To revert to a happier post - I was glad to see the discussion of Club X and the old gay/gay-friendly scene as there's a new Facebook page collecting information on "Lost LGBT Cardiff" and there are questions about lots of gay venues that are long gone, from rough spots in the docks like the Windsor Tavern (?) to the back bar of the Angel in the 1960s. Bringing over a few specific queries, does anyone here remember anything about: The Amsterdam (under the Showbiz); The Custom House; Charlestons (Bute Street somewhere); The Bristol Hotel; The Salutation (opposite the Golden Cross?); The Glendower, where Callaghan Square is now; and the Fishguard Arms? Most of these were mixed, we think? And there are loads more places mentioned, like Exit and Hunters and The Tunnel.
