Bell Bottoms was awesome, even during the mid to late aughts

Bell Bottoms and Jitterbugs were definitely good times. I would also throw in The Blue Monkey.

To this day I still think The Blue Monkey was my all time favorite bar

JitterBugs was awful, and I loved it. I’d drag folks there anytime I could

Louie Louie was awesome for live shows

The Garage over off Highland Ave by Botega was pretty cool like Blue Monkey... it was mainly outdoor though.

Many a night, start off in Dave's pub, pounds drinks, meet some girls and end up at BellBottoms and head back to somebody's place.

Bell Bottoms was around until the late aughts at least. Not that long ago.

The Blue Monkey was a good spot too.

Is J. Clyde still in operation?

My old haunts were Flanagan’s, The Crossroads, Cassidy’s and Bank’s Lounge.

Bell Bottoms....just reading that name makes my liver hurt.

Can't not throw in the old 5 Points Music Hall.

The Garage is still open. Hanging in there with Dave's, The Nick, and Marty's. I met the owner's of Dave's last year. Told me he's considered selling his place on numerous occasions and has been offered a huge sum of money to do so. But he can't bring himself to do it.

AK did mention they were in "serious discussions" about renovating Bartow and what that looks like and that he expects Jelly to make a decision soon.

Bartow needs it BAD!

I used to go to Jitterbugs a lot. One time I was there and I saw Bob Huggins walk in, look around for a minute and leave. Guess he was looking for a player.
