If you could reopen 1 pub or nightclub

[Nutsin]

Which one would it be and why? Kings in Seven kings for me. Use to love the boxing and the comedians on a Sunday afternoon. Saturday night wasn’t a bad night either.

Don Ravioli I was 80’s was a lovely pub especially winter time Ther is some work going on there now think it might be residential

"fraser Nah, not AS. Me cousins had the TKO gym for years after the Echoes days."

[fraser]

"Wanstead - Echoes was good, are you Andy's cousin then?"

"Chesters in southend , great night of rare groove in 1987 , then acid house turned up and everything changed"

[Oh dear]

"I too played at the Spotted Dog, either Sunday League Cup Finals or against Clapton. It used to be a fine non-league ground, now almost derelict, although Clapton FC still stagger on there. Gone are the Isthmian Premier League days, Div 2 South of the Eastern Counties League. They do have a hard-core following of anarchist loons called the Clapton Ultras as an away following."

Can concur regarding The Grapes still being open ... was in there with Mrs Soldo a couple of months ago... not been for a few years so was shocked to see that bloody statue in the Thames (full tide)... luckily I had not had too much to drink... think it was the idea of the owner (Sir Ian McKellan)... anyway lovely riverside boozer... bit better than the Ramsgate but behind the Whitby for me.

Hammer205 My great uncle Stan had the coach and horses in the 60’s or early 70’s. Still got a few bits from the pub up in the loft from when he died. Went in there a few times late 90’s but was a shithole by then. Will prob be turned into a mosque if it hasn’t already. Black lion over the road is still alright. Decent seafood stall outside as well.

Echoes at Bow flyover. (me cousin was running it and Centreforce etc…). And the Aunt Sally (Burdett road) hosted some rave nights.

[fraser]

"Space in Ibiza was my favourite club there. I didn't know Bora Bora was finished. Still plenty of decent clubs around and lots of good rave parties, in fact there are more than ever."

His Dad was at St. Bonaventures when I was there. A couple of years younger than me.

"I played on Clapton football ground in a cup final as a young kid. We lost to Riverhawks. Cunts always beat us, they were fucking good though. Jimmy Tibbs Jr played for them, he was a good footballer when young. Likable kid too."

[norwaytips]

"Spotted Dog, in Upton Lane. A really old pub, with a lot of history and a football ground. Sentimental reasons too. My first pint and playing for Clapton youth team."

Darlo Debs We used to go the Two puddings late 80s and 90s mostly after West Ham games but occasionally for a trip out. Others in the Plaistow area we used to frequent included the Railway Toby Tavern and Canteen We also ended up in the Beckton arms once or twice. I think I've done most of the pubs in Stratford now which are ok but match days normally just stop off around Liverpool Street or Farringdon these days.

[oioi]

The Grapes is still open.

[Tomshardware]

Dukes Chelmsford.

[hammer205]

Pub coach and horses in Plaistow Clubs Stop outs in Ilford The Empire Leicester sq(1st club I went to) used to have resident band playing as well as the sounds of the time

[Iron Duke]

The Cellar Bar in Romford. I’m assuming it’s no longer there. They used to have a good mod/northern soul night.

[BRANDED]

Ronnie Scotts is still open.

[Texas Iron]

The Grapes… Scotch of St James… Ronnie Scott’s

[Darlo Debs]

Gary Strodders 2.58 21st Feb I was gonna put a shout in for The Two Puddings oh and The Green Man in Stratford. When did you used to go to the Puds? Only went to Flappers once didn't really like it but had many a good night in Benjy's.

[Council Scum]

Telepathy at the Wax Club for me. But Paradise Club would be another.
