Hi Astonian, late 70's the landlord was Tommy Breen an Albion fanatic, he later moved to a pub in Hamstead after ill health. I had some long hours in there. Regards George
I wonder what my great great Aunty would think of it now, from her times there as head waitress in 1911 serving café au lait to actors, she was very forward thinking I think she would approve.
I remember both Kardomahs New Street and Colmore Row, Sombrero and the Venitia all in the fifties. I also went to thr Museum cafe on saturdays after work 12 noon. Great memories. I worked in Prudential buildings the lift went down into the kd.
Around 1963 there was also a club downstairs in the cellar called the Brum cavern....a take of Liverpool cavern.Re my previous reply No 37. My brain has at last switched into gear. The place as stated was run by Van Hagen and was called the La Fiesta. After reopening it had another name. I cannot help any more. Regards George.
