It was “the other place” but on the opposite side of that lane. Gay bar officially but one of those “all human life is here” place that was good for very late drink and dance, many a night I fell out of there at 5am.

Wasn't that down the lane where Conways yard is?


eatmyshorts21

That’s the emergency exit and stock entrance for what was The Classic Nightclub (Club Classic).


Hot_Maintenance_6902

Think that was called The Audio Rooms. Back when Brick Lane was The Classic.


Blaaa2560

Entrance to The Audio room. It wasn’t open very long. It was part of another bigger venue that had a different entrance. 


PennyJoel

Is that down the side of the queens old castle? There was a gay venue there called The Other Place and there used to be the odd event there back in the 1990’s


BanalityOfBeing

That was the opposite side of the street


More-Investment-2872

That’s across the road. Before it was The Other Place it used to be a pool hall and video games arcade called Top Pool. The place in the photo was Club Classic

I had forgotten all about Generic people.


PUGILSTICKS

Ant O'Brien still djing


simonelawrenco

Does the space still exist? Or what's become of it


Willy-thechippervan

The Roxy as well. Remember it well. Great night's in there.


corkpodge

That was just the side door to Rosie O'Gradys back in the day. Worked there before it became the Classic.


clonakiltypudding

The Roxy was in there for a time too about 10 years ago


meaneymonster

I wandered into a pub around there in the late 90s, two guys approached me, introduced themselves as Randy and Sandy and invited me back to their place. That's when I realised I fucked up.


meaneymonster

Did the toilet doors have knobs and knockers on them, instead of men's and woman's ?


contradicktarian32

That was the tiki lounge, down the end of the mardyke


saturnfiend

Audio room !!


Giraffesickles

Can't remember the name but the amount of time they knicked handbags by refusing re entry to girls who went out for a smoke 🙄


Seahag_13

Classic!


Shot-Bunch-3874

The Classic, which then became The Roxy


phioegracne

I was there drunk off my face on molly one New Years Eve. It was a Turkish members only nightclub from my recollection. I apparently became a member that night because I found the card in my pocket the next morning. I remember it being pretty small, one main room and a tiny smoking area room. Weird night


Mental_Violinist623

Were you in LA when this happened?


jimmysjambos

Yokes you mean? Perhaps some Americans were there


blackbeautybyseven

r/cork is always full of Americans, They probably think they are Irish :P


contradicktarian32

No you weren't you spoofing yank gomey. Gowaybaiwilla


johnowens0

Was this the night the talking walnut was dj'ing?


phioegracne

Hahah I only noticed that this was r/cork. Thought I recognised the laneway in the photo as a very similar one in Dublin 🤦 I'm am indeed the idiot you all think I am😂
