It never used to shut and we were able to colonise the place until the wee hours of the morning - I don't think we were ever actually asked to leave. I am returning to Aber on holiday this summer and I will pop in for a drink for old times sake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051525258367531735.post-77257392132496989322012-02-07T12:25:25.811-08:002012-02-07T12:25:25.811-08:00Spent a wonderfull week there in 1974, playing dar...Spent a wonderfull week there in 1974, playing darts with the natives and enjoying the hospitality of ladlord Rodger and some other guys, especially Less and Warren.<br />Great momories!!!<br />Eby from Bremen in GermanyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051525258367531735.post-68266569960995921012011-12-14T07:59:14.754-08:002011-12-14T07:59:14.754-08:00@ Anonymous - Keg, presumably.

Many years back I knew it as the place to be around closing time, as they "forgot" to throw people out after the doors were shut - very popular with students and off-duty late-shift firemen from across the road. Often hassled by the plod on account of it, despite having a totally trouble-free atmosphere. Josh is a great guy, glad he's still in charge. This place does deserve more attention, I think. I, too, have been known to wear a vintage Fountain T-shirt, belonging to a partner who actually lived above the place for a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051525258367531735.post-33056643681288295042008-01-01T14:18:00.000-08:002008-01-01T14:18:00.000-08:00Apparently, someone called a local Simon Cowell in...Apparently, someone called a local Simon Cowell in there reasonably recently and got the shit kicked out of him.
