“Did this club later change its name to Smugglers?”

“I believe it did ... I think it had another name too. Today it’s joined to an all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant!”

“If it was Smugglers, i remember going to see the punk band Blitz there in 1983, some of the gig was filmed by The Tube, my other main memory was having to walk home from Stockport to Glossop cos there was no buses”

“You actually entered Dungeons via a door located to the right at the top of the steps next to the Plaza.
Directly infront of the door was steps leading to the office where you paid to get in, to the right was the cloakroom and then you had to go down more steps to the bars and dance floor (passing the ladies toilet on your left)
It was a great place to go and was always full.
Had loads of great nights there :0) and then had to wait for a taxi home in the long queue opposite the CO-OP!”
