Zhivago (15 Lower Baggot Street) – Multiple original Monday complementary “TO-NITE” passes.
Opened in spring 1970, Zhivago was Dublin’s biggest and most popular nightclub of the decade. Famous for its slogan “Zhivago – where love stories begin”, three separate dance floors (one reserved for slow sets), a restaurant, arcade games, and strict door policy enforced by the legendary Jim “Lugs” Branigan. It claimed to be “Europe’s No. 1 Nightspot” and ran until the mid-1980s.

Papillon II Discotheque (“Where the Rainbow Ends”) at Power’s Hotel, Kildare Street – Attractive orange complementary cards for every Monday 10pm–2am.

Lord John Nightclub, 14 Sackville Place – Distinctive yellow complementary cards with crown logo.
Good Time Charly’s night club/restaurant, Upper O’Connell Street – Complementary Tuesday pass.

Carlton Cinema, Dublin – Pink “Admit 2” free-list passes (one numbered E 2491) with original conditions (not valid Fri–Sun or Bank Holidays, no queue-jumping).

Astor Cinema, Eden Quay – White free-list passes with manager’s signature and similar restrictions.

Also included is a signed manager’s complimentary card (valid Mon/Wed/Fri) from Barry J Harrington and a 1974 Parker guarantee card that helps date the collection.

These were genuine free-entry / guest-list style passes given out by management in the 1970s – the classic “chicken-in-a-basket” era when Dublin clubs needed a restaurant licence to serve wine late into the night.Selling points:All original 1970s items (not reproductions)
