City Vaults,members only

[Ged]

Great pics Joe. Used to go the vaults/courtyard pub then it became Liberty City - all the time. Could go through the back and it led to the Croc on Harrington St. My arl mate Paddy Musc was the DJ there - c1982/3.

Vague memories of going the vaults myself early 80's. Aaaah if only I could remember those glorious nights through the alcohol fuelled haze that was my memory at the time.

I was never off the space invaders in there. That other one too where the asteroids or rocks came at you from different angles and when they went off the screen to your left, they'd reappear from the right. You had to be on your guard. You could also press a button that'd put a shield around you and they had a tabletop version in Scarlets bar.

Would that have been the video game commonly known as asteroids
