Re: Bee's Knees
It's still there, but has changed it's name.
It was considered very racy when it opened in the '70's, as they had go-go dancers! I liked the big Bee outside.

Re: Bee's Knees
I thought the Bee was quite good, as for the GO GO dancers too young to go in at the time. Thats probably why I liked the bee LOL

Re: Bee's Knees
Sorry Rindy but it's still the Bees Knees,i think it changed and then changed back again.Cheap lager beer in the afternoons,with a mostly male clientele.WKD,bottle neckers pub at night.Great pub in 70's,early 80's with the balcony,raised area near the door,pool tables down stairs,under age drinkers,10p for 3 jukebox,telephone booth,mad Iranians with gold chains & town dolly hanging onto their wealth,fighting anything cos they could'nt hold their halves of lager.Bunch of keys dangling from high waist trousres,mobile disco.Crap nowadays.

Re: Bee's Knees
The Bee's Knee's was one of the first pubs I went in, love the big bee outside too, it was a great pub then, but the night life in Accy back then was hard to beat too.
