Revisiting iconic live music venues around the Northern Suburbs of Sydney, my first venue is "The Venue" AKA The Dee Why Hotel. It had a few names in its day from The Venue to The Glider Room to Jades Place to The Jet Club.
I revisit the old pub and discover that it has been knocked down and rebuilt into a new complex. They have a memorabilia room with all the posters of the bands that used to play there.
Thanks

Saw Hoodoo Gurus, Lime Spiders, Kings of the Sun, Johnny Diesel, the Smithereens, plus AC/DC, Van Halen, Zep, Hendrix and Doors tribute bands in the 90s: left my liver and my hearing there ....
The same thing that happened to Narrabeen sands. They gutted it, got rid of the garden and turned it into a cold soulless dive with massive screens and pokies that most people don't want to go to.
Growing up in Mona Vale, this was the place we went to the most. Saw the Radiators there on my 18th. A friend who was underage grew a beard so he wouldn't get asked for ID. Also saw Celibate Rifles, Cruel Sea, Lime Spiders, Hoodoo Gurus, Spy V Spy, Concrete Blonde, Screaming Jets, You Am I and a lot more I've probably forgotten. Was going to see Nirvana there but it got cancelled. Would probably have seen INXS when they played the Jet Club opening but already had tickets to them at Selinas so didn't. Great venue.
The Jet club was the place to go to on a Thursday night 27/28 years ago to drink copious amounts of $2 bourbon/ vodka mixers and turn up to work on Friday still intoxicated! Fun times!! ( as long as you got there before 10pm to avoid the $5 entry fee)!! not to forget getting a kebab from kebab world at 3am haha
Lol you just said it, the Sands is what we used to call it, replaced with a pokie lounge how typical
Played there many times saw the Church when Peter Koppes was leaving the band , The Angels farewell concert with original members , great venue.
There was another Jet Club in Coolangatta back around that time. It hosted the best going around, Oil's, Kevin Borich, Farnham, Dragon, Party Boys, etc.
I saw the Hunters & Collectors at the DY Hotel ( The Venue ) around 1986. I definitely remember the night because I ran up the arse of a car at Chatswood on the way home!! 🤣
Sad those days have gone
In 1990, I was backpacking around Australia. I stayed in Manly for 2 months.. we went up to Dee Why to the Venue some weekends .. I saw Boom Crash Opera (March 24) Underneath What opened up. on April 16 I saw Johnny Diesel & the Injectors , The Hurricanes opened up . Also saw some Tribute bands , Australian Doors (March 3) and a David Bowie Cover Band (March 10) .
Faith no more with Ratcat.
Was a great venue to see bands , so many great memories, both Oz bands like the Stems, Lime Spiders, The Trilobites and international acts like Rollins Band, The Damned, Faith No More, The Motels, Concrete Blonde, just to name a few!
I've just found your videos! They are fantastci!
I lived in Mona Vale coming out from the UK and this pub was the BOMB, I saw so many great bands, I remember turning up for Faith No More, no idea who they were and was shocked at the SOLD OUT sign as that had never happened to me before haha! So many international acts played, I seem to remember seeing the Violent Femmes, the Cramps and Butthole Surfers
Was the best venue. Lived in Katoomba for a while around 1990. Me and a mate used to make the 6 hour round trip quite regularly. Favs were Carter USM, Pop Will Eat Itself, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, so many TISM, Violent Femmes, Hard Ons. Sad that I missed Public Image Limited which the locals said was the best ever gig there.
Love your u tube channel and the subject. Shame it's only places in Sydney.
Favourite moments for my at the Glider Room what the Dyvnals and Concrete Blonde.
Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds played there on a weeknight great gig cos you could walk to the front of the stage and then to the bar with no worries and Izzy is so cool....😎
Great stuff, can you do the Mosman Hotel? Had a great red carpet and plenty of great bands played there, I saw Ratcat there before they were famous. Think it is a health club now.
I saw a couple of bands there back in the day . Celebate Rifles I remember .
