  The Chevron in St Kilda Road! Also the Croc, the Parkview, and the Dan O’Connell. But just about any pub had live music on Fri/Sat albeit of varying quality and volume back in the early 70s. If you could be bothered, then the Three Weeds on Plenty Road often had good bands just starting out.

    Dan O’Connell for St Pat’s. They used to use the little park next to the pub for a band (the Australian U2 Experience I think) and outside drinking. Cheap Guinness that got cheaper throughout the night. I remember getting $1 pints at about 2am as they were trying to finish off the supply.

      Been there, done that. A friend of mine rented the terrace house next to the bandroom so we spent a LOT of time at the Dan. St Pats was a whole other thing though - the Dan was as much fun as Molly Blooms.

    I’ve been to the Chevron!

      Yeah, the Chevron was for getting dressed up all fancy. Mostly I went to the nearest pub. The Chev did a good Black Russian which I liked better than White Russians.

  I was more a pub goer: the Lomond in East Brunswick, or the Woodlands, Post Office or Browns (before it was renovated) in Sydney road. Also a place that used to be called Nick’s wine bar in Nicholson st North Fitzroy next to the tram depot.

    The Lomond for chats with RRR presenters.

  Sneaking booze into the Fri/Sat ice skate disco on Centre Rd. We’d spend the early part of the evening scouring the Oakleigh Coles for a 2for1 shop-a-docket. We’d then try to talk people already in the queue into letting us in for free with the 2for1 cos we were broke.

    What was your drink of choice? Mine was Bacardi and lemonade and Sub Zeros with raspberry.

  Various pubs & clubs, often to see bands. The Punter’s club, espy sometimes, the tote, the empress, others in Brunswick st & around there back in the day. The old Greek theatre, the club, Sarah sands (when it was a venue). That was a trip down memory lane - reminded me I did actually go out quite a lot

    Sarah Sands and the Espy. Good times.
