The bouncer was a wrestler and it was a bit of a hole, but on the plus side it was open all hours.

Wasn't it owned by Gil Singh, or was he just the doorman? We went in couple of times to extend our Xmas drinking times. Apparently the only times it was entered by the cops is if they were looking for someone, apart from that they let it be. IIRC it was 50p to get in, it opened at 3pm when the pubs shut.
