THE BARRACUDA INTERIOR - LATE 70'S - #2

The 2nd image taken upstairs in the Barracuda shows one of the bars on the far side. This little corner just one of the many nooks & crannies scattered throughout the interior.
You can see other pictures of the Barracuda in my October 2008 Archives.

    The bar actually looks pretty cool! Certainly not what I remembered it as. I was another bi-monthly regular but never at the weekend! Have memories of Mondays being pretty busy due to it being the day the P.O. paid out the family allowance lol.

      I used to get that comment a LOT... Even from staff in the various nightclubs who sometimes looking at my photos of 'other' clubs would comment 'looks a great place to go for a staff night out' not spotting it was where they work! Who says the camera doesn't lie :-)

      PS forgot to say this picture is (my back to the seating over looking main dancefloor) in fact the main downstairs bar, to the left of the bar is the alcove seating/table and closer to camera on the right is the circular sunken seating/table (under main stair)

    I was an attendee of 'The Barracuda' nurses nights, medics nights etc. Sometimes we would be really impoverished and fill our glasses with water. I also remember an old doorman (I think he was called James) who wore a red jacket and bowtie tux. He sometimes let us in for nothing on the odd nights it was quiet. And yes, I did run away from the iranian students. Happy, happy days !

    Having worked in the Stage Door/Samanthas/Bloomers. and the BABARARACUCUDADA.Its with fond memories that I see the pics.. and the comments. I moved on to Mcgonnagalls and then Jack Daniels before heading north..Cado Belle at the Cuda and Simple minds at Samanthas have to be 2 great music memories,but Grab a Granny night or hairdresser parties have to leave a lasting impression on a wee Dundee lad.
