Was Barry T's and Goose Loonies popular around the early to mid 80s? Heard about those two a lot on the radio. Just can't remember the time period.

I miss "pre-insurance fire" Black Dog, Filthy McNasty's and New City. Thinking I'll be alone on those ones.
I turned 18 and went to Rebar at 12:01am. Had a blast many nights there across my time at the U of A.Rebar was the first night club I hit up circa 95 it was the first time I saw black lights and it was a crazy dance floor walking in, place was packed.
I had my fake I.D , my name was Sam McGee....
Older Bars? Then mentions places like H2O. 90's bars, Rough bars?!
You younger guppies ain't seen nothing.
Try oldtime places like the Klondiker, Saxony, Commercial, Cromdale, Yellowhead, Highway Motor Inn, Forum Inn, Ambassador, Corona, Vega on for size.
Whyte Ave as well used to be a different place as well before the 80's hit. It was far greasier and lots of Al Bundy type bars. nod. wink.
And don't forget the Beverly Crest, Covention Inn South, Capilano, Londonderry, Rosslyn and the St. Albert Inn.
isn't people's pub the same bar as Ike & iggys, just different eras?
Mentioned in the first post.Three pages and no mention of the Purple Onion?

I remember going to the Convention Inn South to see live acts. Saw some 80's bands like Rough Trade and Jack Greene down there.
Always enjoyed these smaller more intimate venues for live music.
There was a great spot downtown (around 109th st) as well but I cant remember the name of it.
can somebody tell me where Goose loonies was located? was it a club? pub?
way before my time
thanksGoose Loonie became the Thunderdome became the Tonic became the (I forget) and is now Union Hall. It's Argyll Hotel on Argyll Road/99 Street. There's also an ice rink known simply as Argyll there if you ever played men's hockey.
I participated in the Thunderdome era mostly.
Wasn't in Inferno as well? Glad it's settled on Union Hall, lots of concerts like you said.thanks
I remember when it became Tonic..went there several times
decent concert venue now that's its the Union Hall
yup Inferno haha...its coming back to me nowWasn't in Inferno as well? Glad it's settled on Union Hall, lots of concerts like you said.
Another one was Roxy's. The girls just loved it.
For how many times we went I sure as hell don't remember where it was other than north side of whyte ave upstairs
Wild West was another one that as a younger man you were going be violated if you walked in
Are you sure you aren't me.Oh yeah, I think that is the one that was on 103rd Street just north of the Strat but still South of the Farmer's Market. Small place but the girls we hung out with just loved that place. Personally, I didn't understand it, but I was usually too drunk to care by the time we went there.
I think that was the first place I was ever charged for water when I was DD. It enraged me and I never wanted to go back, but the girls ruled there. So I just wouldn't be DD if we were going there.

I was 16 the first time I went to wild west. Needless to say twice my age would've been fine. I ended up with a lot older than that.Three was a cougar bar in the Mayfield Inn. If you were under the age of 30 you were guaranteed to get raped by a woman double your age.

I participated in the Thunderdome era mostly and at that time it was a large two storey club venue with stage for occasional mid-sized acts. I think Goose Loonies was similar but less concerts, but I really don't know.
Union Hall is similar still but seems focussed on the concert portion rather than the night club portion.
