Long lost bars thread

The Sandbar- ues, nyc
Kenny finn's- ditto

[iceman]

Matt Kane's in DC used to be cool. Old Irish place that lasted about 50 years past the time it was in the right neighborhood. The hood turned to ghetto, then came back as offices. They had these giant banquet rooms out back that hadn't been used in decades, tables still with glasses and plates on them, like it was set up for the 1941 FOP ball and it got canceled because of Pearl Harbor or something. Very creepy and weird. But the bar was good.

Here's an old pic I found online - brick fllors, cool old bar:



It closed in the '80's, not sure what that guy at the bar is looking at but it can't be a smartphone as it appears to be.

1872 Club = what ever goes
The Reunion = college town meat market

both in Shetown WV

[Buster Highmen]

The Plough and Stars (Cambridge, MA) circa 1981. It ain't that no more.

[F#*k you cat]

The Zepher so many good times there.

[Buster Highmen]

The Boot, Whistler.

The Buckaroo, Fremont.
The Fremont Tavern.

Fortunately, the Blue Moon is still around and funky.

The old Bar of America...Truckee. Yeah, I know its still there. I'm talking about the bar as it was before it was sold and turned into a restaurant. Now it's owned by GarWoods.

Wonder how long The Tourist Club and Pastime will hang on.

The Hob Nail....Sacramento

[Flounder]

The Generic Bar - Syracuse
The valley club - Rutland
The last chance - Burlington

All great in the late 80's/early 90's and all gone today. Still feels weird to go downstairs at the Flynn and remember the chance.

Shooters 21 at Lake of Ozarks. Original host of the Shooters Shootout, fast boats and bikinis

[bushman]

The original Balboa Yacht Club Panama City, Panama. They brought in hookers by busload and mystery meat on a stick grilling in the parking lot. Good times.

The Zepher so many good times there.

x2. Was only there once, had a layover til 2am on an Amtrak trip, stumbled out of there with a big grin on...

Log Cabin in JH.

The basement bar in Big Sky's main building when GondolaOne loaded there next to M.R. Hummers. Cannot remember the name tho...

The Atomic and the Western in Vegas.

TBTNMMN in DC/Logan Circle- the bar that's not mentioned by name. Hot and cold running hookers and other vices..

X2 on the Cabin. It was a fun place, I like many others crashed once so hard riding my bicycle home from there after closing time. OTB face to the sidewalk!

The VC. That's a real bummer for the apres scene at the Village imo. The whole base area feels like Aspen now. I guess it's nice for the rich people but I'm a lot more comfortable in a more gritty scene.

Murphy's in Steamboat.

[gatorboy]

Sundance Saloon in Lionshead.

[SB]

Honorable mention for the Red Shed, also in Shetown WV.

As a underage lad, 11 or so, I would peruse the parking lot on a Sunday morning finding all kinds of goodies. Cash money, beers, booze, drugs, paraphernalia, soiled panties and so forth.

HAHA! Now that's gritty!

Kermits...I blame the fact that in the last few years it seemed the entire staff was on meth.

Scotty B, if you're ever in the neighborhood of Tucson definitely look up the Meet Rack. It's one of those that will be on here someday. Worth going to before it's too late. The owner, God, drives a pink and yellow metro, and cuts off panties and bras to hang on the wall. It has a well used and super adventurous sex room, and there's a condom dispenser in the ladies room. If a girl buys one a siren goes off as she walks out greeted to large applause. Also, if you get God tattooed on you your first beer is free for life.

Don't ask for the latest Stone dry hopped ipa either. I think they have either Heineken or Budweiser and that's it, aside from bottom shelf liquor of course. If you want a headache, this is the place.

The Buckaroo, Fremont.

Man, I loved the Buckaroo when I lived in Seattle (90-92). That was my alcoholic phase and I spent a lot of time in that bar.

The Slurp and Burp, Moscow, ID.

Remember the biker d00d that used to blow up dynamite in the street just before closing. The guy was a coke dealer and fucking crazy. Anytime he set down his leathers, there was a big klunk
. No wonder why there.

Also, the Vuarnet in JH back before that fucking Sublette quad.

I don't remember that, but I don't think I was ever there at closing. Had 2 or 3 friends that tended bar at the Red Door down the street, and if I was drinking at closing time, I wanted to be drinking after closing time, so I would be at their establishment well before last call.

The Red Door used to be the Fremont Tav before they moved it. Now that was a dive.

[Danno]

La Boheme on Phinney Ridge was another favorite watering hole.

[Pegleg]

Oasis in Boulder. It's been closed for 10 years and I still probably drank more there than I've drank everywhere else in Boulder combined. Decent beer, not-quite-decent food, but always a good time. Played a lot of gigs up on the second floor next to the dartboards.

Kermits...I blame the fact that in the last few years it seemed the entire staff was on meth.

I still regret that, in 15 years of driving past Kermit's to go to the mountains, I never once stopped there. I'm sure it wasn't anything great, but I'd like to know what I missed.

[Steven S. Dallas]

The Plough and Stars (Cambridge, MA) circa 1981. It ain't that no more.

Van Morrison's not walking through the door any time soon but the Plough is still going strong.

The Littlest Bar, on the other hand, RIP.
