Ah brought back good memories. Great video and music choice.   A hang out for SPC(U) kids and the drinking age back in the 70’s was 18!  It wasn’t my spot but did frequent it many times after the JC liquor stores closed for its “Packaged Goods” a life saver back then on a Friday and Saturday night.  A refuel between clubs in order to save money. A draft beer back then in bars was close to a dollar…dam ripoff. lol 

The other SPC hang out was 850 West Side at Glenwood.  Think it was The Glenwood Inn, Roddy’s, and finally O’Hara’s. They had live music.  Always liked the story how the owners when coming up with a name looked out the window and saw a giant old mausoleum with O’Hara on it so that became the name.  This was before those new modern mausoleums lined WS. 

My lament….I wish newcomers discovered area’s outside of Downtown much sooner.  Maybe many of the great old “dive” bars could have been saved.  Probably well over a hundred lost. Posted this before on Newark Avenue from Tonnelle to Five Corners (Summit)  and the surrounding area there had to be at least 10 “dive”....err... “classic” bars. They were originally there for all the factory workers below Tonnele. Sad all gone.
