Used to love going to the Majestic and catching up with mates at the Sunday sessions as well as after cricket matches. Those were the days my friend I thought they never end…!
Also enjoyed going to the Boorgagoon and catching up with mates after work on Fridays. Sadly both pubs are now gone!
Up on Leach hwy or thereabouts it is mate if that’s the one.

A few off the top of my head that have gone the way of the dodo bird & the EPFC LH are the Swanbourne, Mosman Park, Highway, Cannington, Scarborough, Shenton Park. There used to be one in Northbridge I frequented in my younger days as well that is now a backpackers/Eurobar closed about 1997 just cant remember its name???

We used to have 3 pubs here in York. The Imperial is now a terrible terrible resturant, The York used to be the rough locals bar until it was redone all fancy and went broke and now all that’s left is The Castle which is a fantastic country pub, great chef, cheep meals and Friday night is fight night for the farm boys.
The Newmarket down South Freo way was left derelict the last time I drove past a couple of years ago is another!
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.
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.

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.
