Camp Allegro, Curacao. A bit like Butlins but each "Chalet" contains a whore, got a good bar too. Gets my vote as number 1.
Bloody hell, Campo! Was last there in the late 70's, for a beer of course, is it still going!!??

Guards at the turnstiles had baseball bats if I remember correctly, and a fair maiden insisted on prooving her wares weren't formica like the table tops.

Ah the mamories...............

Edit: That's reminded me of Mon Cherie's (Berlin), possibly not the best for drinks, but a hoot when your mate gets prematurely evicted from the bath

Ambiorix - Leuven (Home of Stella, a Uni full of girls and getting a blowie in a growbag)

Tommy Rockers - Las Vegas (Living legend live music and plenty of birds)

Moose Creek Lodge - Eilson, AK (Peelers, pool and plenty of pop!)

Kansas City Barbeque - San Diego, CA (Cheap booze every time a train goes past and a must for Top Gun fans - Great Balls of Fire, aaha! (or is it Allan Partridge fans?)).

Any bar in Aalborg - ('Nuff said..)

The Goose - MPA (because it upsets the rest of MPA!)

The Pilots' Pal Bar - Biggin Hill (Home of the pimp formerly known as Joe De-Merchante)

Camelots - Doncaster (Home of the easy)

Kings Arms - York (For ale drinking and getting flooded)

The Campanile - Aviano (home of fine wine, parma ham and nice scenery)

Flahertys - Seville (great place to meet Spanish birds who want to speak English)

Treardur Bay Hotel - Anglesey (Just kidding...anything near Valley is a pooh-hole!)

Muscat Ramada - Oman (for the accomodating hosties)



That all said, my very favourite is the Voodoo Lounge in Vegas.

Now now the Octagon used to be a good laugh.
Only if you think your sister's a looker. There again, I can see why you would like it

PS What's that hotel/pub in Helston with a well in the bar floor, covered with armoured glass?

The Angel Hotel, many happy memories of that place plus a few sad ones including the night the owner was shot dead in the bar

  • The 21 Club, Rowdha Compound, Dhahran - sadly, no longer with us.
  • The Pig & Tape, Deci - where the floor was sticky enough to stop you falling over, even with a large amount of list.
  • The Wig & Mitre, Steep Hill, Lincoln - top nosh and grape juice

The Platinum Club, Kingston, Jamaica.

Air Conditioned, cheaper Red Stripe then the Hilton, loud rock music and for some strange reason the ladies from St.Petersburg get naked.

Anybody else been on Red Stripe?

Kokpit - thanks for the memory refresh, yes Mon Cherie's in Berlin!

British Club in Bahrain with BLTs and fine drinks next to the pool in-between squash and tennis breaks - a fine break away from Khobar Towers.

Another vote for Volcano Club, ASI.

Irish Bar & Galatasaray Bar, Sarajevo.

Camelot, Georgetown, Washington DC.

Many mentions of Helston but nobody mentioned the best: Lady Street. Surely a competitor for prosecution under the trades descriptions act! (sadly now closed).

Abroad; the Duck Inn, Virginia Beach, watching the sun go down over the water while spending duck bucks teaching the Tomcat and hornet drivers how to drink alcohol properly.

SK93,

Thank you, ISTR that the owner when I was there (waaay back, about 1980) was a retired RN CPO Diver, same one?

Another one, the Bombay Bicycle Club, about a mile from the McDonnell-Douglas factory at St Louis airport, especially Friday happy hour. Wall-to-wall McD totty.

Was it Sloppy Joe's just down the road from NAS Key West? Heard it closed/burnt down or something.

The Buck at Rufforth

......Beer, Birds and Baby oil, a perfect concoction for a Linton or Church Fenton trainee!
I've not been there for a while though and don't even know if it's still there.
