The Oaks Mall in Gainesville, Florida also had one. It was a fun bar back in the day. I’ve been to both locations in Gainesville and Baton Rouge.

Good times.

Yep. I was a bartender between semesters. It got a tad rowdy.

The REALLY good one was in Bon Marche’ mall. Eat there, then cruise behind the mall to 2001 A Space Odyssey to dance to the Bee Gees.

Spent several Wednesday nights there. Live music and with a small cover charge 3-for-1 32-oz. alcoholic drinks. Good times.

Lived in that place during high school.
Drinking age was 18. We were 16-17
Fake I.D.'s were easy to make.
Servers didn't care as long as my Dad's Mastercard tipped well.
The afternoon drink specials were incredible.
2 for 1 Lynchburg Lemonades served in giant pitchers was the Tuesday special if I remember correctly.

As a wee lad my dad would take me for this exotic culinary delight called "nachos" where they put a spicy pepper known as the jalapeno. It was different than mom's shake and bake. We went every month, Dad and me.

There was a mall on the north side of Austin that had one. Totally agree it was a great place.

I agree it was great. So what went wrong? Being in a Mall?

I remember. They had killer drink specials. Group of us and our dates got buzzed there before an LSU game one time.

Used to go there in early 80s when I was 16-17. Never got carded. Had never heard of Long Island Ice Tea before then. It was awesome. Don’t remember ever eating there - just drinking.

I went there from '84 to about '86 or '87 if I remember correctly.

Definitely did, right across from the arcade and the movie theater. Used to have a special on Wednesdays I think with nickel pitchers of Miller light, in high school we would go and pray our fake ID’s would work.

The Mall of Memphis had one, It looked out over the ice skating rink. Literally was the board at one end of the rink.

I think it was one of the seldom used entrances on the backside?. I don’t think it had an anchor store at that entrance. Not 100% sure though.
