Important Question!

Re: Important Question!

anyone who does not include wednesday summer nights at shags for dime draws loses all credibility in my book.

as easy as it was to pick up chicks while waiting for pizza, shags was just a whole nother level of pimping at its finest. fish in a barrel, my friends. fish wearing minimal clothing with even less morals.

Credibility or age? Where was it and what years are you referring to? I vaguely remember $.50 pitcher night at the Stein, but nothing about this shag's place.

Help.

Re: Important Question!

Best bars.
1. 4th and Main-19801 version. Not even on the Hill shows how good is was.
2. Tony's-1983. Nice to take a girl and not fight crowd, noise, etc.
3. Steb's-1979. Before the hype of being an alternative bar.
4. Pour Richards-1984. Neat change from The Paw
5. The Paw-1979. Drink to get drunk and for cheap. Anybody remember fivers at noon, fourvers at 1, threefers at 2, twofers forever.
6. Bo's-1981. The lines, the chicks, the fights, just your regular college bar.
7. The Apartment Lounge(College Square Mall)-1982. Owner was hot.
8. OP-1980. Nice drunk after work. Could play qtrs forever.

Showing my age, but, everybody has their right to own opinion.

For the younger folks, could anyone describe where these bars were located? Namely Steb's, The Paw, and Bo's?

No mention so far of Suds?

I'd have to go with

1. Stebs
2. Poor Richards
3. OP
4. 4th and Main
5. Suds

Of course, I was a rugby player, so that's why I frequented Suds. I think it was the "official" rugby bar.

Sincerest apologies.

it's sometimes tough to tell who the person behind the computer (or would it be in front of the computer?) is, when all you have to go on is the text they type.


I'm sure most people didn't know that I'm really just a trained ape.
(well, sorta trained, at least). hehe

Re: Important Question!

Back in the day the men's room at the Stein was like science fiction. The stool looked like something out of a Turkish prison.

Is that stool still there? The sink was a defacto urinal back in the day also.

I would kill to start college over again, talk about the easy life.

Stool? There was a stool in there? Oh, that's right, it was the sink. There was also the the trough to do your business. And lastly the holes in the walls. They were actively used as well. Plus you always had to look out so you didn't step in someones vomit. It truly was one of the most disgusting bathrooms I have ever used.....but I used it often. Three-fers on Friday afternoons were a great start to the weekend.

The best part of suds is watching the drunk people do the "bone"
Sharkeys is pretty sweet also for your 21st they do the blue wave

I threw out Suds in post #39...I loved that place.

Stebs was where that ugly vacant lot is now next to Hillstreet News and Tobacco; Bo's is now Sharkey's..but it was better when it was Bo's IMO. The shot chair was just a spectacle and the T-shirt for doing...was it 25 shots? Anyone happen to still have one of those? What a trophy I don't know the Paw...sorry. Must have been before 1990.

The "thrones" were on the pizza house side bathrooms. I actually saw a guy "using" one of those one night. Burned in my memory. I'm sure a lot of penicilin was in order for that poor soul.

Pour Richards took over The Paw location around 1982 or 3? Last bar on the west side of college street toward the bottom of the hill.

Thanks...I "enjoyed" Pour Dicks very much in my days. I remember the bars clearing out to head to Dicks to watch the Simpsons when that first came out.

Re: Important Question!

Now I'm curious about this "drunken monkey".
But you probably had to be there to understand it.

It was $15 cover and then all you can drink. It included any mixed drinks, shots, etc. I think they even used to have pizza too, but that may have been another night.
