Beefsteak 305 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 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??) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mr rob t 11 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who could forget his string vests and shorts when serving behind the bar and prices marked in £.s.d. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Russ 2 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
