Marky Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Don't recall Mannequins, where was that mate? Mannequins was after our time Jimmy. We'd already left by then. It was in the back Sneddon opposite the back entrance to Gilmour Street station. Wasn't a club or a pub before as far as I remember.

Armchair Bob Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hated nightclubs. Just a place to go that serves drink when the pubs were shut. Always found Edinburgh more civilised in that regard compared to Glasgow - later pub opening times. Fury Murrays, the Cathouse, the Garage. In Helensburgh, Clockworks, Splash (or whatever name they were going by - seemed to change each time there was a stabbing). In Aberdeen, Amadeus. I have a theory too that any nightclub that ends in an 's' is a shytehole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Really only the Galleon Inn in Seamill. Many great night in there, but had a habit of being run into the ground by folk who didn't have a clue what they were doing. When I started it was run by a woman who let 4/5 dogs just run around the place wild.... She then left to take over the Tam O'Shanter pub down Maybole/Girvan way. After her came a guy who moved his whole family in, but only experience he had was running a chip shop in Saltcoats or something..... Can still remember the blank look on his face when after 4 months we asked him how often the cleaned the beer pump pipes...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Crystals (Bruce Hotel, EK) - liked that as the music was leftfield by EK standards - although I was temporarily barred by Clr Archie Buchanan for the heinous crime of falling asleep one night. Gemini, Downtown Miami and Stork Club were are as horrific as their names suggest. To be honest I hated (and still hate) nightclubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered why it was so friendly in there before I was told why by a Kirkcaldy punter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Glasgow's "most violent nightclub". The building that housed it rather conveniently went up in smoke after MG had been closed down.

Anyone go to Caspers or Rioz in Ardrossan......# or Flicks in Kilwinning. To be fair though from my memory it was an urban myth that it moved while you were dancing. Any time I went there, they cleared the dance floor before moving it to another level.I went to Rios and Caspers in the same night when we were down at my mate's cousin's in Atdrossan. Some cow behind the bar in Rios gave me a KB (as in refused service) after I have successfully (if surprisingly) made it past the bouncers. Went to Caspers instead and had a great night! To be fair to the barmaid in Rios, when I was 17 I looked about 12. Bouncer should have got his jotters :-) Edited December 8, 2015 by Marky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
