I went wherever the girls were gonna be. Usually the drink specials or ladies night.

Anyone ever heard of The Palms Danceland in Dallas???

Starbuck Lounge in Troy TX 1981-1998

Also when I was stationed at Ft Myer in VA '84-'85 I spent a good amount of time in "Sign of the Whale" in Arlington and "The Fish Market" in Alexandria...drank many a schooner of beer in there.

Hit Studebakers in Arlington when I lived in Irving '88-'91.

They weren't know as cougars then but I did enjoy many a good time will women 10-30 years older than I was....

TurkeyHunters thread got me to thinking about this. What bars do you remember going to when you were single?


Stampede met my wife there 1993 or 1994

Stampede was a great place to hook up with some hotties, very very few fat chicks went there, and the quality was good since it was North Dallas at the time, It was located at Preston/635 and it was great place.

Do you remember they would always have breakfast serving upstairs near closing time? Food was excellent and served like buffet style.

I would usually get there for happy hour and get free admission and they used to have free food if got there before 7pm. I would catch all the ladies going there from work to hang out a few hours before going home to the husband/boyfriends, they were easy pickings.

Then around 9:30 pm the real single ladies would start coming in and Thursday thru Saturday Night the place was happening.

I was there around the same years you were, I even celebrated and had birthday parties there, it was fun place.

Our group use to hang out by the Shuffle board table by the long oval bar when you first walked in. A friend of mine Gary Kirlin that I had known from Elementary school in Oak Cliff was the bartender on that end.
I would get there around 9:00 and leave around 1:00.

Went to the Studebakers twice in N.Dallas,, there were a lot of older gals on the prowl there

Denim . . . . . and . . . . diamonds???

TurkeyHunters thread got me to thinking about this. What bars do you remember going to when you were single?

I started going to bars when I was 16 or 17, stopped when I got married at 39, spent way to many nights and way to much $$ in them every week.

To many to list but a few favorites.

Country & Western went to a whole bunch of them but my favorites were.

Top Rail use to manage Dallas Gentlemen’s club (Topless) across the street, it was a great place to take a break.
Borrowed Money younger crowd but very nice eye candy
Cowboys Gaston Ave took dance lessons there on Sundays.
Stampede met my wife there 1993 or 1994
Good Luck Rodeo. it was Midnight Rodeo when I went there 1980.
Debonair Danceland couple of blocks away from my best friends house in the late 70's
Longhorn Ballroom 1975 or 6, best ballroom brawl I have ever been in or seen.
Gilleys Pasadena early 1980’s when I lived in Houston

Rock & Roll did not hang out there to much, two places that were interesting
Mother Blues way cool place in the 70's with great tunes, I was a little to straight.
Silver Dollar Saloon. Operation Reciprocity.

Disco Ducking.
Travis Street Electric. Co. Always a lot of partying, loving and fighting.

#3 Lift POS Tony Dorsett use to run up $300 + bar bills regularly and never tip. Tony usually went to the back bar where a very cool bartender named Sammy worked, one night Sammy asked him why he never tips, TD cold cocks him
One other very funny notable instance. A pretty good friend who I almost locked horns with at first meet got arrested for being him and kept making sexual request from the arresting female Police Officer, did not work out to well for him

Beggers oh to much crazy fun there
After the Gold Rush I worked there.
Confetti's
Cafe Dallas. SMU Football players get life lessons

And so many more stories

So what about you

We referred to it as Midnight Rope a Ho. The Lilly Pad was across the parking lot where hot tubs rented cheap. A friend told me.

Stub you party animal, I can't beat that.
