What Bars and Clubs Did You Go To Back In The Day?

[The Blowhard]

I loved the punk clubs in "the city" but before that my friends and I scoured the tri-state area, mostly Long Island. Places like:
Speaks
Hammerheads
My Father's Place
Rumbottoms
OBI
Malibu
and a few others. It's all a blur! Anybody else party at these places?

I saw some great shows in the old Lone Star Cafe. Maybe the greatest was when I saw James Cotton (Blues harmonica player) and Koko Taylor on a double bill. Me and my buddy were 19 years old, and the only white dudes in the place. It was the first time I had seen a live blues show, and I'll never forget it. James and Koko rocked the house!

The Lone Star was great. I loved seeing Kinky Friedman there.

I would die a happy man if I could somehow get my hands on the giant lizard that was on the roof of that place.

I always saw "The Good Rats" at Speaks, and "Zebra" at Hammerheads. "Twisted Sister" was also big in the club circuit before they became big.

I remember going to Danceteria
when I was a Freshman at Fordham!

There was this puny little
club in my hometown (Oyster
Bay, L.I.) called Heartbeat.
It was lame but they got some
pretty amazing bands to play
there-- the Ramones (oodles of
times!), The Replacements (I
got to see Bob Stinson perform
in a tuxedo shirt and
pantyhose, sans underwear),
etc...

F- Wad - Did you go to Spit a lot I worked there for 3 years. I was the girl you saw down stairs by the bathrooms selling the t-shirts for spit and hats. I 'm sure you know me. Remember the lady with red hair selling the pretzels? that was my best buddy, her name was Susan with the long nails!!!!!!!
I was dating Doug the bartender for a year.....Do you also remember RALPH the best bartender there?;)

I did go to a lot of those bars on LI such as Speaks, OBI, Hammerheads, etc. but also saw live bands on SI in places like the Caves, in NJ the Royal Manor. I also worked one summer in a place in Baldwin called Blackbeards, they had live bands as well

Oh man, The Caves! It has been a while! I also remember "The Factory" on SI, which later was renamed "Snoopys".

[radio junkie]

In New Jersey, the Soap Factory was big. I saw the Joe Perry Project there. The Meadowbrook was good for live bands. Some bands I remember seeing there were David Johansen, Iggy Pop, and if anyone remembers Our Daughters Wedding, they had a big hit with "Lawn Chairs". Aldo's Hideaway and Wally's Backstage Cafe. All popular and all gone now.

The only time I have a drinking problem is when I don't have a drink
