Funniest night was also before the Taste of Buffalo because all the local theatre people were exhausted from having to set up for their day jobs!
This is a LONGGGG thread & I did not catch every post , but did anyone mention "Frank's Casa Nova" , "Flay's" , "New Colonie Lounge" , "Sveedees" , I mean all the men in here should remember these strip joints ? Oh & that place on the small hill at Tonawanda & Amherst St. , I forget the name , only "Sveedees" remains & of course is called "Club Chit Chat" , last of the strip bars within the city limits I believe , unless the "Colonie" still exists ?
No lol...I lived near Franks Casa Nova, and went there often to see Busty Russell...She was such a nice women always friendly to me. I lost contact with here through the years...I wonder is she even still alive ??

riv , I remember going to "Frank's" as an 18 year old & watching a cute young pretty blond about my age . I felt that here was some guy's young daughter up there being ogled & degraded & have never liked going to these places..........But peer pressure when I was younger forced me to go a few times..............
I'm not real big onj the strip bars either.
I did used to go to Colnie once in a while, since I lived right up the street, but that was more when the old man owned it.
Shame what happened to him.
Let me articulate this for you:

I remember the Bryant and Stratton mixers their on Monday nites in 1970.
how about the Mug? It was in the plaza across the street from Caseys on Hertel. Alot of good bands played there.Draft beer was 10 cents!
Sue,
I saw your post, from several years ago, regarding JJ Parkes tavern on West Ferry. Could you give me ant details about the tavern, It was owned by a family friend and my family used to work at the tavern.
Thanks,
Mike
I was at one @Beaver Island State Park in 1971.
Wally Bobecks - burnt to the ground in the mid 90's - story goes he keep fighting to get inside while it was burning - cops had to haul him away - later it was said he had about five or six suit cases on the second floor filled with cash - when the fire was put out about the only thing standing was part of the actual bar.
What was "Good Bar" on Elmwood and forest called prior to Good Bar ?

After spot for Timon/Mount mercy dances. Seemed classy at the time, with red leather seats and padding all around, I think.
Drinking there at age 16, with some kind of very shaky proof. Probably drank Schmidts.
Also, not really a party bar, but the Lucky Strike lanes on Abbott was a great place to spend a Sat. Afternoon bowling and drinking pitchers of Genny - again, age 15 or 16.
My buddy, Jack, used to collect just enough on Saturdays on his paper route to have beer money.
At that time you could drink a lot on $3 or so.
I moved out of WNY 18 years ago and was wondering if Ginnys Place on East Ferry was still opened and what it is like today. Whenever I visit WNY, I always try to hit up the older establishments. Sometimes, it might not always be safe though. Sucks.
