Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Gay life IN Harringay
I am reliably told that there used to be a gay/bi bar in Green Lanes (next to the Salisbury?) in the early eighties. Would a gay bar in Harringay take off again? A friend of mine has money to invest and, with Catch22 in Turnpike Like set to close once the lease runs out, I think it could be a starter. Discuss.

The old Coliseum on the corner opposite the Salisbury (where those flats are now) housed the gay nightclub 'Bolts' with regulars such as local boy George Michael. Read more here
Don't see why a gay bar wouldn't be viable now.

Think Justin should change this post title to 'Gay Life in Harringay' though, as Bolts wasn't on the Ladder and this website is for Harringay residents not just the Ladder residents, eh Justin?

omg don't let Hugh hear you say that, you'll get really done. Don't say I didn't warn you, J :D
This site isn't for Harringay ward, remember, Harringay as defined by the map on the first page which includes the pub and that horrible, horrible banner.

The Manor House was also a gay venue in the late 1970's
