Ravenous individuals would get an unexpected surprise when they knocked on the door of what they thought to still be a Chinese restaurant.
Situated between a shoe shop and hairdressers, on Cases Street stood a restaurant. However, unbeknownst to many, the venue was transformed into a “mysterious cavernous cellar club” which would later become The Masquerade.
As customers stepped off the street and into the club, affectionately known as The Mazzie, they were greeted with “truly scary, dark scary like Scottie Road” stairs which led down to an underground “Aladdin’s cave”.
