This was my haunt back in the late 90s early 00s. Had the best night's in this place. Wish they never closed and never changed the place. It used to have a revolving bar and the dance floor was huge and It used to have a stage at the back. Oh the memories. So sad to see it in this state.

[@gonzotrader]

Absolutely loved this place in the mid 90’s

[@mattjackson204]

Wow this brought back some memories. Haven't been in this place for over 15 years. Used to get very messy in there, but looked totally different, from what I can remember 👌🤙

[@Sosophella]

Matt Jackson yeah my mum did it up and changed it when she owned it last.

[@aprilcooper6518]

Dam I had so many good nights here. The revolving bar used to spin my head out. Ffs all the good places in swindon have shut. I live in calne I dont come to Swindon much anymore. So sadly didn't know this had shut .

[@MightyMarshall]

Was once rated in the top 5 clubs in UK in the 90s. A little before my era but had some good times there x

[@markharris222]

Had some great nights in here they had a revolving bar you would walk in and to the bar by the time you got your drink it would have turned 180 degrees and you would lose your mates as for the lift ruler has it if you caused trouble you was taken down in the lift and given a beating by security between floors

[@mattjackson204]

I remember that rumour about the lift 😂. Never found out if it was true tho.

[@bm549]

*attempted beating! ;)

[@paulmcdonald9343]

Losing your mates, we were all mates. But yeah when it span you had to plan when to leap into the void. Especially if they fogged the place out. Turn off the Water to a dribble, pay for volvic. Council pop. The lift was probably for emptying dealer's pockets.

[@oldskoolfool141]

Some big big memories of that place, had a lot of magic there, Sandy Martin (RIP) in his leather shorts cueing the next tune up on his tartan trim phone on a wednesday nappy night, never thought I'd see it like this, cheers for the looksy Kirbz

[@JDam6014]

Went raving here most weekends early 90’s. That place can tell some stories 😂

[@annedawson5918]

It was a great place in the late 70s/80s I can hardly recognise it on here, but the bands the ampi and the revolving bar all fab. Like someone says Sandy Martin was the main man for the disco great times.

[@TheDjProgress]

was the place to be in the 90's! not so much since sadly

[@paulmcdonald9343]

Broke me up a bit, but I'd stopped DOING THE ROOMS 1999.Still had revolving bar by the cloak room. Thanks. With all that room it would be packed. Work hard rave hard.

[@merville78]

Unrecognisable from when I went there back in the late70s/early80s. Back then they had some big names from that era playing there live. Some great memories from those days. Sad to see it in this state now, Unfortunately the state of this is pretty much the state of Swindon town centre now a days.

[@lukeeccles9862]

Hey you were right this did change from brunel rooms to liquid and envy for a few years, envy was on the first floor and liquid was on the second floor where the round bar was and then that shut and reopened as brunel rooms again.

[@bm549]

SN1 posse in da house!

[@amanikellyhooton4203]

[@WarriorWifeWarriorMuma]

Oh my Days!! 8 of us crammed into my car and we drove an hour from Hampshire for the Friday Night Fruitclub all nighter! Propper nutted! Dancing till 6am then out in to daylight and birds cheaping! Dropping Vinnie Clarke at work 7.00am....man is a fuuuucking legend! I'm 59 now (fuck knows how that happened!?) Best times ever!!!

[@KIRBZVIDS]

The bloke who used to run hear has recently been sent to prizion but i think he was one of the top few who had the best bit of swindon going it peolenlike that that mad this town what it was brunnel rooms was one of the best in this town center back then

[@1979Frankyboy]

Fruit club every week mid 90s ❤

[@franksmith733]

Sad to see it like that, walked out of that place in a few states 😁

[@tonywilson9437]

I take it that the circular aperture in the ceiling is where the large rotating circular bar once was. I never realised it was still open as late as 2014. (I moved to Manchester in 2003 visiting Swindon to see my kids and grankids)

[@KIRBZVIDS]

I got told buy few pepole about the spinning bar that would of been cool if it was still there to see

[@mataxford5322]
