I bumped into Frankie Dettori once in Cyclone. I think it was Leo Di Caprio who mentions the Cyclone, something along the lines of "he's there every night, he's a sucker for those Russian girls"

I'm sure there may be many who remember the delights of the Lodge. Drunk White Trash - sign right up!

Yeah the Lodge is still there. The night is called Chi.... so essentially they have 'Chi at The Lodge'...

As far as I am aware 'The Imp' (Imperial Suites) is still there.

Personally I think you need to have a night out on 'the dark side' every now and again otherwise you get to used to 5* restaurants and bars and slowly become one of those expat dicks. We generally take anyone who is visiting for a night out up that end of town just for a laugh. We make them do a whole lap of the Yorke..... hilarious!

Clarification:

YORK: a hotel which has a bar full of sexually promiscuous professional women of Afro-Caribbean descent.

YORKE: a now-retired sexually promiscuous professional footballer of Afro-Caribbean descent.
