Sal ('s saloon in Monroe)

My first job was for Sal, It came quickly after I realized I was not as good at baseball as I thought I was. Sal was in my oldest brother's wedding and my middle brother worked there for some time in college also. My middle brother told me last night that Sal was on a vent due to Covid-19. If any one has a few seconds for a prayer for Sal everyone that's been in Sal's in Monroe , for the beer bust on Thursday or Flaming Dr. Peppers, would appreciate it.

I heard this morning Sal was in the hospital. Hopefully he gets turned around.

Best bar in N Louisiana.

Damn, hate to hear this. I saw Sal in Waterfront a few weeks ago and talked to him for a while. He was fit as a fiddle then. Same as he looked 20 years ago. He’s a NELA legend. Hope he pulls through.

I don't think I'm welcome in Sal's anymore. 
Backroom Booray is a bitch.

So sad to hear about Sal. I spent a lot of time there from 1978-1981. Possibly was served a drink or 2 by you or your brother. How old would Sal be now? Maybe 70 or so?

If I had to bet, I'd say 71 or 2. You probably missed us behind the bar. I was there in 87 ( I think) and my brother probably 75ish- they are quite a bit older than I am.

We used to meet at Sols pipeyard for after school fights in high school at OPHS (before it moved).
i guess sonic was too close to campus.

That’s a cool story Cad. Not sure of the connection between Sol’s Pipe n Steel and Sal’s saloon though

I was a regular 84-87’ , I hope Sal is ok

He is in ICU. Not on a vent and his test has not come back yet.

That's good news, if true.

That was update I got Tuesday. Will try to get another update today.

He did test positive but not on vent which is good news

Thanks. Certainly hope all goes well for him.

Bump. Anybody got an update on Sal?
Posted on 4/10/20 at 3:30 pm to nwacajun
Damn. Must have happened quick. Seems like two days ago I saw him driving his truck around.
ETA: guess it was longer than that.

Sal’s improving. A good friend of his told me he was arguing with his doctor today about coming home.

Good to hear. Sounds like he’s getting back to normal.
