I used to work at KHome on Chappel Street in 1980, the pub was called the Cleveland then. It was our Friday lunchtime venue. Great character, but I never went in on the night.Is that the one that is now Dubliners? If so I used to go in there back in late 80s early 90sand play pool in the back room, was very shabby but I never had any bother.
Yes I used to work on Depot Road round the corner. Walking back from town one day I got shot in the leg by a scrote with an air pistolYes, it was more like another planet to be honest.

Brad's Bar was rough as f, u-c k - your mates were right!Brads Bar in Stockton. Walked in with my mates, they went to the bar and I went to the toilets. Went to wash my hands in the sink.. but it was full of blood. Went to use another sink and that too was full of blood. As I came out of the bogs my mates were walking out saying ‘it’s rough as f**k in here’ - not sure what went on.. but it must have been worse than two sinks full of blood.
No mate, Acklam garden city was on Burlam rd I think the cabbage club was further into Whinney Banks.You mean the Cabbage Club?

When a student in Newcastle, we spent a few bank holiday monday's down on Whitley Bay sea front, and there was some absolute shitholes on those pub crawls.
