Memory Lane... Pleasure Rooms

[bomberH]

Since we all seem to be reminiscing about Spurs and the Lane in its current form, I thought it'd be worth remembering the single greatest pre match bar/club ever in the history of pre match bars/clubs.

For those unaware, the Pleasure Rooms is/was (not sure if still there) a massive club type place near Bruce Grove, which is a 10/15 minute walk to the ground. It was always very dark inside and there were several different rooms. The name given to the event in the main room where Spurs fans gathered was 'Memory Lane'. Hundreds of Yiddos would gather inside there every Saturday around midday where the entertainment would begin. This was mainly naked women and comedians.

The women were filth. They'd pull up a willing man from the crowd and do all sorts of naughty with them. Except Sammi Jessop. She was so beautiful, she had the most amazing arse, though with the help of implants (we believed) She was allowed to just come on the stage and dance. She'd pull guys up too sometimes but it was all quite classy like a sexy lapdance, as opposed to the others who would pull someone up and suck them off in front of hundreds of cheering men. I still don't know how anyone could get a hard on let alone jizz in a room full of cheering men but hey, who am I to judge.

The comedians were hit and miss but mainly hit. At one point it got so popular, they were pulling in names like Little & Large and Chas & Dave. Little & Large might seem quite pathetic now but they were big back in the day and their off screen routine was very adult based. Chas & Dave came on and sung all their classics but no Spurs songs! The crowd started chanting 'we only want Spurs songs' and they started doing them but forgetting a lot of the words. It wasn't their greatest performance in all honestly but it was Chas & Dave singing Spurs songs in Tottenham on match day.

My lasting memory is one guy getting pulled up on stage, stripped naked and being whipped with his own belt by the girl. Each whip on his back and arse was met with horrified faces from the crowd. Then she got him to face her and she whipped his cock. Hard. The sound it made will live with me forever. He was floored by the pain and every guy in there doubled over in empathy. It was so fucking loud. I'm almost certain she caught him with the buckle. RIP that guy's penis.

And then at 230pm, we'd all walk down to the Lane to watch Spurs. Good old days the 90's were. We were so shit then, no one expected anything, so the crowd sung and sung. And maybe popped back to the club afterwards...

The place was shut down eventually. The nightclub was drug city so when it was closed down, Memory Lane went with it. I tried to set up something similar at my house but it never really got going.

Anyone remember this place?

Used to go to Labyrinth there. Off my tits every weekend.

Fucking hell, reading @bomberH post I was thinking..."why does the Pleasure Rooms ring a bell?"
Labyrinth was fucking awesome, Happy Hardcore in one room, Jungle in another, puking up red stripe as that was the only beer they sold....pretty sure I went to the last ever one before they moved to Kings Cross, not too sure though as like u, I was off my tits most weeks.

 

[dimiSpur]

but hey, who am I to judge.

You know it must have been a hardcore place when it's the subject of judgement from Bomber!

Did you do the Dungeons in Lea Bridgd Rd ?

No I don't recall it. 4 Aces, Pleasure Rooms, Bagleys, Diehard in Leicester and all the big events in Milton Keynes were my staple.

Went there once, fucking surreal! Bodies everywhere, strobe lights in pitch black rooms, proper hardcore rave everywhere, it was mental.
That was back in the day when raves were illegal so you listened in to coded messages on the radio to find out where it was being held.

Never did it for me because you had to be off your tits and I've never touched acid, E or anything else like that.

Dingwalls and Mambo Inn were my haunts, dancing to Acid Jazz then the chill out room with a quarter of hash.

Fucking loved the 90's.

Unbelievable gaffe! I remember hitting it after a midweek game versus the scum. I got pulled out of the crowd by the bird stripping to the chants of "Yiddo, Yiddo, Yiddo", then she pulled out an inflatable sheep at which point I thought "f?@k that" and made my way back into the audience to a chorus of boos.

I'll never forget one filthy bird there who went by the name of Misty and stripped to the song "Black Velvet".

Good times!

 

[PostmanNat]

Alas, I was barely out of my dads ball bag in the 90's and so I missed the real rave scene.

Mate, half the bods there can't remember a thing themselves! Never seen so many space cadets in one place!

I used to feel so sorry for the guys being pulled up. One of the guys ran off the stage as soon as the woman put on a strap on and he stacked it as he tried to get away. He didn't get booed though, everyone was too busy laughing.

Dungeon was the bollocks around 89. Then they fucking tunnelled through to the pub over the road and it went a bit glow stick happy camper shit.

Dingwalls Chelsea ?

Hahahahaha - That made me spit out a roast potato!

That wasn't me, but had I stuck around it could've been. I was only about 16/17 at the time!

Camden Locke. Got to know Giles Peterson after my Brother met him in a record store in Slough. He told my Brother to go as he was dj'ing so we went mob handed.
He put us onto pubs like The Old Trout where we saw the likes of Jamiroquai and Corduroy before they got record deals.
I used to knock around with Roger Johnson's brother too, who was a DJ as well, so we used to have the full SP on most of what was happening music wise.

Great times.

We used to drink in the front bar, leave the madness in the back to all you young `uns
Joey was indeed the man. Remind me to tell you about the hotel he had in Hastings one day.

Remember JW from way back in the early 70's. He was doing security at Knebworth for the Pink Floyd concert in 1974.

Hastings was one of the trips I never went to (his Dads I think) and always regretted it.

 

[Ionman34]

Funny, all the years I went to the Lane I never knew about that club.

Probably a good thing, not sure the missus would have understood why my cock had a belt buckle imprint in it...
