skippy Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I went there in the 60's, there were 3 bars on 3 different levels from what I remember in those days, called in for a pint in 1990, one bar and scruffy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geotom Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 When we used to go up town we used to meet in the 'Gay Paris', before going off to the other pubs and finishing off in the Buccaneer, I can remember when the Kings Head? on Commercial St shut down( where the gays used to go)they started going in the Gay Paris', at first their was a bit of an atmosphere, but eventually we got on OK with them, and they were a good laugh.
