Old Adelaide nightclubs

Went to Lennies a couple of times, once i grabbed a female bouncer on the bum not realising she was one. Luckily for me she couldnt pick out from the 6 of us who did it.

Tall blonde-headed sheila?

She was blonde in a white Tshirt thats all i remember.

what was the joint on north tce called, and its not the pub that is still running but it was just up from there

[A Mum]

Geeze I lived a sheltered life as a young adult growing up in the country - local pub on a Friday and Saturday night was the closest I got to 'night clubbing'

I only went to a night club once in the city - and I remember one thing ... people, people everywhere !!..lol
Oh and walking down Rundle Mall at 6am the next morning - the same day they were putting 'father christmas' up at John Martins

[mighty_tiger_79]

well how about ya go clubbing this weekend MUM, take A DAD out for the night

[A Mum]

Umm no thanks... lol

The closest I get to 'clubbing' these days is picking my daughter up at 2am !!

(Which I know is early - my son used to get home at 5am when he went out - but - if she wants me to pick her up then 2am is the latest)

There was a website years ago (circle 1999) that had a directory of pubs and clubs in SA - but what was cool was that it had the previous names/functions they were.

Joplins upstairs was the greatest.
SAndbar (early days was awsome once ramy closed)
Players Bar was fun
time warp at heaven wed nights
The old Grand on sunday was also a filthy place to go
Planet 50c beers

Site was called needapub.com by a guy called Wolfgang (Wolfcat)
Site doesn't exist anymore, but the good old Wayback Machine lets us see it

Very crude, but it was cool at the time.

is pretty interesting too. Like reading about old pubs and what they used to be called.

One thing I found interesting:

Cumberland Arms Hotel

Established in 1846 as the Crown & Anchor Hotel, 1853 Cumberland House, rebuilt in 1884 and was renamed the Cumberland Arms in 1892. National Trust listed.

Crown & Anchor Hotel

Established in 1853 on the site of original Union Inn Arms Hotel.

Sams at the Norwood footy club, great venue, used to hit there and also Lennies and of course "The Black Rose"

I recall going in there one night, I was there for all of 5 minutes and a chick walked up to me and flat out bit me on the neck, probably wasn't the greatest pick up technique, it hurt.

[Dissident]

Yep, that was Proscenium.
