Builder SC Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Worked in Romeos back in the old days behind the bar for 5 years. Can anyone remember aiden and pat the doorman or even better scarey Mark who used to sit on the reception desk at the bottom of the stairs? By the way it was haunted trust me I've been in there when it was closed and things have been thrown through the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzzie123 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Did many a pub and club in the mid-to-late eighties and here are some of my memories: West End, Glossop Road. Tetley, Tetley Mild and Skol. Upstairs bar open Friday and Saturday nights. Always rammed and they also served that sickly Skol 1080 in bottles. B-Hive, West Street. Very green with green lights, foliage and even a water feature. All-too-serious bouncers on the doors. Hornblower, off West Street. Guaranteed one exposed nipple. The lady on the pub's large sign outside flaunted herself! The rear of the pub was done out like a mock, Tudor ship. Other than that it was quite crap. West Street Hotel. Quite nice around 1988. Stones pub with comfy chairs around the edges. Totally ruined. Sinatra's - Always thought it was quite chic in here, probably due to the older patrons (more 30s than 20s). Josephine's - Decent club though a bit too much Luther Vandross. Sheffield's prettiest girls in here and who can forget Jaws on the Doors?! You could get refused entry for not tying your laces the right way round. Isabella's - White rope lighting around the dance floor and sadly, I was a frequent visitor here around 1986/7. The pub next door only served beer in half pints. Al-E-Cats - Horrible, hip-hop type dump with chemixed cabbies slobbering over beer and women in the front bar. The Roxy - Dreadful, nightclub by numbers ghetto. The carpet stuck to your shoes, the place was full of Kevin and Traceys, the smoke machine was overused and it was a pleasant sensation getting out of that place. Cairo Jax - Take it or leave it kind of club. The door men either let you in or didn't, it being a lottery which way the cards fell. Two dance floors but usually not too bad. Always a fight somewhere and with the sounds of SAW not surprising. Berlins - Used to go here Sunday evenings at one point. Lord knows why..., god wat a memory.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
