Quote from: Milltown Row2 on May 12, 2026, 01:16:42 PMAh the aul Bot, its had its day unfortunately, location location location... Mid 80's it was outta Belfast City center which had a ring of steel around it and closed around 7pm at night, so the options for students were limited..

 Wed nights when I was 16 through to early 20's and Sundays for the first of the Super Sundays during the hey days of the PL, wife (girlfriend at the time) was pouring me into the car, god knows why she stuck around!
A question she has asked herself many times!

The old Bot with the bar in the middle upstairs and the tiny dancefloor was a great spot for laps back in the day. I think it was in the process of being replaced when I was in first year, 1994-1995. with the Bot, the Eg, QUBSU, the old Fly and The Elms just down the road, that part of town was heaving mid- to late-90s.

Great times.

I'm probably wee bit older and Renshaws became one of those places where the students became annoying lol!

And that's when I went to Vico's! Life definitely changed then lol
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Wasn't a frequent attender. It was for the unsophisticated palates from Tyrone, Armagh and Derry. I was more of a Dukes man myself.

Dukes being also for the unsophisticated palates from Tyrone, Armagh, and Derry. Struggling to discern the difference!

Dukes.....now you're talking. Lived in Ireton St just down the road. Think I was in it 3 nights a week every week for pints of Smithwicks. Great times.
Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry and the world will turn.
