Memories of The Stonehouse Pub

[Fitkenlike]

Beer was pretty crap though, always remember they had double D on draft. used to get the cops in a lot looking for under age drinkers as well. The effect was spoilt a bit in the day time as the roof was black. Went down hill after they closed the courtyard bit.

Ahhh.... Many's the pint I've enjoyed there in convivial company, while I was doing a "security" job a few doors away. I'd better not say where....

Just how I remember it it, but not full of young men in suits It'd be the late 70's early 80's when I frequented the Stonehouse and it used to be packed in that courtyard

 

Did guys have to wear a jacket & tie to get in clubs back then?

 

The Stonehouse was the starting point for us and we wore our suits for the nightclubs (shirts with collars, not jean/trainers rules unless you were off to the limit or rebels) but mainly we were only 17 when we started going out and we thought it made us look older.

I too was 17 when we first stated going 'up town' on a Friday night, and I used to drink ginger ale I also remember we practiced our dates of birth as being a year earlier so that we could get into clubs.

 

What was the pub called near to the Stonehouse? We used to go round 4 or 5 pubs, one of them being the Pig & Whistle, before heading to a club or Wimpey for a burger

The Museum was nearby on Orchard Street, near the raincoat shop. It's still there - now they have tables outside in Orchard Square. Decent grub..

It must be that one, but it had a different name didn't it

It was called the Museum when I became old enough to drink there in 1966 (and a bit earlier....). The 1973 Kelly's Directory lists "Museum P.H." at 25 Orchard Street.

It seems it's had several changes of name over the years
