Take a story of Hamilton nightlife along on your travels with this passport cover inspired by The 40 Thieves Club. Terry Brannon opened the venue on Front Street East in 1962, creating a distinctive gathering place with a large circular bar and an Aladdin’s Cave theme. College Weeks crowds and appearances by local and international entertainers made the club part of Bermuda’s cultural memory. Its history connects island visitors and residents with a venue that reflected the social changes of its time and closed in July 1988.
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.
