Anyone else remember how badass The Gold Mine in the quarter and Mudbugs in Gretna were back in the day? As soon as you would walk in Kyper, Egyptian Lover, Debbie Deb, etc. would be blaring and everyone was partying/dancing their asses off and having a blast. If only we could go back in time...

The spinning wheel of drink specials in the Gold Mine was great. One of the specials was nickel draft.

We did a bus trip to Nola with Tri-Delt, and The Gold Mine was one of our stops. Had my first Flaming Dr. Pepper there. The local girls in my circle seemed to consume them with much enthusiasm

No complaints of heartburn either

I remember the Gold Mine before the enlarged DJ booth and sidebar. They played better music in the late 1980s before the kyper and Debbie Deb crap.

Our 80's/ 90's quarter trip:
-everybody meet at Pat O's
-walk to the Gold Mine
-After beers and darts(juiced for flaming Dr. Peppers by
this time).
-walk to Melius'(probably my favorite 80's bar)
-when Melius' gets old walk to the Dungeon or just end the
night

During the height of 80's ecstacy, what was the name of the club on the lake front that looked like a greek temple-- the name seemed to change every 12 to 18 months?

In order to compare clubs from 30-35 years ago and today, does that mean y’all are still going to clubs today? 3+ decades of clubbing? Still taking shots and eating ecstasy?

Not really a club but Que Sera packed in the talent on Wednesday nights back then. Head over to F&M’s later in the night.
