Cynthia
/ November 6, 2012Phase II…..I believe was on Queens Blvd. First time I was ever allowed to go to a club. My parents allowed me to go because Lisa Lisa was performing her song which had recently come out “I Wonder If I Take You Home”. I know it the club had several different names after that. But it was… Phase II… for a while. (it was 1985 and I was 18 although the drinking age had just been raised to 19 in NY for one year before being rasied to 21).
Andrew
/ June 21, 2018In the summer of 1983, Phase 11 was my favorite club. I was 17 but I had fake ID. Very easy to make with the old school birth certificate. The club had a huge video screen, great music…… Flock of Seagulls, David Bowie, Billy Joel, Billy Idol. Just the best of times.

Francis Powers
/ December 8, 2013While you folks remember clubs and bars from what I, as a sexagenarian, think of as the recent past, does anyone possess any photos of Cold Spring Harbor’s “Joe’s King Neptune” or “The Moorings?” As what was once a functioning shell fishing and motorboat service dock has been replaced by a sterile park named for someone completely unrelated to CSH except for naming an album after the place, it would be good to see photos of H & M Powles, Joe’s and The Moorings. Let’s see if “crowd sourcing” works as well as advertised??

Michelle
/ March 25, 2016Sigh…ooooh for.the good ole days
Frank V.
/ April 15, 2016Community Gardens was great. I used to go there between 1966 and 1970. Met my wife there also. Gerry, a former boxer, was the owner, and I remember his brother Kevin was always “prowling” around. Two great guys. I remember the bouncers and bartenders as being real friendly. I went whenever I could, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays too. Along with The Younger Society (Original lead singer Gerry Milan then replaced by George ?, I also remember The Rubber Band and The Strangers as being local bands that played there regularly there. I used to shoot pool upstairs then go downstairs to The Gardens to dance the night away. When it got too crowded, I’d go up the block to Kelly’s. Although smaller, it was also a great place to hang out and listen to live music.
ruth

RAY Dee
/ May 17, 2018Oh how I miss The Intimate Room!! It was on the LIE west service road. I was a fixture there for quite a few months with a friend of mine. It was depressing though to buy your beer before you went there, bring it in and drop ir at the bar and then buy it back during your time there. Spent ALOT of money there!!
Kim
/ June 22, 2019The intimate room was my moms place. She has past now and so has a great era. It was a place where people had a great time and a lot of great friendships were made. Any great stories would be appreciated. I miss my mom dearly.

Gene B
/ April 24, 2015Anyone remember the Menemsha Bar, on the ground floor of the Allerton Hotel for Women, E.57th St, corner Lexington. It was decorated a la Martha’s Vineyard locale, and periodically a rain squall would descend around the perimeter, with sounds of thunder and seagulls. This was back in the late 1950s. It’s now a Marriott Renaissance Hotel.

Yesterday’s News (Hempstead)
My House (Plainview)… The Hassles w/ Billy Joel
Robert
/ April 30, 2019I remember Ryan’s during the late 50s when I was in college. It was always very crowded and there was a line outside on weekends, especially Friday night. . It was dimly lit and you had to fight to get a drink at the bar. I seem to remember Zolie’s was close by, maybe half a mile to the east of Ryan’s if memory serves me. I loved coming back to NY over the summers and liked the idea that I could drink legally at age 18 vs 21 in PA, not that there was any shortage of alcohol and girls at Penn State in the late 50s and early 60s. What were the approximate street addresses of Ryan’s and Zolie’s?
Dennis
/ September 7, 2015The Purple Cow
Doug

Donna Dean Rozon
/ January 2, 2016Does anyone remember The Tavern on the Lake in lake Ronkonkoma? It was the coolest place to go in the early 60’s. It’s been so long I’m not even sure I spelled Ronkonkoma correctly! I live in upstate NY now, but growing up on Long Island was great. Islip Bowl was a good place to meet guys, too.
DJ Frankie Cee

