Down Highland a little ways from Tigertown. Went there a bit in '85, '86. Always some pretty interesting people in there. Couple of songs I always think about when that place pops in my head:
Shriekback -- Nemesis
Time Zone / Afrika Bambaataa w/ John Lydon -- World Destruction

That's GREAT!!! Never knew BTE gave Xanthus a nod in song.

By 1990, dancing with a pole at Xanthus had a totally different meaning than those lyrics.

I never went there, or went there once-can't recall. Was Blue Monday big there or am I thinking of The Kingfish?

my room mate bartended at Cilly's so I often went there to drink for free, then did the Dugout, SI, Fred's, etc...
was friends with Michael Murphy and several DKE's and did Murphy's late night followed by IHOP

Xanthus was considered kind of the gay gateway to Opinions IIRC. I remember thinking the S&M Night things they used to do were fun.
