“My mother worked behind the bar when I was young, I remember in the early sixties a group called Guitars Incorporated played there every Thurday night. … years later it was called the Opera House for a while.”

“Yes it was called the Opera House for sort time.I think it was because musical entertainment was on most evenings.”

“My dad used to work there in the 70,s when it was run by Mary (Mac) Mcdonald. Spent many happy days there.”

“Yes it was called the opera House for a short while after it closed from being the college arm’s, opera House didn’t last long then mac Donald’s took it over”
