Akram’s Dumbarton
“Akram’s” night club was the place to be in Dumbarton for many a year, this picture was from it’s peak period in 1984 though I have to say I’m not used to seeing it in the daylight, and Mr Cooper’s “Death Burger” van is nowhere to be seen!!
Anyway this dance lesson didn’t improve my chances much!

I came across your page looking up info & pics on old ‘Akrams’ in Dumbarton.
A group of people are organising a ‘Akrams Revivial Night’ for charity in june this year.
Sounds like a great idea!
Let me know when you fix and date and venue and I will happily advertise it here.
A return of Alex Cooper’s “Death Burger Van” outside will be a must!
Thanks for dropping in.

Hi,
Unfortunately it was burned down, despite attempts to look at a rebuild Akram eventually bought the Boulevard Hotel on the A82 between Clydebank and Dumbarton and as far as I am aware still operators from there.
