THE FLUTER Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hey are there any old sorry, mature folk that remember the fun days of 75 and 76 in the Penthouse ? Have great affection for those days. Was studying for A Levels @ Ecclesfield School @ the time. Seem to remember Wednesday night was cheap drinks night, think it was 12 p for a drink, pint or a half. Best memory of the music was,Faith Healer,Long Version, by SAHB, Billy Porter, Mick Ronson,and a track called Leave It by Mike McGear ( Maccas younger bro, i think, ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Slightly before my time but only slightly. Don't know whether you've come across this site http://www.borracho.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/rock/index18.shtml There are some pics of the interior design of the Penthouse and although plenty of the pages and pics show people from the early 80's onwards you never know who you might recognise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushbaby Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 As I remember it, The Penthouse was the only club where the bouncers stood on the door throwing people in!! Smashing music though - Billy Porter was a great favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPRICORN_61 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Eh, owd Dot I remember on the clockroom, and chilli burgers. Those stairs though, really were like climbing Stairway to heaven, # Nights out started Wapentake, Nelson, Minerva, then on to Penthouse. I was only 16/17 then & my Dad let me stay out on Saturday nights till 1am if I stayed in 2 nights in the week... but he used to think that I was going to the Top Rank, he considered it a respectable place....

Firemansam Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Those stairs though, really were like climbing Stairway to heaven, Them stairs were deadly when you'd had a few pints. Great place though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great place though Never drunk in those days, I still don't very much now. Went out last night till the wee early hours and didn'tn drink, I was the driver and when I am not driving still don't have any. So those stairs didn't bother me then however they might now I i would probably need to rest several times going up, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
