Unsure of the location of Robin Hood tavern.
I too was a regular at Palmers right across the road from Neals place. That is how I met Neal, he used to sit out the front and accost guys walking by.
But diagonally opposite Palmers bar, backing onto the rear of Ambience, was a rather (then) uncouth place which banned Thai males from eating or drinking there.
I have avoided the place and when passing have noticed all the patrons still, are European males only
