CookieGuy 1 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Can anybody help me remember a name of a pub? It was located in the City center,somewhere behind The Tavern in The Town if I remember rightly(the road leading from the Market Square towards the Theater Royal).It had a medieval theme,you went down some stairs to get in and there was a well at the bottom with a skeleton in it! I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called and it's now 'doin' me 'ed in' I should also add that it was around 1987-1990ish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zab 47 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I think you're both talking about the same place, it's now been knocked down and replaced by a shop/office. It was more or less next door to what is now Selectadisc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BAZZER 10 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Talking of 'themed' pubs,,,, we worked for a brewery that were doing 'themed' pubs out of town. The first was (I think) SEA WORLD - it 'featured' a shark bursting through a wall in the lounge,,,, The second was (another think) JUNGLE WORLD - it featured a lion bursting through the wall,,,, Can't recall: where they were how long they lasted if they did any more. They were garbage places even before they werre opened ! Baz ((will copy this to a new thread)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Vaguley remember a pub (Where the old classic cinema was) called Camelots . I never went in though The Camelot Club / the old Hippo / The Bomb was on Bridlesmith Gate. Robin Hood Tavern was built & knocked down where the Classic Cinema was , which is now the walk in entrance of the Euro car park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 There was/is a pub "The Sea around us" somewhere near Loughborough? massive tanks as "windows" like being in a sub,going bact to 1960's though. I thought that blitz themed pub was The Moot Hall corner of friar lane? !rotfl! I know we shouldn't laugh, not sure if true or a myth but my mum always maintained they eventually found the body of the landlord in the wrecked Burtons tailors across the road, for days people had thought it was a shop window dummy!

philby 21 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 as the classic cinema i saw "hanger 18" there in about 1980, followed by "beverley hills cop" about four years later. as the robin hood tavern, in the late 80's they had a heavy metal disco on saturday afternoons the dj was none other than freddy ballinger, the guy who bombarded radio trent with his system to try to get a job there.

sharonfrench72 0 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Robin Hood Tavern. Went down the stairs to the bar. Or fell. Usually the last pub stop before Zhivagos. Remember the floors in the bar being extremely sticky and never used the toilets there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
