DRINKS AT THE TAY HOTEL - 1980'S

This was taken somewhere in the Tay Hotel sometime in the 80's.
A bit vague, I know, but I can't figure out which part of the hotel it could be.
I thought at first it might be upstairs in the Junction 9/Club Feet area, but I don't remember the bar being decked out as a frilly stage set, so I guess it must be some other function room in the hotel.
Someone may recognise the bar staff in the picture, looking a bit like Punch & Judy behind there, so with a bit of assistance we may be able to piece it together.

ANGUS HOTEL INTERIOR - #2

The top picture is the Coffee Lounge, where I bet many business deals have been discussed.

The lower picture is the Cocktail Lounge, where I bet many businessmen have been pissed!

The hotel, of course, wasn't just for the pleasure of out-of-towners, we locals had a bit of fun in there too. I've been to quite a few gigs at the Angus, as well as an occasional private function.

Disco action too, catering for varying tastes, with the likes of The Neoteric Disco, Mike Short's Disco, and even the Cranked Up Disco has rattled the Angus Balcony Bar!

TAYPARK HOTEL - 1960's

Taypark Hotel was in Broughty Ferry and its location meant that it had a very nice view overlooking the Tay.
The 60's illustration at the top shows that its ample grounds went right down to the river's edge.

Incidentally, these very grounds were once used for a photo shoot with The Rolling Stones back in 1965.
As you can see from the photo above, which also dates from the 1960's, its interior was rather spacious too.
This dining area was called the Bay Suite Restaurant and Ballroom.
Quite a plush looking place really, with a large curvy 90 ft. window to catch the scenery and a stage opposite complete with grand piano.
The actual dancefloor featured illuminated glass panels in a variety of colours.
Then there was the Riverview Lounge and Smuggler's Cocktail Bar to choose from as well.
All this information has to be referred to in the past tense now because the entire building was demolished in 1983.
