During the 1980s this used be known as "Cassidy's Cavern" and it has been suggested that after that period it was called the "Sub Club" for a short period.

Chris Smith has passed on information that tells me that the "Sub Club" opened in 96 or 97. He thinks that "Cassidy's" closed 3 years prior. He also told me that "Phoenix Tea Rooms" was there in the late Seventies. Oh, by the way, Cassidy's / Cassidy's Cavern was a restaurant, not a pub.
