I even remember the Wentworth in William St and the legendary Criterion on Hay St with its cellar bar. You only entered there at your own risk.

Not the Criterion cellar bar as well.

I only visited there about a year or so ago.

What about The Globe on Wellington St. hahaha...that joint was humming at 8.00am

Met my Partner at the Globe 12 years ago. Used to get cranking around 2am and go through to past 8am

Steves in Nedlands was turned into flash apartments & a bottle shop as well from memory.

Steves in Nedlands has been done up was there the other day

The Belmont, the Kewdale, the Cloverdale, Ascot Inn, Sandringham, Morley Generator, The Coolabah, The Dianella, The Ashfield, the Maylands, The Turfside. A very high attrition rate around that area. All pubs used to get massive crowds in the 80s.

Ahh the generator, The Jets on a Friday night those were the days.

Yeah, very sad. I definitely remember the one in Morley. Had slate or some kind of grey stone on the outside.

Remember "The Castle" in North Beach? Another one gone.

Jeez, might be easier to name the ones still in operation.

Unfortunately The Hurl is no more. Got developed for housing.

The Shaftsbury on Stirling St, Northbridge was another ripper old fashioned "pub" pub.

Gee whiz there's been plenty that have bitten the dust in the last 20-30 years! Seems the suburban pub isn't the place to be anymore.

Yeah, it's a weird thing. Don't drink and drive they say, yet nowadays the pubs so far apart that they are no longer within walking distance of home.

The Belmont and The Kewdale are still there, just got done up!

Point in case went up to Butler the other week and it was a 15 minute drive to a one of those villages with an IGA and a liguor store and then a further 5-10 minute drive to we hit a proper pub. Wasn't going in for a drink but just thought of the amount of people you'd catch drink driving up there.
