In the early ninety's there was a pub come club up at the Merrion centre that had a walk way with male and female dancers performing. I'm told it used to be called the beer keller or some such before the time I'm thinking of but I cannot think what it was called when the dancers were there. Please put me out of my misery because Its been driving me mad for weeks. I

It was Panama Joes in the late 80's, then became Yell bar which I think is when the dancers were on. Mel B was one apparently.

Thats the beggar I knew as soon as I heard it it would be a obvious moment. Its been bugging me for ages.Thank you. The reason it came up is that a girl I was at school with worked there she was offered work abroad and I'm told ended up a junkie sad world that it is.

Yes i remember the good old days of the Beer Keller in the Early 80's. We spent many a friday afternoon in there instead of the Building college. Fumbling about with a stripper girls suspender belt was far more appealing than cutting dovetail joints i'm afraid to say.

Yeah Yell Bar in the early 90s. Me and me mates used to go there to start our night in Leeds. We used to love it - Girls, booze what more do you need to get your night started when you're 16/17??!I remember the bouncers/security staff being really OTT I almost got thrown out cos I was moving the bar rails apparantly.About 2 years back I did some office work with a girl that used to work at Yell.What's there today? Looks sealed off now?
