So I went to FaiwayView back in 96. I don’t remember too much about it. So that complex had its own bar?

No particular order

The Caterie
Hawks Nest
Murphy’s
Happy Note on Florida Blvd
Fairway View
The Gator Bar
On 1989, you could spend less than 40 $ on a date and have a great time. Afternoon drinks at Happy Note, oysters at Chimes, and them live music and drinks / sandwiches / fried cheese at The Caterie


Sunday afternoon at the Gator Bar , where all ages and classes of BR mixed and mingled.

Man their Friday specials on apps and pitchers was awesome. I planned my entire semester schedule to make sure I could get out earlier enough on Friday to get there.

Yes. All the way in the back. Ironically, I was living in those apartments when it burned down.

The demise of Lava Cantina bummed me out. They had a nice rotation of bands and I liked the cute little redhead behind the bar.
