Crap Pubs!

[Beefsteak 305]

Ayup Neil and welcome to this jolly throng

Which was the Prince Albert (Was it on the Palaise side of the Vic centre next to boots??)

[mr rob t 11]

It certainly was, i used to live there. Me and my mate used to rent a place together and then he went and got the job as the landlord of said pub, so he went and made me ass` manager so i could live there as well. I already had a job but used to work the odd night time for him and get paid for it, anyway the flat was on the roof of boots and thats how big the balcony was. The best bar was downstairs just as you walked in.

I too spent many a night in the "Tavern in the Town" also the Prince Albert was a favourite before going to the Palais

Neither of them sold " real ale " though,did they ?

The Prince Albert always seemed to be playing The Bee Gees on their juke box (Saturday night fever album) when ever I was in there

It's because of that white suit you were wearing Beefy. ;-)

Another one that spent a lot of time in The Prince Albert (and later on The Dog and Partridge across the road.) The Albert kind of changed it's look/name? at one point and started having discos downstairs. Time for a sharp exit...

Did anyone used to use Tony Green's(?) pub (which I have completely forgotten the name of) across from the Palais? Remember he was a Notts fan and used to have a season ticket for himself and his dog!

Greeny had the New Market and later The Britannia on Huntingdon Street. Who could forget his string vests and shorts when serving behind the bar and prices marked in £.s.d.

'Dodger' Green, was an Ex Notts Cop

I am not sure how he got his nicxkname?

Is The Palais still there and open ? During my Nottingham days (1975-1986) I think I only ever went once on Saturday night - with a guy who I worked with and some mates.My working colleagues and his mates lived on Clifton Estate and they told me that if the bouncers asked where I lived not to say I lived there.I was living in Wollaton at the time so I didn't have to ! Mick, Beefy or Den I'm sure you will be able to enlighten me here.Thanks.

It's still there and open, Russ. It's called 'Oceana' these days. They've changed the name back and forth a time or two.

Thanks Stu.I visited the website.Seeing the pic brought back memories.I'm not surprised the building is still there as it maybe listed - Grade 2,maybe ? I sometimes used to go on Wednesday nights - not often,just every now and again.

Moving on can't say I'm a fan of Yates, not to keen on Fat cats or Squares just off the Market Square, not fan big of the Stage or the Blue Bell on Upper Parliament Street.
