The Campbell? It's had a lick of paint but I'd hardly describe it as nice still. There's still the lingering air of sweat and angst.
Disturbing looking wine bar now. Don't think the Friday night rock night would pass health and safety now.
zodiac legend place........you forgot the zodiac
Penny Black anyone?
Blast from the past! Forgot all about that, can't even remember where it was now, the 80's all a bit of a blur to be honest.
As were the 90's and 00's, the 10's heading that way too.
Used to like the Black Eagle.
I think you've got it right about the Ricoh, it isn't seamlessly weaved into a day out at the football. It feels like a lot more effort to me. No chance of buying a pint at 2.45 and necking it to then try to make kick off.
Greyfriars Lane. Typical Cov City Centre location, stuck down a side street (I think it might be Greyfriars Lane, it's down the end of the entry off Hertford St). It closed in 2001 iirc.
Here are a couple more names to throw at you ...... was too young at the time to be discerning about the beer for the first few but had some great nights out (well thats my excuse and sticking to it)
the Bear - Corporation St
the Climax
Hand & Heart - far gosford st
Dog & Trumpet
late 70's early 80's the 3 tuns was very popular
Used to like the Shakespear when Jim Holton ran it
Got very happy memories of the Rocket too
Banned!
By my missus, and NatWest!
Dog and Trumpet just up the precinct from the Black Eagle? Down some dodgy stairs?
Is it still going?

II don't bet a lot, just a tenner in a roulette machine, pint on the side. I had a run of about 6 home games last year where I came out with £30-£50 profit, that's another good reason to not go to Sixfields !!

Casino??

The first pub I ever got pissed in, in town. Used to be cheap beer on a Monday (before this new fangled Monday club shite) and used to go there after I picked up my giro thing that you could get at 16 if you could blag that you had been kicked out of your parental home and had no discernible income. Allegedly.
They certainly weren't fussy of who they let in because at 16 I looked about 12!!!!
Take your pick of hand and heart, Hertford arms, gosford or the cup/beer engineI remember a pub on far gosford st as a kid that was near an army surplus shop for before the game?

The Cottage - Earlsdon
Used to be a Sunday afternoon family boozer. Bit of dinner, kids on the bouncy castle etc. Now it's Oi Oi geezer and birds with their tits hanging out and tiny dresses. I love it.
£3.50 a pint (taste like abattoir drainage) and touching £5 for a spirit and mixer.
2/10 week days
8/10 weekend.
I used to use the Live & Let Live until it closed down, then I used the White Horse in Broad Park Road. Great pubs! As for recent pubs, I rather like the Rainbows. I stumbled in there one day when I was pissed. Really friendly bunch of lads! (Not much in the way of women though! Strange... :thinking about
I worked at the Tollgate on Holyhead Road, in the kitchens washing up at 16 and then behind the bar for a couple of years from 18. am amazed that it's still going, just looked on street view and it doesn't look like it's been done up since I stopped working there 15 years ago!
My old route into cov town was
Rocket
Three Tuns
Bug and Black Bat now Heat apparently!
Penny Black
Cov Cross
The Jag
Ending in Mr G's normally involving being legged round town for half an hour by a group of bell green boys for going with their girl friends / sisters / cousins or a mixture of both.
Happy days makes me realise how much I miss cov before the sky dome was built. Live in bedworth now and have to say the pubs there hark back to the glory days of early 90s cov.
Who remembers the nightclub in the bridge above Shelton square - bedrock?
