I remember it early 60's. Hoover reps used it for their meetings and I went there each day for my dinner. I can't remember anyones name but it was a good meal

Did it become Pat's Pantry in the 70s?

I only ever went in the Teenage tavern on Pinstone Street but my father warned me about what would happen if I went in the El Mambo! Was it as bad as it was supposed to be?

Police didn't close it down because they knew it was where they could probably find who they were looking for.

I think it closed down shortly after an article in the News of the World.

There is already a discussion about the El Mambo. on Sheffield History & Expats

Worth a search.
