Oh I forgot all about the Landfall, isnt that the boat? It had one of those deep sea diving suits/helmets in there? I only went there once. I also forgot to mention I went to The Coconut Grove once too. and back in the 60s went to The Black Cat in London Road on the one occasion.

The Coconut Grove - another forgotten memory!
We went there a few times as an old schoolmate was on the door.

Ah remember it well....Mickey Finn and chicken in a basket...or was it scampi.

'forgotten memory'....the more I say it the more wrong it sounds.

I went to the Squires too !, and every Sunday to the "Lines" the old Cheshire Lines club in Southmead Road Allerton! if I remember rightly there was also Johns place in Garston, it was a case of knock three times to be admitted , great after hours drinking there !! happy days...

Nice one Steve,one thing i miss is the Liverpool humour,the odd spot was hard to get in during the sixties but was a regular haunt of mine 75/76;also the Cabin was a good club,the owner owned Llannbedre hall in Ruthin and members and friends could go there for the weekend,now that was party time,no locks on the doors ,there was also the Rembrandt club(lower down from ugleys) if you wanted to impress.

That old guy on the door of the "Cabin" could be a bit of a cranky git,sometimes,but it was his club,so......!

...the odd spot was hard to get in during the sixties but was a regular haunt of mine 75/76;

Then we'll know each other by sight - I was pretty much in there every Thursday and Saturday in those days - often Fridays as well, which was a quiet night.
I married one of the barmaids - we're still together.

Went there the first time with a couple of Everton & Liverpool players. The next time I went by myself but Terrry and Bobby on the door remembered me - I'm very tall. Never had to pay to get in.

Hi all,What about us drinking and driving in the 60s, the mates and i would think nothing of driving out to the Neptune ,Preston brook,Carlton Warrington,Salter Weaverham,Paradise club Wigan,The Garrick in Leigh,The Regency Widnes even the twisted wheel Manchester,a gang of us would travel from Liverpool on a Sunday night to the Cherry tree and Red admiral in Runcorn (why i can't remember),it might not seem far now but no motorways then,let's here some more cheers Johnny
