Description: Walter Schneider and his partner B.M. Alexander were pioneers West Hollywood, opening their successful bar, The Gallery Room, in 1962, and also ran the hot club of the day, Up Disco. In the late '70s, Schneider and Alexander decided they’d like to live in Venice, and a friend found them a prime location on Abbot Kinney Boulevard to open a new gay bar at the beach. Opening their doors in 1979 under the name Roosterfish, the bar quickly became a gay hot spot on the westside. Roosterfish became a neighborhood favorite, and operated for decades until finally closing up shop in 2016.
Description: The Zombie Hut was a Hawaiian/Polynesian-themed restaurant, nightclub and Tiki bar located on Freeport Blvd. between Florin Road and Sutterville Road in Sacramento, California that originally opened in 1945. Inspired by the 1930s Tiki craze, the night spot's quirky name came from the 1945 comedy, Zombies on Broadway, that featured a fictitious nightclub in New York City called the Zombie Hut. The restaurant drew large crowds for years with Polynesian dancers, Hawaiian singers and musicians, and of course, countless exotic cocktails. The '80s saw things slowing down, and new owners tried saving it with limited hours, a change in theme, and a new menu, but in 1990, Zombie Hut closed its doors for good.
Description: Armadillo World Headquarters (also known as The 'Dillo or Armadillo WHQ) was an influential Texas music hall and beer garden in Austin, Texas. Located in an old National Guard armory tucked behind a skating ring at 525 1⁄2 Barton Springs Road, just south of the Colorado River and downtown Austin, The 'Dillo flourished from 1970 to 1980. The venue officially opened on August 7, 1970, with Shiva's Headband, the Hub City Movers, and Whistler performing, and caught on quickly with Austin's counterculture thanks to the cheap admission and that the hall tolerated illicit drug use. The final concert at the Armadillo took place on December 31, 1980. The sold-out NYE show featured Asleep at the Wheel and Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen.
Description: Popular with both locals and tourists alike, Dreadful's Tavern was a pirate themed bar located in Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Description: The Peter Hand Brewing Company was an American brewery established in 1891 by Prussian immigrant, Peter Hand, in Chicago, Illinois. The brewery continued to grow and though it was officially closed between 1920 and 1933 as a result of prohibition, the company survived and expanded several times. In 1965, an investor group purchased the brewery and renamed the company Meister Brau, intending to further expand and begin national distribution. The company spent heavily on marketing, particularly in their hometown of Chicago, and sponsored all the local sports teams, as well as a popular radio show. When the brewery closed in 1978, it was the last brewing company in Chicago.
Description: For decades, the Buckskin Tavern was Fredonia, Arizona's local watering hole. The nondescript building sat back on a dirt lot, and utilized a worn out '55 Apache step side as an iconic landmark. With a full bar and package liquors to go, it was a place where locals and travelers along US 89A alike could count on a cold drink on a hot day. And being just five minutes from Utah, a lot of folks crossed the border for a 'real' beer or just to get a bottle of liquor to go on Sunday, back when Utah's laws on alcohol were stricter. The tavern featured multiple pool tables as well as the longest bar in the Southwest which, if you asked the bartender nicely, they would give your drink the home run treatment, sliding it the distance to you.
Description: Whether you went to college in New Brunswick, New Jersey, or Tucson, Arizona, odds are you knew Greasy Tony's well. From the original location in Jersey in '68 to the AZ location that opened in '78, Greasy Tony's served up consistent cheese steaks, hoagies, and pizza for decades until founder Tony Giorgianni died in 2008. Both locations were total dives that spoke to the kind of food they served, and that's exactly how people liked it. Whether you were there between classes for a quick bite or bombed out of your mind at 3am and in need of sustenance to stave off alcohol poisoning, Greasy Tony was there for you.

Description: The Dunes Cantina opened its doors in 1936 at 16232 Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, California. It was dive bar that maintained it's wild west roots and was really only known to the few regulars that called it home over the decades, but that all changed after it got a cameo appearance in the 1979 horror movie, Phantasm. Of course, a few minutes of screen time in a cult classic flick doesn't exactly change a place's fate, as it only stuck around a few more years before becoming a sushi joint in 1983.

Unfortunately, the Roadhouse was destroyed in an attack by Azazel’s forces after Ash discovered the truth of the Devil’s Gate and its relation to Sam’s disappearance.In the “Road So Far” map distributed by the official Supernatural Magazine, it shows Harvelle’s Roadhouse as being located in central Nebraska.
Description: The historic beachfront community of Westerly, Rhode Island was first settled by English colonists in 1661 and incorporated as a municipality in 1669, but had to wait until 2017 to get their own pinball bar. For those who don't want to do the math, that's a really long time to wait to flip some flippers. Located at 1 Railroad Avenue, Flip Side featured an array of old school pinball machines, a traditional jukebox full of real live 45s, and over 40 beers to choose from, making it the perfect hang spot for anyone who appreciated the finer things.
Description: If you attended ASU in the 70s, 80s, or 90s, you most likely remember Minder Binder's and spent more than a few nights there knocking back a few stiff drinks and/or pitchers of beer. This eclectic bar got it's start back in the fall of '69 when Al Ehringer and Bob Scura, two pilots who loved drinking and hanging out with friends, decided that they wanted to open a bar. They were determined to create a destination for the local ASU college crowd, original architect Richard Wilken said. The restaurant was named after the main character in one of the owner's favorite book-to-movie, "Catch 22."
Description: Not a whole lot of details on Chucks Diner & Billiards out there, but from what we've been able to uncover, it was a joint that somehow managed to walk the line between dive bar and family restaurant. This Huntsville, Alabama establishment was primarily a diner, serving up classic American diner food, but also had a full bar and pool hall, making it the perfect place to go get loaded with the fam and shoot some stick.
Description: Toner’s Beef & Ale, the last name hanging on the house built in 1926 that stood at the corner of Pennsylvania and Fort Washington avenues in the Upper Dublin Township. The old brick house was built by a chemist who ran a patent drug store on-premises. He later expanded with a soda fountain and gas pumps out front while maintaining living space for his family. By 1933 the original owner had moved his family out, got a liquor license, and reimagined the space as The Brick Tavern. 30-years later John J. Toner bought the tavern for $28,000 and it was reborn as Toner's Beef & Ale, becoming a popular community watering hole for decades to come before ultimately being demolished and replaced with a bank in 2015.
Description: The Toy Tiger of Louisville, Kentucky was home to all kinds of debauchery that involved scantily clad young women in some capacity. Ranging from wet t-shirt and sexy banana eating contests, this joint made no apologies for being sleazy and never pretended to be something it wasn’t and when the stage wasn’t being used to debase women, it played host to an amazing array of national touring bands as well as popular local acts. It’s iconic, animated Las Vegas style marquee stood on Bardstown Road from the time it opened it’s doors in 1973 until last call in 1999 and then it hung around for some time after that as the building sat empty, falling into disrepair and then being razed to make way for a gas station.
