I always thought the Miller was for gays........but then, I am a local.

What was the name of the, so called, night club on the quay? Woodies/The Viking Club? I forget. It'd been a while.

Any one else shag little Lisa?

Ahh, the Viking Club!

It was always amusing to read the list of assumed names in the sign-in book on the door - I remember Theophelus P Wildbeast was on the list before me once!

Also remember pulling a girl with a classic 80's perm - until my 'mate' pointed out the resemblance to Kevin Keegan. After that, point I couldn't concentrate anymore, and had to go back to the bar for another plastic glass of watered-down Hoffmeister.

What was the dive opposite the bus station? I think it was Grey's before it became Chili's...

(Mind you, that's how I would end up after a night out 26 years ago, just without the rug.)

The Brewers was renamed the Rising Sun some years ago. It became a Thai restraunt/pub. It's still called the Rising Sun but is now a Gastro/Pub whatever that is. Many Marines from Poole used to have the Brewers as their local until the New London Tavern was renamed the Cockleshell (after the heroes) and has the RM badge as it's pub sign.

As for Woodies/Viking club. It has now closed down. In fact my ex brother in Law used to own the place.

I'm not sure how proud I should be of my Gold membership from Woody's/ The Viking as was....

The Viking club has been gone for a good few years now at least 7, and Chillies is now (or was, as I'm not too sure if it is still open!) Mr C's, or was it that before it became Chillies? I can't remember as it changes names so very often. Now I personally prefer to go to some place on the Quay, but I can't remember the name!!! It has insects in the counter on the bar.

I do remeber one particularly good evening out that ended at the Curly Stairs after a dineout at RM Poole!!

In fact it never really ended as I remember playing footie in the carpark of the officers mess as the sun came up!!!!!

Used to drink in the swan/mucky Duck/Flying Boat. Seemed to change names every other week. Had some good nights in the Nelson on the quay with gold and purple when they used to let us play with their kit....

The Swan/Flying Boat eventually became an Irish theme pub. That did not last long and it closed down completely. It has now reopened as a tourist attraction aimed at familys ( it is no longer a pub). The strongest liquid on sale is I think Ginger beer. Not totally sure as I have not entered the place.

The Lord Nelson on the Quay is one pub that has hardly changed since "our day"

The one pub that is totally unchanged since the 80's is the Poole Arms, this is the place with the green tiles on the outside. It is on the quay.

The Helmsman which was on the corner opposite Corkers wine Bar is another pub that has undergone numerous name & theme changes over the years, it is currently The Spotted Cow. As for Corkers? still there but not the place it was. It is now a cafe/bar I used to drink Sangria by the jug in that place.
