Hi there folks.....can anyone remember when the "dancing" Gee Gee's closed down, our group used to go there 1982/83 quite a lot (I think it's now Waxy Connels) & what was it's name changed to after Gee Gee's

thanks in advance !!!

Carnegies?

Was it a carnaigies at some point ?

One of my mates said it was also named "Daddy Warbucks" (sp) post Gee Gee's ???

Aye, it was both at one point.

Cheers for clearing that up, Gee Gee's was a great wee club (or dancing as it was back then), now some pishy Irish theme bar

Is there any other sort of Irish theme bar?

Gigi's.

It's not so much that it's a name change : the original building occupied by Gigi's was demolished.

It was obviously too sophisticated to survive.

Was it really ?

I can remember walking from pavement & up the stairs into Gee Gee's (the dancing), I'm convinced that's where Waxy's now is, although I stand to be corrected

Cheers

Waxy O'Connor's (or whatever) is where Gigi's was. It's just a new build.

So stand corrected. Sort of.

is that not the place that changed its name quite a few times over the years?
peggy sues/talk of the town/46west

went of fire n was just a gap site for years

or that might have been the place next door come to think of it

Heard of all of those pubs.....not sure if they where pubs that had previously been, Gee Gee's / Daddy Warbucks etc, I'll try find out

Cheers.

Turns out that is correct, Daddy Warbucks was in fact after Gee Gee's (not sure which year the fire destroyed part of the building)

Just along from George Square.
