Dirty Dora's

What a place

Inside 'Dirty Dora's', the legendary Welsh nightclub

Several hundreds used to queue up to get into the basement nightclub wearing everything from three piece suits to jeans and Dr. Martens shoes

O for those days! Brilliant times, plastic patio furniture, VAT 69 and Coke (Coca Cola!), proper women and a good laugh with the likes of Plastic Sam and Paul Durden.

Interesting, I bet they have some right tales to tell, from the days down Doras.

I read the article, and this bit tickled me:

"One night I remember there was a new police superintendent who wanted to clean up Swansea and they picked on Dora's as an easy target," Mr Bromage added.

"He went in with his full uniform with his stick under his arm and we told him 'if you go down like that you will get attacked' but he went down and we couldn't stop him and then he came back up.

"His hat was gone and he had beer all over his uniform.

"He was saying 'I want to speak to the manager. I've just been attacked, what are you going to do about it?'

Mr Bromage posted on here for years. Took a few posters to Plymouth away on his boat.

Best nightclub in Swansea ever. We used to go every weekend without fail for years. There was a coach that’s used to go from a pub in Neath every Friday as well.

Mr Bromage used to have a little ponytail if memory serves.

He's lacking hair these days, lovely guy is Kev dry as fuck though and could wind the pope up, got a car pickup and deliver business these days, always busy when he's not on a cruise or topping up his air miles, not seen him for long while though except for FB.

Never went there. Valbonne, Marths, and mostly in Harpers for me. Starting off in Shades. At one point me and the lads were there every night sunday to saturday, fvcking mental, but , oh, did we enjoy. We will never ever see those days come back again, it's long gone.

Yes, fond memories, and I wonder how long it really took , to go from the dancefloor for a piss and back? It was just a traffic jam of people,

Harpers was for the better Night club clientele .

I slummed it Barons , them steps at the end of the night trying to get to get to the exit door without falling over was a miracle .

People laugh about the toilets at Spoons regarding the effort to get to them , been there .

That staircase in Barons puts that simple uphill climb and descent in a Spoons boozer in the shade .