Kathy Stearn
/ January 3, 2016Anyone remember the Wayside Inn in Glen Head???? My favorite place.
Mike Grab
/ July 15, 2017The Wayside Inn didnt allow sneakers. 4 of us guys went 1 night, but 1 was wearing sneakers, so he went out back to the bathroom window, where we passed a size 12 shoe to him, and he passed his size 10 sneakers inside to us. Once he got in, we switched back with no trouble.
Art
/ January 11, 2016Community Gardens, 215th st, Jamaica Ave, Queens Village NY was the dance bar in the 60’s that all the kids from Queens Village and beyond would go to on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights.. As a former movie theater it was huge!. I remember seeing Frankie Limone and the Teenagers there in the early 60’s. In fact, I saw one of the kids punch out Frankie over an argument!
What a great dance hall I met most of my dates there from 1962-66.One of my best friends (Steve the Fenda Benda) was on of the bouncers. Fights broke out a least once a week; but back then only fist fights. The most popular dance ten was the Slop.
Most of the guys who went there had phoney draft cards. I don’t know hat the girls used to get in. Back then in NY, you could drink legally at 18.
What a great place to meet girls!
Michelle
/ January 31, 2016I remember it well. I don’t think anyone who went there was actually 18, My sister used to go. She met some guy who had just stolen a car, and don’t you know, he got caught by the police taking my sister home. My sister is still not allowed out of the house. LOL Anyway, I do remember it. Community Que was upstairs.

/ May 6, 2016Looking for the name of restaurant in Great Neck, late 70’s early 80’s on the south side of railroad off Middle Neck Road. The headliners were the Mike C(S)erati Trio, Mike played the piano, and the OPA Trio who did Beatles songs. Close you eyes and you would swear they were the real deal. Both were excellent and very entertaining.
Ellie
/ October 19, 2016Hi Randy….That was The Golden Chariot…the piano player was Mike Cerrati. He also played at The Chariot in Forest Hills (my old hangout) Those were the good ol’ days…never to be forgotten !!!

/ October 18, 2019Dear Ellie, my name is Ana, I am an Uruguayan writer and happen to be writing a book about the Uruguayan trio, OPA, that Randy Holmes mentions in his comment. They used to play at Mike Cerati’s Golden Chariot in Queens, from 1969 on. Would you be so nice and get in touch with me and share some of your memories about those times at the Chariot? I would appreciate this greatly. Many thanks in advance. anatipa@gmail.com

/ July 25, 2016Hi everyone. I was just wondering if anyone remembers a place in Island Park that was a rock club. It was called Industry Steel. I remember the last time I was there was in 1988. There seems to be no info on the net about this place. I even went to the area and don’t even recognize where the club once was, everything has changed dramatically over the years. I live in Brooklyn still. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks for any help you can provide!
Jim
/ June 2, 2019There was the Mouse Trap too in island park.
Met my wife there in 69.

I’m in Brooklyn and I seldom go to Island Park but I may make the journey just to jog the nostalgia for a few minutes and reminisce a bit. You have my eternal thanks! I’ll try to keep you posted on my findings. By the way are you in that neighborhood? You seem to know quite a bit!

There’s a Jordan’s Lobster Dock in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn by me, I wonder if it’s the same franchise? Anyhow, I digress… I have yet to make the trip to Industry but now that the weather is warming up I may just wash & wax my show car, take the top off, and take a ride, perhaps even take in a bite at Jordan’s!

/ August 22, 2017How about SEA LEVEL in Merrick – (GET LEVELED At Sea Level was their bumper sticker).

Gorgeous Matt from CHELSEA Street -Savannah – (now Aura) in East Meadow also tended bar there, and BUBBA STILL tends bar both at AURA and Churchills in RVC. Bubba claims to have worked with the bartender at OBI who invented the L.I. Ice tea, when Matheson ordered too much TRIPPLE SEC and offered $100 to anyone who could come up w a drink that would help him reduce inventory.
