The Pineapple
37 St George’s Road, BS1. 1997 – present.
The third gay pub in the Frogmore Street area, capitalising on the business attracted to the Griffin and the Queen’s Shilling. It opened in Spring 1997. A small pub with a rather cramped bar area, it put on regular Sunday night spots with karaoke or drag acts.
For a few years a small and rather struggling Mardi Gras weekend was staged in the car park opposite the Pineapple until it folded with financial problems in 2007.
Worked at this venue for Manager Alan as a DJ, Had some fun times.
I was the licencee of this fantastic pub in the early 80s . Annie and I had some great times running what was then a very busy pub. How sad it is now closed.
