He would even sometimes leave the bar too and join in drinking with the locals.<br />One lunchtime session when time was up, my squad were still drinking away being the last ones lagging behind, when suddenly a shower of glass rained down on us. It was Pete the barman who threw a tumbler at the nearby wall - just his way of saying "get a move on"!!!<br />The music description is accurate...pop, rock and punk and everyone got on great. 3 examples off the top of my head are - Police "Roxanne", Genesis "Follow you follow me", Buzzcocks "Ever fallen in love".<br />That takes you back to 1978.<br />Curt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-68680547106589917172012-12-05T06:47:48.043-08:002012-12-05T06:47:48.043-08:00Absolutely loved this pub (and also the Centre Bar...Absolutely loved this pub (and also the Centre Bar which wasn't far away).

I think What i can remember about the inside was dark if not black walls and a round center bar,not the best of pints, a crazy but really so original concept for Dundee, when it closed i definitely missed it.Ex Balmedienoreply@blogger.com
