I did think it was the Gaiety Bar but that's not in that area - I looked at old photos of the Gaiety Bar online and thought it was the same building. Anyhow I only went in there a couple of times, it had a dj playing records upstairs and a public bar at ground level with topless barmaids pulling pints on certain nights of the week - which is the reason I remember it - can't recall anywhere else in and around Leeds that had bare breasted women pulling pints ! Not the New Roscoe ? Still there I think isn't it?.

It certainly sounds like the Gaeity. Went there one lunchtme (about1975) with a crowd, and they had topless barmaids and waitresses. The waitresses were not exactly young and perky, and in at least one case one of her appendages drooped into a blokes beer

A mod can delete this if it is deemed unsuitable!

For the brnrfit of Blakey, perhaps I should alter the phrasing to "dangled in". I suppose , if it had dangled in far enough we could have measured the specific gravity by the weight of displaced beer !
