Mine was the Spanish Gallen in OD mid 70’s early 80’s…. Even worked there on the weekends I like it so much…
What’s your go to bar today or back in the day?

- Start date
Spent many a night at Elbow Room and Scandals in Rock Hill.
I have spent many of evenings at the S.G. How about Crazy Zaks?
My go to back in the day were Charlie's (Charlie Floyd) and sandpiper. Charlie's first, them on to sandpiper (in M.I.).
Rockafella's, Group, Elbow Room, Sharky's I think it was.
I was at the Galleon a few times. Many moons ago, remember seeing Steve Courson(OL) there. He looked like the Incredible Hulk. It was a cool place to go back then.
Goat Feathers, Naked Iguana, Traxx, Menage...this was in the 1980's....I doubt if any of them are still open...I can't believe i still remember the names of those places...

It's still a thing and probably looks the same... cages and all. I was planning to go there for News Year's and stay at the OD hotel connected to it. The Embers were playing NYE. Had to cancel when something unforeseen came up tho. Hoping next year.
Capt Harry’s Blue Marlin on Cumberland St in Charleston.Where the Killer Whales made their name.
There were only two pool tables, juke box and concrete floor when I worked there. Never were gages. That’s must have been after Fat Harold sold it
I was there Saturday night for a Shag competition and Dancing with the Stars fundraiser.
Way back during the summers it was The Hoppin Hutch in Myrtle Beach. It was a log cabin structure about 1st Ave between 17 and Ocean Blvd. Popular locals bar. Once while drinking my Boone's Farm and watching some friends shooting pool I felt someone breathing on the top of my head I turned around and it was Danny Traylor, all 7 foot leaning over me.
Back in the day...Twilight Lounge, Tally Ho Club, Jokers Three/Castaways (Greensboro), Beach Club (Hwy 17 Myrtle Beach), The Pad (OD) The Embers Club (Raleigh)
I guess nobody else on here from the Charleston area circa late 70’s to early 80’s.Capt Harry (Corcoran) and Jimmy Buffet were good Bud’s and hung out in the Caribbean during the day.The Blue Marlin had that Key West feel about it.Still my favorite.
I was more of a Flying Dutchman kinda guy. Stonehenge was a backup. Saw a lot of good bands in their early years at both.
Went to the Dutchman a few times myself.Saw Montrose with Sammy Hagar as well as several other really good bands.
Rockafella's is now Jake's. I believe it has been for quite a while. I have a funny (mildly unnerving) story about some skinheads trying to recruit me in there one St Pat's. I'm pretty sure Group Therapy is still open. I believe Tanneyhill owns it.
