Todd's brother, Troy, was a stand-up dude. He managed Ninfas a few years back, but I'm not sure where he is now. He also used to work the door for a few years at Tiger Bar.

I used to play poker with Todd and a bunch of other regulars after the bar closed back in '03 or '04. Todd would just let us drink whatever we could get to behind the bar so that was kind of nice of him. Until he would start shoving drinks down a girls throat in an attempt to get in her pants.

To this day I've never been in a place that had a more disgusting restroom than the Tiger.

Who remembers the Tiger Bar in Tigerland??


Am I getting so old that this is a thing? I know it's been a few years now since it's been that, but it's not like trying to remember where Murphy's was. I never really frequented there. I bet I've been in twice and both times it was pretty empty. Actually turned away at the door one night because they said it was too slow to let anyone in, they were just going to close. I know people who used to hit up Tiger Bar Tuesdays though.

Picture it....... late 2003, it's a Thursday night (ladies night), Saban has the program is on a tear. There is a line at the bar so you go for the special and buy TWO (double fisted) of the huge pint cans of Fosters they sold..... Then all of the sudden you here "Da da da da da daaa daaa" and the entire bad breaks out in the Bunny Hop line dance

Or the sadness when the lights came on for last call, and the Charlie Brown song came on.

Best: Back in '92, me and this girl I worked with at the time ran into each other at the Tiger. She ended up going home with me. We've been married for 20 years now.

Worst: I parked my brand new '91 Mitsubishi Galant in the apartment parking lot behind the Tiger. It got towed.

Before Bogies, it was once a dance club called Gridlock, back in 93.

What OTer would not do this if he owned a bar? I'd have had a "two free shot minimum" for every female patron.

Specifically an industrial dance club. Was a confusing ambiance and music selection. Acid Rock followed by NIN.

lol. You just made me remember something. Was there after a football game one night in late 80's early 90's and was drunk as shite. Came out at 2 when they turned on the lights. As I'm walking out, I see my car on the back of a tow truck getting ready to go over the train tracks. Got towed from the apt complex behind it. Talk about a WTF moment.

I remember that place being called Docks and they had the original drinking with Lincoln. Before that it was Tomorrows lounge back in the late 70s and early 80s.
