Heavy rock pub - what was it called?


Recommended Posts

The Druids were not Hells Angels, they were a motorcycle gang who might of worn colors but always vanished if true Hells Angels were around.

Some of the older one's rode bikes and were given a sort of 'respect' but a lot of the younger one's [prospects] were just louts and could be seen on public ttransport as they didn't own a bike.

I remember 25 years ago going to a little bar it was downstairs exclusively heavy rock music dingy and small but I loved it.

Anyone remember its name.It was close by redgates toy store.It was there after too many beers I decided to leave England.

 

That is definitley the Nelson Dive Bar I was barman in there 1969-71 and we had the best jukebox in town. We had abig camoflage net strung over the ceiling. God knows what crap was in it because I can never remember it being taken down.

 

The parties and afters used to go all night sometimes, even the coppers used to come to the back door for a pint at about 2am.

 

Many times I used to straight to my day job after a couple of hours kip on one of the seats. wounldnt get away with it these days

The Minerva changed to the Yorkshire Grey, opposite the Roebuck.

The Blue Angels originated from Glasgow I think.
