Well now I am sure I tripped over you at a bar at some point in the 80s.

Let's see if I have the requisite brain cells to list my haunts....
6 (602), Plaza (quarter taps!), Bear (Black), Crystal Corner. Back in the earlier 80s while in HS, I had a fake ID but I've managed to forget where it took me. Those were the last glorious years of the pre-photo drivers licenses.
Oh man. Quarter taps at the Plaza.
You from Madison? If so, what high school you go to?
Yes, West. You?
Year before you.

Maybe you even hazed him.
We didn't haze, we pranked. Senior prank day was the highlight of the year. Class before mine broke into the school at night and sprayed skunk oil all over the place. Two classes before, a bunch of guys got a pickup, drove it down to the dairy barns on campus and loaded up one of the cows. Took it over to school, put planks on the stairs and walked it up to the third floor. Removed planks and went home. Cows are okish going up stairs but they do not like to walk down.
I was Memorial class of 88.
Paul's Club (start the night off trying to pick up classy women!)
The Pub
The Plaza
Irish Pub (called McKensey's now I think)
Black Bear Lounge/Taco Grande
MadHatters
Whatever the hell was across the street from Madhatters - JOE HARTS!
Regent Street Retreat
Big 10 Pub
Church Key
Stillwaters
Jockos Rocket Ship (closed after federal drug investigation implicated the owner and some fireman and police)
Bar/restaurant under Kennedy Manor Apartments
Varsity Club (home to 1001 Tommy Thompson stories)
Red Shed (still open, get the brick cheese cheeseburger)
State Street Brats (red brats)
Grandaddy Of Them All: Essen Haus (make dinner reservation, eat $10 of appetizers) drink boots for as long as you remain upright)
I am missing a couple. Used to be a bar/restaurant over a fast food joint on north side of State, can't remember name. Italian food I think. Jockos and Big Ten Pub were only two bars downtown (that we knew of) that had two satellite antennas, one for NFC games and one for AFC games. Used to watch Browns at Big 10.
Looking at this list and knowing this isn't all of them, I am thinking Hoosier tripped over me :lol:

The Flamingo!
Pretty sure PB was the guy you picked on.
Was Okayz the club that burned down and they never really replaced? One of the few live music sites in the city?
