The Riverina prior to its destrction (Nexus 1993)

The Hotel Riverina once existed on the corner of Grey and Clyde Streets, and provided a great venue in the early-1990's. Bands initially played in the "Public Bar" on the Grey St entrance, although in its final year(s) the band venue moved to the Clyde St entrance. After closing time, a popular stop for food was Stu's Piecart, imortalised in the song by Mobile Stud Unit, which was parked 50 metres down the road on Grey St. Built in 1951, it was not considered old or architecturaly notable enough to avoid demolishion in late 1993. The site is now a bank and carpark.
