Down Under, Peter Street. (c) Ruba.
Down Under was an Australian themed cellar bar, just off Peter Street, and was very popular in its day. Free to get in but with a late licence, it was popular with many later in the evening after the pubs had shut. It had a disco on a Friday and Saturday which attracted a younger crowd, and indeed, the place itself was kitted out a bit like you would remember your local youth club to be. Despite its popularity it eventually closed and was replaced by a club, Soft, then Doop, and a wine bar/club, Baby Grand. This too is now closed.
