The 40 Thieves Club was a nightclub on Front Street East in Hamilton, Bermuda. Terry Brannon opened the venue in 1962 and operated it. Retrospective accounts describe it as welcoming Black and white patrons during a period when racial discrimination affected Bermuda. Its distinctive setting included a large circular bar and an interior themed as Aladdin’s Cave. The club drew crowds during Bermuda College Weeks, with queues reportedly stretching around the block. Local entertainers associated with the venue included the Bermuda Strollers, active there during the late 1960s and 1970s. Retrospective accounts also name international performers who appeared at the club, including Aretha Franklin, Louis Armstrong, Tom Jones, Dionne Warwick and Cilla Black. A 1976 court case referred to Terrence Brannon as president of the Forty Thieves Club and described the venue as licensed premises under Bermuda’s Liquor Licensing Act 1974. The club closed in July 1988. Its history connects Hamilton nightlife with Bermuda’s entertainment scene and preserves a record of a notable local venue and its changing social context.
