Does anyone know... is the Astoria previously Route 66? I don't remember it from my Uni days but looks like it's where Route 66 used to be?
That is the old Route 66 building - and whatever it was before that.
Last time i went in there it was Martines
Wasn’t Martines in guildhall square ? There used to be a club downstairs under what became Route 66 - 400 club ? And if you go back far enough to my parents day i believe it was a playboy club or was that the casino by Ken’s ? My parents met at the savoy which afterwards was neroes/5th avenue/time and envy, did enjoy Route 66 in its hey day but zoom/basement was my favourite, is scandals still going, conflicting info on the web
Nero's was Southsea Mate. Part of the Club Tiberius, Nero's, Joannas run of clubs. Jo's-fallen out of there a fair few times.
Nero's was plusher & you had to be half sober to get in which I managed a couple of times. Think Club Tiberius you had to be a member.
It was all in the buildings that Redknapp bought & wanted to develop but was turned down. Then mysteriously burned down.
Yep, Neros was southsea seafront in the old savoy buildings, it became 5th Avenue after that, used to love it in there, few beers in Fanshaws as well. What was the name of the burger place next door, was it the Intrepid Bun or something daft ? Many a beer sponge eaten in there
Trying to remember the route of my original beer crawl down southsea, i am sure some will remember alot of these, this is circa 79/80.Used to start at the portland hotel, then onto the following the Cambridge,Osbourne,Aukland arms, the Absley,Palmeston.The parade ,Jolly Sailor and finally the beer kellar if still going after that back to Osbourne road for a curry at the light of the bengal.I think the waiters name was Eugene and he always welcomed you by your name.
