Anyone remember Uncle Sams...? It was a bit before my time, but Two White Eyes supported Double Happies there in 1985. I have the feeling it was the place above where Starbucks is on Ward St, which became a dodgy night club (maybe it still is?), but i could be completely wrong. - (thedugganaut 15 Sept 06)
Yes, I think that's right. All I remember is they didn't serve milk and if you wanted one you has to order a Kahlua and Lilk without the Kahlua. Also, what was the name of the big bar upstairs in the building that is now a craft shop next to PaknSave on North Victoria Street? They held some orientations there in the late-80's/early-90's with Schnell Fenster, Pop will eat itself, Exponents etc, and there was also a couple of "hardbeat" (remember that) events held there at about the same time.
