when barry noble first opened it they was giving beer away. It was something like 30 p a pint, it was cheap but crap. I remember one night malibu was 30 p a shot everyone was slaughtered (especially me). Ah the good old days. :bigsmile:

Did anyone ever meet their girl/boyfriend at Roxy's (or Cairo's)?

 

Met my first husband in Roxys - Was at a Nurses ball in Nov 1979 altho neither of us were nurses - I was stood at bottom of stairs and as he came down he poured his drink on my head - and we were inseperable for the next eight years!!!! Loved Roxys but does anyone remember it being called Steeleys????

I only have memories of this place from roughly about 1996/7 (yes I was 16 and, yes they let me in woohoo - not as if it was hard though..) I suppose it was ok, just the carpet was real sticky and it, er..smelled.

 

But, for a 16 year old, it was a top night!

[Grandad.Malky 11]

In my time it was called steeleys, late seventies, end of clam rock and the start of disco shortly followed by punk rock.

 

I can remember being on the huge dance floor with everybody doing a pogo and thinking the floor was going to collapse and swallow us all.

 

A few years later when I was more “sophisticated” and dating it was definitely Romeo and Juliet’s, the place for couples rather than “pulling”.

 

Crazy Daisy was good for a night out with the lads as was the Bier Keller followed by the little club upstairs next door, was it called scamps, failing that there was always Max-a-millions.
