Did this place used to have weird fish in a fishtank behind the bar?

I used to go to the Robey quite a bit back in the 80s and it's a real shame to see it in such a state.

It's totally demolished now and the ground has been cleared.
I don't know what they are going to do with the space.

I knew the Robey well from the 80's (sorry, haven't heard of any of the bands mentioned in this thread). Interesting bit from the link you've posted

"The pub was taken over by the Mean Fiddler Group and renamed the Powerhaus. It closed in 2004 and suffered a fire."

Mean Fiddler Group. Fire. Hmmmmmm.

Nothing to see here. Move along now.

I used to live in the area and thought it closed earlier than that - maybe 1999.
Could be wrong though.

 

[boohoo]

sad it went. Had some nice nights there - can't remember them - must have been good.

A remember a bloke with a Rod Stewart mullet behind the bar, Mullet hair that is not fish. Around 1982/3.

 

[rich!]

Are there any "yeah, I'll just bimble in and see some bands" venues any more?

 

[Black Halo]

The Unicorn in Camden has free gigs on most nights of the week, they tend to the louder end of the musical spectrum if that is the kind of thing you're into.
