hi all im just new to the site and was wondering can any one remember Pukka on ocean road.

What did you think of it?

the staff were ok and the doormen wernt as bad as some bars

Hi Craig.. sorry i never went to that place so carnt give you my views... Hope you enjoy this site ,, Have Fun.

Weyaye...Pukka was a must on County days lol!! Played a couple of gigs there as well when they were putting bands on. It was a grubby hole of a place but a nice place to go get some cheap drink and watch some decent live bands What has it turned into now? I can't think!

which bar was pukka
can remember the name, but cant place it

It was just down from Roxannes. Called 'Pukka Wine Bar' or something like that but don't believe the name lol

Yes i remember pukka, i got my foot sliced open on a broken bottle on the floor trust me... in fact when i think about it iv got quite a few drunken scars

i used to work the door there with colin graham and mick sweeney

And what did u think of it Craig ??

I must admit Anna, i did'nt like it much

I thought that's were they meant aswell, does anyone remember the lad who used to run that place? he worked on the buses afterwards..
I won't name him but what a self absorbed guy he was

I was trying to think of it's earlier name Mr A

I used to get in there when it was Broadlands.

did pukka shut down becuase it didnt have a license to sell alcohol? i was there on the last night when my friends band were playing.

Me too...

hiya well i thaught pukka was a dump but after working there 6 years you get used to it. it didnt shut because of no licence it shut because the company that bought it went bust. was a busy little bar for a weekend.

I LOVED Pukka. It was an excellent place to start off. Used to have the 50p shots of firewater! I think the Manager was called Emma, and I remember a Trish? working the bar? It was good!

yeah thats right thats me Emma, pukka was a great bar in its day loved the place. cant recall a trish?
