Defunct Bar Shorts
Description: The Scrap Bar was a short-lived but fondly remembered Midtown Atlanta bar and restaurant that operated during the mid-to-late 1990s. Although it was never one of Atlanta's longest-running clubs, it developed a loyal following and is still occasionally remembered by people who were part of the Atlanta nightlife scene during that era. Oddly enough, the food—especially the pizza—is what many former patrons remember most.
Description: Aunt Charley’s was a legendary neighborhood bar and unofficial headquarters of Atlanta’s Buckhead Village nightlife. Operating for 20 years from 1977 until 1997, the casual tavern famously sat at the apex of the Peachtree-Roswell Road split and was owned by the late restaurateur Warren Bruno. Old-school regulars across platforms like Facebook remember the Buckhead staple as a go-to spot for darts, cheap beers, and an iconic hangout right in the heart of Atlanta's historic party scene. While the exact location is long gone, its legacy lives on through nostalgic Atlanta Magazine coverage of the city's nightlife evolution.
Description: The Golden Era: It was a legendary student hotspot throughout the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. It is fondly remembered for an era when KU sorority women under strict housing curfews would lower hat boxes out of second-story windows on ropes so delivery drivers could send up fresh pizzas.

Description: Mother Fletchers was a popular and legendary nightclub in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that was known for its energetic atmosphere and "wild nights" throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The club closed around 2004 or 2005, partly due to financial difficulties and the city's shift to a more family-friendly image, but remains a fondly remembered part of Myrtle Beach's nightlife history.

Description: Ma Bell’s opened in March 1972 at 218 West 45th Street in the heart of New York’s theater district, directly facing Shubert Alley. The restaurant was a bold concept created by legendary advertising executive and designer George Lois for Restaurant Associates. Lois envisioned the space around a telephone theme that playfully referenced the Bell System’s “Ma Bell” nickname, turning what could have been a simple gimmick into a fully realized dining experience that blended novelty with genuine utility for the pre cell phone era.
Description: In its heyday, Pierce’s 1894 Restaurant drew customers not from New York’s Finger Lakes wine country but also the Watkins Glen racetrack. It began in 1892 when Crawford Pierce won the Elmira property in a lottery, which cost him $200. He opened a hat factory. Soon after, the Double Decker Cigar Factory opened upstairs. By 1894 there was a lunchroom in operation. Guest rooms were added. A bowling alley went in. But it was the restaurant that soon came to dominate. At a dinner there in 1984, what was then the world’s most expensive bottle of wine – an 1806 vintage valued at $28,000 – was shared among 22 guests. Sadly, the business closed in 2008 and the many antiques inside were auctioned off.
