Bar on Greenside Place mid/late 80s

[LisaO]

Procrastinating at work and trying to remember the name of a bar on Greenside Place back in the mid/late 80s.

I think it's now Habana (cos it had a bit upstairs, but I could be wrong). Shades (nowt to do with Erich I don't think) is ringing a bell, but I'm no 100% sure.

Anyone any ideas? It was all shiny and mirrored inside.

Also the auld Stage Door pub, is that now Planet?

HELP!!!

I do remember CHAPPS now you mention it but don't think it was that. I'd get taken there for pub lunches when I was 8/9. Can only remember CHAPPS as a nightclub.

Just spoke to my mum and she cannae mind either!

Cafe Kudos before CHAPPS?

Every pub from the top of Leith Street has had name changes until you get to Joseph Pearce in Elm Row, which itself is run by Boda. All right if you fancy a hybrid pub/cafe/creche. Not for me.

Stage Door was a good boozer.

I worked in Pearce’s circa 92 for a while, ideally placed for a stroll up to the Venue after finishing, pub was pretty grim back then

Used to do a lovely pint of Black Gold. When I stayed in Montgomery Street, it was a regular haunt.

That was when I drank in there!

No doubt, very different bar from those days. More Ikea than I ken ye.

I wonder what Jackie and George would make of it now?
