Its big showpiece was it was big. So what, so is Eltons Johns poop chute. 

Full of Rockport wearing dildos and the music was shit.

The weird thing about The Venue was that the carpet on the floor was always wet.

Everywhere at all times. 

Wherever you tried to sit, you sat down with a squelch. 

Not sure if it was piss, blood, beer, or puke. 

Probably a soup of all those things.

Harbour pub crawl used to be brilliant - about a dozen pubs.  Lucky if there's 3 or 4 left.

Crows Nest, Fittie Bar, Peep Peeps, St Clements bar, Cutters Wharf, Crown & Anchor, Moorings, Regent Bar, Schooner, Criterion.  I've no doubt missed a few

Mates old man owned the Cra's nest , when it opened it was really smart . Big squad of us used to go there for pre and post match pints. Dod would run a mini bus for us back and forth , great times

Wad the priory opening the start of its demise? 

A real shame.

Yeah it was. People still went to Amadeus and then when Priory opened that took away a huge amount of punters. 

Poo Na Na also took away a fair bit of trade as did Eskobar (now that was a fucking great place!)

I think the opening of Espionage was the final nail in the coffin for Amadeus.

Eskobar was terrific.

Venue was the place where you could go and not have to deal with testosterone-fueled, gold-chained Miami-Vice wannabe wankers sporting pedophile mousers and blonde highlights in their mullets. 

Loaned a mate a suit one New Year since he was going into toon trapping slutties and I was, of course, headed to The Venue. 

Just before the bells he comes wandering up to me with some tart... in the Venue... looking terrified, with a crowd of bemused goths and punks following him around like he'd just landed from another planet. 

"You ken this boy, Kelt?" says one of my goth chums. 

"I do not." I said, throwing him and his trap under the bus... 

As far as I can remember, I did not see that suit again.
