Katy Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 The Walkabout on Humberstone Gate, I used to love it in there. Why the hell did it close down?
Daggers Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 Wet wipes? Yea, as if! The girl has the ability to walk past a bowl or plate and make it look as if her and the contents have been part of a sedimentary process over a couple of billion years. Often, it is possible to find archaeologists chipping away at her head in the hope of discovering something of scientific interest.

Actually its frowned upon to beat children.... AND apparently EATIng them is off limits too.
Katy Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 Forgot that one. Wasn't making enough money, apparently... Ahh see when the BT building closed down their profit went tits up. Those were the days
Ultra Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 I also recall the Physio and Firkin on Aylestone Road, and the Angel Inn on Infirmary Road. Did ayone else use to drink in those pubs on match days?
leicester1884 Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 Chatams Bar. Some Place Else. The Wellington/Edwards/Global Cafe. Many great memories from all of the above on match days in years gone by.
Head Honcho Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 When I was a hip swooner in 1988, we used to "hang" at 39 Steps, Helsinkis., Vin Quatres...etc Cant remember any others... A a more Lufbra lad, I started my drinking at the famous following about aged 13... yep we got served Cross Keys - Now Firkin I think Green Man - no longer under the shopping centre next to Tylers Casablanca Bitter End Sophies - next to the car park and sweeneys barbers White Horse. - was opposite the Friar Tuck Three Nuns - used to be owned by my next door neightbour- always tricky! the Griffin Crown and Cush Cherry tree AH the memories And the night was finished off at Sammys for "snog a dog" I suddenly feel about 346 years old! All my old haunts spent many a New Years Eve in Helsinki Anyone remember Caspers? I used to live in that place, the owner Vince was a mate of mine so didn't have to queue or pay to get in I think it's still owned by him but called simkins now
Guest Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 Forgot that one. Wasn't making enough money, apparently... Leicester must be the only town or City not to have a Walkabout now. Twenty20 finals were legendary in that place.

Janx Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 any body remember the bear cage.. yup ..very hip opened at the height of my swoonyness. i loved it.
Dellyjo Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 any body remember the bear cage.. Another great place, along with The Fan Club & Sector 5 - god I feel old!
Head Honcho Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 any body remember the bear cage.. Been trying to remember the name of the Bear Cage all day What about Baby Squad Central AKA The Snooty Fox anyone remember that dump
Head Honcho Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 Leicester must be the only town or City not to have a Walkabout now. Twenty20 finals were legendary in that place. Walkabout own Bar Risa so maybe they thought one pub in Leicester is enough
Ultra Posted 1 August 2006 Posted 1 August 2006 Been trying to remember the name of the Bear Cage all day What about Baby Squad Central AKA The Snooty Fox anyone remember that dump Thought Kiesa's was Baby Squad Central..
Knighton Matt Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 The old Courthouse on New Walk was pretty quality, next to Revolution. The new place has got a burger bar attached...wtf is that all about?
The People's Hero Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 The old Courthouse on New Walk was pretty quality, next to Revolution. The new place has got a burger bar attached...wtf is that all about? Revolution = being sick.
Knighton Matt Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 If it involves Kleenex in any shape of form or Hakle moists...I am NEVER speaking to you again! Janks you are a maverick...what with the 'arriving 5 times' comment and the amazing name dropping of the vastly undermentioned Hakle Moists into the equation. Poster of the Year kinda stuff mate
Ultra Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 Revolution = being sick. Try all the different flavours of vodka then?
Janx Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 Janks you are a maverick...what with the 'arriving 5 times' comment and the amazing name dropping of the vastly undermentioned Hakle Moists into the equation. Poster of the Year kinda stuff mate you sire are a gent... a drugged up gent, but a gent none the less!
Guest Posted 2 August 2006 Posted 2 August 2006 The Bear Cage would never let me in. Sector 5 and the Fan Club would, but not the Bear Cage. :cry:
