| Comment | It was just "Moon NiteSpot". But everybody called it the moon. I worked for about 10 years in the place. About half the time was in Rooftops the other half in Moon. Was there right up to the licence got revoked around 2004. After the licence got tugged they tried to open as an unders only for the police and council to tell them no chance.
The reason for the name being moon was because the Rooftops name had gotten that notorious the management decided a name change might get the licence board off their back... it became Moon because Rooftops had two letter O's in it, which meant the owner only had to fork out for two letters (the M and the N) to update the neon sign above the door. If he had managed to come up with a clever enough anagram out of Rooftops to save even more money he would have.
