Renshaws Return??

[ziggysego]

I was in it for the St. Paddy's 2002 session. Not too often I can say this, but I was one of the sensible ones for a change! A mad house!

Loved that place.
Many a happy evening was spent in Renshaws

Evening? You must have been part of the 'third wave'!!

It was some craic. There was talk of taking a day off and getting a crowd together to invade the new place, to let them know the history of the site.
Mountains of school/kit bags piled to the right of the door, place pumping at midday, a crowd of fat whores singing 'the ranch, the ranch, the ranch is on fire...'. 3 4 5 being properly abused by getting pints of fat frog, the chippie lad outside going mental as someone else turned off the gas while his mates stole burgers... Oh the memories...

I may have been one of those............. Good times.

Was 5 years in Shaft and if I drank ten times in there it was ten times too many. An absolute dive infested with rural degenerates who used it as a haven to express their backward ways.

Never truer words spoken, an excellent description, take a bow DF.

In saying that im still glad i experienced it, some craic!

I was there too that day - I remember in my semi-drunken state that I thought the police were very heavy handed (strangely).  Headed home shortly after leaving though to avoid any trouble.

My housemate worked in Renshaws in 2001/2002 - nearly failed her degree because of the place.

Renshaws was a pure shit pit and the bouncers where total wankers.

I was in Renshaws for a few last saturday night and this place is not Renshaws. It is now a soleless hotel bar with no atmosphere. Probably the worst bar in Belfast. We were even afraid to talk in case we woke anyone up. BTW dukes is even worse. I think the best thing to do is just remember what it used to be like and dont go through the pain of seeing it as it is now.

What were you expecting - fish and chips?

I got out of there before the shit really hit the fan. You didn't see me bouncing about did you?

[mikasas]

Dont know you from Adam Ziggy, so it could have been you who started the whole thing! Were you the fella in the tyrone top who lobbed a bottle at the cops and then ran home, if so then I saw ye!

[ziggysego]

Na, I was wearing a green shirt that day.

I have to say that I spent many happy nights in Remshaws 1996-98, Riggs was a good mate and through him met Mrs BC who was working behind the bar at the time.  Anytime after we won anything in Cross we hit it hard there and the usual round of drinks was x amount of Sambuca and 2 Lucozades for the Macs!!!  Too many funny nites in there but one of the most memorable was the night of the Liverpool Newcastle game where it ended 4-3.  Absoluelty mental night!  Also the Monday night after we beat Bellaghy in the Ulster Final in 1996 was unreal with wee Gareth Doc being the MC for a legendary night of singing!

[ziggysego]

Anyone here?

Ah fair enough, you blended in rightly then!
