 we open the joining doors to the embassy room and have both rooms on the go at the same time . our paul plays charts dance and r & b till . the embassy room shuts at 1am .

starting from november i shall also be playing in the foxwood , every saturday nights too .


hope to see you all there soon

pop it on pete
;) ;) ;)

ive not been to the Embo for about 10 years !! , had some of the best nights ever in there tho (and roxys down town !!!) , sad or what :hihi: :hihi:

I lived on Scowerdons back then so could walk there after going round pubs on Birley and the Plover , had to get taxi back tho , could never stand upright after a night there !.

We all used to meet up at the Foxwood , about 10 of us , and just have a right laugh , standing in a circle singing along to Oasis at the tops of our voices , " Your my Wonderwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal " . We sounded terrible after about 10 pints , especially the lads (only joking , sorry boys !!) Those were the days !!

Lost touch with most of the lads now , we should have a big reunion , anyone who used to go in the Embo alot about 1995 - 1998 , Smit , Jock n Noz ( who both used to go out with Lisa , not at the same time tho :hihi:) are a few names that spring to mind , not seen em for years they all used to go in the Plover alot tho, PM me if any of you are reading or anyone knows any of them .

I think we all just grew up , got married , had kids n stuff n didnt go there any more , yes , the more i think about it a reunion does sound like a good idea !

ooo, i've been to the embassy (some years ago now tho) ... we use to call it F a F night ... i couldnt possibly explain that on a family forum tho :o

It used to be full of middle aged women with bleached hair and see through blouses on and young randy lads. ... we used to sit and watch .. it was like in-house entertainment! :hihi:

I am going back about 15 years now ... so its probably changed completely. :D

both the foxwood and embassy had a big refit start of this year . looks quite nice . there is a disco in the foxwood saturday night and the crowd that go in are ok .

Sure you dont mean Grab a Granny night?...used to be so funny watching the 50 year old women pulling the 20 year old lads!!!

I used to work there about 12 years ago...when Darren was manager..and the bar staff were all **** heads lol...used to work in the Foxwood till that shut,then went up into Embo,finished whenever the last people had been chucked out..cleaned up a bit....then we all stayed till about 5am getting ******,eating pizza..and having a good laugh,and i was 16 at the time!!!!

Was a very good laugh...great atmosphere...i last went in about 3 years ago...and there was no atmosphere..found it pretty boring..that was in the Foxwood..didnt go in Embo

A mate of mine goes in there a lot..and the girls i work with are always there on a friday night,and they love it!!

I may have worked with you! I collected glasses there about 10-13 years ago when Darren was the manager. Fridays nights were great entertainment watching all those desperate blokes trying to Kop off in time for the last dance and a s**g round the back. lol

I was also a glass collector/washer...names Michael...ring a bell?

Yeah, its' Steve here.
Did your mum work behind the bar?

Steve D..wont say the rest,just in case u dont want me too lol
Yeah she did..Linda

I thought it might have been you when you said you were only 16 when you were there. Small world!

Always wondered what it might be ike to go back in one night.

Actually,i was a few weeks shy of my 16th...thats why i had to stop in the Pot wash!!
It took me bloody years to go back in there...totally different atmoshpere now,everyone looked bored...and compared to what it was like when we were there,it was empty!!

I wont say his name, but do remeber the other pot man who worked with us, name began with A. Tall lanky bloke with a major chip on his shoulder!

You could say what you liked about Darren, but he knew how to run a pub/club. When he left the place started to go down hill.

I do remember A....i once saw him a few years later in the Arundel...still a tosser!!!

You remember B..the other Collector? Fancied himself a bit too much?!!

Yeah,Darren was a bit of a nob at times...but that place was always jammed!!
I remember him having plenty of arguements with his G/F at the time..funny stuff!!

I remember fancying the pants off a girl named Claire..and also Lucy,who worked in the cloak room...very nice lol

I worked there when mick was landlord and pete was assistant manager **** me how many years ago was this ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?Got to be18 years ago i was glass collector in both sides we used to where that horrid uniform green pin stripes with green dicky boh lmfao. It was same then used to be called grab a granny n8 think dj was kevin and the functions that was there you could guarantee they would be f8tin pmsl until big mark "sparky" ha ha name ses it all.I remeber one of the bar staff told ruth she was top old lady think she will av retired now feet up and chillin lol. Anyway laters i still live local but dont go in there much mainly birley and sherwood.
