Coffee bars of the 60's

It must have been one of a very few "late night venues" in the '60's as there were no night clubs then (that I recall). My brother spent just about every night in there.

 

It used to fill up after chucking out time at the Heart Beat and Locarno. It had a bagatelle game machine, I think that it had a basement room as well.

If I remember correctly when you left Baileys on Bank St you could nip next door into the casino, which if memory serves was open till 4 am. But only for coffee.

 

Was the Heartbeat obove Queens rd ice rink?

Owned by Mick Housley, I believe. Good late night venue

 

I was pretty sure that I was correct, despite not wearing my specs. I think in all honesty that things were a lot more relaxed then. There didn`t seem to be as much binge drinking, if that`s the correct term.

This was a boutique,very very trendy, was there a coffee shop there too, I dont remember there being one.

 

Does anyone remember the coffee shop on the Manor Top? I cant remember its name, it was next to the Manor Welfare, on the opposite side to Manor Library, there was a driveway in between the Welfare which led down behind it. The coffee shop was set back from the row of shops it was attached to.

 

I was a regular in the mid sixties. It did nice coffee in glass cups and had a jukebox

 

my parents met there!!
