Hang on, isn't red square the downstairs part of Rio's? and the upstairs part is the Palace?

The Royal admiral was the dodgy joint next door, the cage dancers used to come into Jules after work :lol:

If you want to go quickly, go alone.

/:) Yeah right.

I used to frequent "The Tunnel" underneath the big black building in Grenfell Street. It was good because they used to do $1 shooters :D

Back in the day, they used to have the shuttle that went between it, and the Mansions, to cater for their less-sober patrons :D

Mostly headed to Ambassadors on a saturday night after footy tho. That place rocked !!



Never liked the Planet - refused to go there.

How could I forget Players - a paradise for young chickys with the who's who of footy players working there when it first opened..

I had a pretty good strike rate there ;)

Who didn't...An amazing establishment! Man I miss this place :(

I went on a Club Cruiser about 12 years ago (I think)... Players, Rios and Big Ticket were three of the venues.
