Saint Mikey Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 I thought of another old place: Burbanks (or Spermbanks as usually known). Now Junk and formerly FYEO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to agree with you there. The Manor was fantastic, especially back in the early days. Sterns was also amazing, (especially the Interdance All-Nighters) though that was always a rather expensive treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Bob Posted 20 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 20 February, 2009 Never went to Sterns but did hear lots of good stories about the club. Sterns was like a 'large-scale Manor'. It was the same kind of setting as the Manor but much grander. The main underground dance floor was awesome. The bass used to blow up the staircase as you walked down to it!

Saint_Pedro Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 Manhattan's Riverside Thursdays Raffles Shades?Escape club West Indian club Manhattan's - now there was club and a half. Used to frequent it every Thursday and Friday, followed by a visit to a cafe around the back of Bedford Place which stayed open until 3am, just so we didn'tr have to go home. Ever go to Manhattan's in Bournemouth? Completely different atmosphere, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimond Geezer Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 did anyone ever go to MLT bar..the celebration plaze or something It was indeed called Celebration Plaza, my wife celebrated her birthday in there, the birthday package consisted of a meal (that was ok as a mate of mine was head chef at the time), a bottle of fizzy stuff, a cake, a helium balloon, a picture of MLT & Mike Osman and a cassette (remember them) of Mike Osman doing stand-up. Prior to MLT owning the place it was the cattle market known as Turpins, where as I said earlier in the thread you were gauranteed a grope (at least). Thats where I met the current Mrs Geezer.

Marsdinho Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 I was at Glastonbury, watching it on a big screen in the mud and rain. Me too, stood next to some chap who banged on an upside down oil drum with a branch for the whole 90 mins....got so wet. Then went and watched my favourite band, James.

As a long established O.F. what about The Birds Nest? One of Kev Coombes' favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junction 9 Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 I was going to mention the Manor and Sterns but thought it wasn't very Soton related. have same great memories of both, especially Sterns. Feel lucky to be the age I was when it was in it's prime. Hard to explain what it was like really, you had to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
