Built next to the Haymarket complex, opened mid to late 1980s Closed 1997. During its short existence originally an M&B house, became Burtonwood and reverted to Bass before closing.

The Bohemian was built on the site of the former Repository Hotel, demolished some years before. At the time we viewed it as a very poor substitute building compared with the more ornate Repository, looking at it later it was at least all quality brickwork.
Pretty sure the Bohemian was opened before’87 as it was one of my favourite haunts when I started drinking in town late ‘84
Opened 1975 (as per advert in Mercury January of that year) – looking for staff )
Many thanks for that info Neil, much appreciated, It has been edited to show c1984, thanks for your interest and support.
It was definitely well established in 1979 when I worked in the Haymarket and spent my evenings there.
Thanks Tony, very helpful, will edit to c mid to late 1970s until we get definite opening date.
