BillyWhiz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 the Dove and Rainbow was also known for a time as the "Tut' n' Shive" or something, ("Tap 'n' Spile"?perhaps) wasn't it? I remember it years ago, in my drinking days with the half-a-caravan serving hatch, but even through the name change, I still called it the D&R! lol Hi PT - the Tap 'n' Spile was at the bottom of Waingate.

Slightly off topic but 'Plain Talker' you remind me of the Little Britain character called 'mrs vicar', only appeared in the odd show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhippy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi PT - the Tap 'n' Spile was at the bottom of Waingate. Indeed it was for a few years, before becoming the Tap 'n' Barrel. I remember the old landlord from Harrogate when he ran the Tap 'n' Spile there in the very early 90's, which was just about the time I was first actually legally allowed to buy beer. It was the first place I drank "Titanic Wreckage". Just reminiscing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yog Sothoth Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I like the Dove and Rainbow. Great beers and some ace music, and a good old spit 'n' sawdust feel to it. Reminds me of a mutated version of the revered Duck and Drake in Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky2 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 If as Harryhippy says that there was another Dove & Rianbow then that must have been it but to be honest I don't remember it being called that. If he is right in what he says about the name it wasn't demolished, it is now the rear entry to the Bankers Draught, it is on the left hand side at the top of the alley way up the side of Argos.
