You and I certainly ran across each other. I used to go to the Riverside every Friday and Saturday back when they had the live entertainment. Were you a b/t? or doorman? You must remember the Flamingo too!!
Loved Sharkeys patio. Used to take my boat over there from Bronte and tie up for lunch
I've worked the door at Harlow's, O'Sheas and very briefly the Riverside and Richard's in Mississauga
I only worked the Riverside and Richards for a week or so.
This was almost 20 years ago, back in 1991 Peter owned Harlow's just after the Bicycle Club went belly up.
Then Harlow's was taken over by Nick O'Shea, it became O'Shea's and I worked there for 2 summers.
Reason why I liked working for Peter and Nick was because they would let us drink a bit and
have after hour parties.
Often bouncers from Houlahan's and O'Shea's would switch posts for a few hours just to have a change of scenery, the owners never minded, thats how loose of an atmosphere it was
Also if I remember correctly the Riverside owner (forgot his name) was a dickhead, he got charged with sexually harrassing waitresses, eventually he skipped the country and took off for Florida.
