Wasn't to long ago when the adelaide collapsed. We had to use fitzgeralds after the match, weren't the same like, same as old orleans. We got barred out of there just for applauding a shearer goal

I was gutted when the Haymarket went and then they stuck Old Orleans at the other end, i'm sure they could have figured out in the plans to leave the Haymarket. Never like the Orleans place and i see it's even changed it's name.
Talking of old pubs, Morpeth has lost my first drinking hole and good pub, the old red bull to make way for a bloody roundabout. 200 years there has been a pub on the land, the end of an era and many a drunken night.

That was the Waterloo, just at the junction with Westgate road, I remember passing it in a car with a couple of mates and there was a sign outside saying Newcastles only topless bar, we turned back round and parked up only to find it was being demolished and the roof was off it...lol.

Aye that was it cheers,and Bob Monkhouse then opened a nightclub just a few yards up from there - cannot recall the name of that one either !!!
Back in my Bath Lane college days we used to go and watch the strippers at a bar near the bottom of Westgate Road. The name escapes me on this one as well.
Anyone mentioned the Lion and Lamb,Percy St yet ?

I know my uncle managed the black garter and the lowther but he also managed a pub on the hill a little way up on the same side as tilleys, it got pulled down to make way for the new road. would i be right in thinking it was called the george and it was a bass pub?

What about the " canny lad ", that was a good bar, met my wife in there so I have good and bad memories of the place, we used to frequent the upstairs bars around the green market as well , Cats above Butlers, Jumpers above the Blackett Arms, Lords above the Fish bar.

John Andrew "MARIO" Cunningham, Barry Ford,These were the good old days back in the late 60's and 70's with no knives, drugs, proper bars with no glitz and glamour....
