Hey all

I stopped by the Cotton Club about 25 years ago and picked up am old menu and framed it on purple and gold for my dad. It is signed by Louis Constantine.

I am not sure how well this image will appear since I have never posted a pic to a forum

Here are some prices

Fried shrimp 1.50
Rib eye 2.00
1/2 fried chicken 1.45 whole 2.60

Case of Jax 3.79 hot 4.13 cold

I hope the pic shows up.

How old do you think this is?

Thanks

They were the Constantino's. Don't be anglicizing their name. Place was awesome.

ETA, But I'm not old enough to remember them serving Jax Beer or $1.50 shrimp dinners. I do recall being a kid and having to get in John Mahaffey's way so we could get up and play the trivia machine/poker machiney thing on the bar. Dude was pretty much implanted there for any time he actually wasn't on the air.

I am 62 and based on the prices on that menu it was printed way before my time. Probably late 50's - early 60's.
