Morse Posted 9 February, 2015 Share Posted 9 February, 2015 It has, and Derek the guitarist is the new landlord! Stories like this give me renewed optimism for the future... I remember some very messy nights in the Frog probably nearly 30 years ago now!!! Fook Help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 9 February, 2015 Share Posted 9 February, 2015 Does anyone know of a bar called Jesters that doesn't have a dubious rep? I know Jesters in Southampton and a Jesters in Plym. Both have dubious reps. Lovely one just down the road from me. Perhaps it only because there is one and when many get together, all hell breaks loose? http://www.thejesterhotel.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know for sure that Tuesday isn't BDSM night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 9 February, 2015 Share Posted 9 February, 2015 I didn't think there were TWO universities. Obviously Southampton University and another ? Chimpstitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatboy Posted 9 February, 2015 Share Posted 9 February, 2015 The London Arms or The Edge is a cracking night in midweek. This. Good luck in the meat draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfcuk fan Posted 9 February, 2015 Share Posted 9 February, 2015 Definately do the London Hotel, they would just lurve you guys in there :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 Definately do the London Hotel, they would just lurve you guys in there :-) The Edge would be better for the women in your group.. The Wetherspoons in Southampton all seem to serve reasonably kept beers, and a changing range, and as you'll be saving yourself £1.50 a pint over normal pub prices it can add up. From then on it really depends on your age and tastes, but Southampton has never been a particularly vibrant city in the nighlife stakes (from my vague memories, that is..).

I assume its nothing like it was now ? It's reopening in a couple of weeks after 10 years of being closed. Meant to be going for a similar approach to the original.

Tickets (for three nights) sold out in minutes. Plenty of people remember it fondly, will be interesting to see the age range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsaint Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 I've gotten a lot older fatter and less coordinated since I last danced on a table there. Always used to go there after having a skinful in the Canute so memories have been a little hazy at times. I have a distant foggy memory of only having bottles in there - was that right ? So chuffed that the guitarist ended up as the landlord. If it really does go back to its former glory it gives me hope in a world where people asking for a decent pub are being told to go to a Weatherspoons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has it's own thread: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?53265-Frog-amp-Frigate-Re-opening#.VNoNnvmsUYc I'm looking forward to it immensely. I once bought Neil Ruddock a pint in there.
