Wife was looking in her old diaries from the 80s before we got married. Plenty of pub visits! Many we remembered, such as the drop inn, trader jacks, the limelight, the dunrobin, robateaus?, quenchers, the out of town, shades, seven stars (sandon).
There are some we can't even remember - Springfield's? the dolls house? Can anyone remember these and where they were? Doing our heads in! 🙂

Bizarrely Wigan fans holed up in that pub in 2000 the last time we met in the FA cup when they didn’t go in to the stadium and battle ensued in the centre of Hanley after the match when word got round Anyway back on track |

Marsh Head was there into the 2000’s wasn’t it? Used to love going Oxford Arms for local gigs. But again not really 80’s genre

Wasn't there a pub called the Boozy Dog in either Hanley or Castle that would serve anyone? Remember going in as about a 17 year old and felt old.
