The Ritz
1985

“wasn't it 1p in and a free pint on a monday? something like that, anyway...”

“I know Jillys used to have a 1p entrance on a Thursday but i can't remember if they did that at the Ritz on a Monday or Tuesday. The snakebite was pretty lethal though. The music was fantastic they played all the latest indie stuff plus an eclectic mix of classics, a little bit of everthing, Violent Femmes, Gun Club, Cramps, New Order, Redskins, Nina Simone, Wedding Present, Pistols and not forgetting a bit of a friendly brawl at the end of the night to 633 squadron.”

“When I was going in the mid 80s it was 50p in and a free bottle of Pils on Monday nights, I didn't go any other night so idk about them.”
