Ah the old sunset club at Fred's. Mid to late 80's...$1 freshly squeezed screwdrivers on Thursday afternoons, the deck overlooking the pasture.


Epic times. Friday afternoons at the Tiger across the street with Beat the clock. Drinks started at 15 cents at 3 oclock and went up a quarter every 15 minutes IIRC.

Get drunk, get a big burger at TigerBurger and stumble back to Sharlo and collapse

My era as well. Could not have said it better myself. Those were the best Thursdays of my life. Add in the drink specials when Shaq and Company scored so many points.

Sorry to the OP, not exactly getting responses on the OLDEST bar in BR.

ETA: I'm not from BR, so I wouldn't begin to know the oldest bar. The Advocate columnist Smiley Anders has referenced his time at The Patio bar on Drusilla?/Jefferson?...I forget. Is it still there? Never been there myself.

How old is the Happy Note?
