Had some epic brawls there. One night my date and I barely made it outside to safety when a major squirmish broke out and the participants literally ripped the plumbing out of the restroom walls and began beating each other with it.

I remember driving by it on the way home from another club late one Saturday night and counted eleven cop cars all lit up and flashing, parked at odd angles all around the place and a mob of people hanging around outside while the cops inside tried to get things back under control.

It wasn't zackly sophisticated, but THAT was a great bar!

Sounds like my kind of place.!
