CALLING ALL 35 YEAR OLDS (PLUS)

[Dissident]

Thanks for all the replies... i reckon it could have been in the wine underground's basement... but have hazy memories that there was a large kinda foyer area before the stairs to the basement.... but then again maybe it was straight down the stairs to the basement was soooo long ago maybe those drugs in the eightees have done their job! hehehehe while we're still on the places of old anyone remember "the crypt" at salisbury or Pharos (which now houses CMI Toyota corner MacIntyre/Main North Roads?

The Wine Underground IS a basement - hence underground.
Or at least it was - before it exploded.

This is me, im 35 !
But cant help, use to live at the old Golden Grove Tavern,
as i used to live only a couple of sreets away !
Never had to Drink Drive !
So there was no need to ever go to Town !!!

'Life' at the Old Lion went pretty well for all of about 10 months in 1992 IIRC.

McMahons Tonsley was a stinker. However, was one of the few places that believed my notso student 'ID'.

Grenfell Tunnel - arrrgh!!!!

[quote="Constance_Perm"]Tavern 63? (never went there)


That was in Melbourne Street in the early 80's.

Great pick up joint that one.

Who attended city nightclubs (disco's i reckon we used to call 'em hehehee) mid to late 80's ... i am trying to come up with the name of the disco that was close to where those bombings went off yesterday... i have already ruled out The Oaks (to my knowledge this was in the Planet building before it became the planet), and it's not the Tivoli (that was much further down) ..... this joint was not to big, was in the basement and we would often go there before or after going to 'My Place' (see told ya, ya have to be old to help with this one!)..... it was somewhere to go after visiting Jules, Ambassadors (around the same era as Grenfell Tunnel, Club 69 etc) (maybe a couple of years before these were popular).... any suggestions would be greatfully accepted... the only thing ringing a bell for me is that it was four words....
the ***** ****** tavern ?? maybe but dont let this put you off from offering me other suggestions...thanks for your help.

I know the one you are talking about, but f**ked if I can remember what it was called (killed too many brain cells in the '80's), it was the first place I ever saw 2 chicks pash in public.

Ambassadors

'Club America.'

Proved beyond doubt that not every African-American has rhythm.

Yeah, remember "The Crypt".
What about these other dens of iniquity:
"Elizabeth West Rugby Club" (rough as guts venue, but every Aussie band played there)
Tivoli Hotel (now due for demolition...scene of many great gigs)
Bombay Bicycle Club (the original, that is, used to be at the Metropolitan Hotel, City)
Stagedoor (Shandon Hotel)

Remember the bearded clown who wore gold chains, a bandana and a white home-made jumpsuit with Ice-T plastered all over it?

Every time the DJ played a rap song, he would start breakdancing in the middle of the dancefloor.

Reakon he copped a few hidings in his time.

Wishing I was 35, I'll start with 70s discos - the Old Lion, Brickhouse, Sinatras in Hindley Street, Tavern 63 and Bogarts in Melbourne Street and towards the early 80s the Crypt and yes we'd venture to Jules as well as the original Toucan.

My 80s before I went to live in England was spent drinking at the Austral and the majority of my party time at Toucan 2 Hindley Street. There was also an original Heaven which was located in North Terrace downstairs which had some alternative types in which was open until morning and there was a good club at the Marryatville pub in Kensington but I can't remember what it was called. Some older pommie Harrington and bovver boot wearing types might know.

Anyone ever get to the McMahons? Heard the one at Tonsley went alright (and the Vic)??

When we were 16, 2 mates and I caught a bus all the way to the Tonsley to sneak in a get a look at Bruce Samazan and Melissa Tkautz, ..... Iwas the only one that got in!.....then we caught the last bus home.

The end

I was there - Melissa got me up on stage to dance with her - very yummy.

Saw ''The Divynyls'' at The Tiv many moons ago, still the best live Aussie show I've seen.
Was'nt the BBC opposite the market?

If were venturing into old dives from the 80's
Portabellos in Melbourne St (after the Duke closed for the night) on any night
Lark & Tinas in Hindley
Glenelg Life Savers or the Seacliff on a Wednesday night
The Cremorne on a Friday night (Street Corner Jack)
Could'nt leave out upstairs at the Arkaba (The Chunder) on a Thursday night.

McMahons used to be called Peter Jacksons, for anyone of my vintage remember "Swinger" on the first floor of the then Hotel Australia on O'Connell St.

[Magpiespower]

McMahons used to be called Peter Jacksons.

That was it! My brothers and sisters went there back in the day.

Where the hell did I get Peter Sterling's?

Too much rugby league, methinks.

[JK]

Before my time, but did anyone on here ever get to Sam's or the Bay Disco??
