I think years ago was he chef at that restaurant near the Binley Park Inn that's now flats (there's a theme developing there)?
Linos?
Of course. Real school back then. None of the fancy Dan stuff it is nowAnother Cally boy. Good lad.
Linos?
Surprised there is no mention of The Colin Campbell......
Anybody ever got into browns to rate it? I got in once and made it to the bar before being kicked out for no reason..
Cheers deano, that's definitely it, but the name still doesn't ring any bells. Odd.
Another Cally boy. Good lad.
Good lad and Cally in the same sentence?
You bitch.
Years ago used to do a few from the train station to the ground on match days.
The Black Eagle Bar, The Thistle, the 'lastic Inn, Fewtrells? , Brew and Baker, and of course The Mercers! Often to the Three Tuns on the way back.
Think an awful lot of my dislike of the Ricoh and the club recently comes from actually watching them sober nowadays!
God, I remember some rough old pubs in town in the late 60's and early 70's:
The Alhambra
The City Arms (in Smithford Way)
The Market Tavern - my absolute favourite pub EVER!!
The cellar bar in the Tally Ho! (now known as the Tudor Rose I believe?)
The Jaguar
Forty Thieves Night Club
Mr Georges Night Club
The Rock House (Locarno)
The Lady Godiva (The "Dive")
Silver Sword
The Stag (Lamb St)
Swanswell
Swanswell Tavern
The Shuttles
Turks Head
Pink Parrot nightclub (got banned so I was only ever in there once!)
I've got over 230 pics of Coventry pubs - some still standing, others now gone. Like Deano, I can stick 'em on here if anyone wants to be reminded of their youth!!
Some good pubs mentioned,some good memories.
Here's a couple no longer with us.
The Aldermoor.
The chequers.
The three masons.
The Ivy Cottage.

Do you mean the Freemason that was along Harnall Lane? We used to have the CB club in there. Think it's now an Asian supermarket or something like that?

Oops,yeh the Freemasons god knows how I got that wrong,Many of my early drinking days we're spent between there and the Mercers,It must be all the snakebites bringing on early dementia..
I forgot the Thistle! Down the City Arcade! Another pub I was banned from! :claping hands:
Ha ha. Do you not drink in the Devon much now?
Not as much as I used to but now it is £1.90 a pint in there on a Saturday afternoon, all day Sunday and whenever live football is on I think I might get back to my old frequency.
shame, it was a great pub. my best and worst memory was watching England go out of euro96 on penalties to Germany was a great evening until the penalty shoot out.
