Bodega
15 Cross Street

The Bodega became Top of the Town


Dec 1960


Dec 1962

The Bodega was in a basement opposite the Royal Exchange. Upstairs was a bar called the Red Barn. My friend and I used to go there most Saturday nights. I remember the cloakroom attendant was a German girl. The club was turned into a shop selling Goth clthes in the 1970s.

I'll never forget the night I walked into the Bodega, and, there on stage....Cyril Davies & the Rhythm and Blues Allstars, with Long John Baldry belting out St. James Infirmary. I can go to my grave a happy old man.
