Vintage California 5 Star Restaurant

It was at the end of 1957 when Seattle finally got its own dedicated jazz club when Pete's Poop Deck opened their doors. Having taken up residence in a former tavern in Pioneer Square on what was then known as Skid Road – named for the greased logs that were laid to shoot timber off First Hill to Seattle’s waterfront mills – Pete's Poop Deck was the place to be for enthusiasts of modern jazz. This low-fi establishment with its dim lighting and apple crate seating quickly grew in popularity and was THE place to take in some jazz music. From local musicians to national touring acts, Pete's Poop Deck was open nightly and promised "carefully calculated confusion," something they delivered on throughout the '60s.

The Saddle Rack originally opened on August 13, 1976 as San Jose's only authentic country roadhouse. The Rack, as locals called it, quickly became known for country music, strong drinks, line-dancing, and Tex-Mex cuisine, which turned out to be a winning combination. This quirky joint's Southern-style hospitality was what kept locals coming back, but once they began booking live music, it became a premier country music nightspot that pulled people in from all over the Bay Area and beyond. Sitting on six and a half prime acres, the owner received an offer he couldn't refuse, and sold the property, leading to its closure in 2001. The Rack would return in 2003, reopening in an 18,000-square-foot former hot tub store in Fremont.

Bonaire is a Dutch island in the Leeward Antilles in the Caribbean Sea about 50 miles off the coast of Venezuela that is best known for amazing snorkeling and scuba diving among the island's fringing reefs. When a trio of resident divers decided to open a bar in the island's capital of Kralendijk in the late '90s, they opted for a real 'dive bar' and created a diving themed venue. Naming it De Octopusreep (The Octopus Bar) after the many octopus found in the waters around Bonaire, the bar's waterfront location and unique theme became a popular place to grab a beer after a day exploring the Bonaire National Marine Park.

Daddy-O was a great West Village beatnik dive bar known for serving regional food from western New York and for being a favorite hangout spot for local chefs. A whiskey lover's paradise, and also the only local place to get a Rochester style 'garbage plate.' Closed but not forgotten! Great gift for West Villagers and Whiskey lovers. Great nostalgic gift for New Yorkers.

Fort Lauderdale's The Button was owned by Gregg Newell, known locally simply as “Crazy Greg,” was there every night sporting his signature Hawaiian shirt and kookie propeller hat since its opening in 1970. Attached to a cheap hotel, this legendary spring break party spot was so wild, it was actually more than the city could handle at times. The Button hosted wet t-shirt, French kissing, and bikini contests, many of which resulted in fines and charges of promoting “lewd and lascivious” activity by the state as usually pushed the boundaries of both common decency and the law. The bar also routinely ran afoul of occupancy limits, a side effect of its extreme popularity. The Button closed in 1987 after mounting issues with the city.

Taxi driver George Touhouliotis bought Marlena's Tavern in 1983, and proceeded to reshape the joint into a nightclub. He opened his new place, calling it Satyricon after the 1969 Federico Fellini film of the same name. Despite sitting on what was essentially Portland's skid row, Satyricon became a prominent music venue that hosted countless local and touring acts throughout the '80s and '90s. From punk and alt-rock, to hardcore and even some metal, Satyricon played host to them all between 1983 and 2010. It was the longest-running punk venue in the western United States, and has been referred to by journalists and historians as the "CBGB of the West Coast."

Without question, Re-bar was one of the Seattle's most historic nightclubs, hosting countless local and touring bands over its three decade run. Born into the grunge scene in 1990, the building it called home at the foot of Capitol Hill was built in 1930, and certainly playing into the venue's quirky charm. When it wasn't hosting live music, this anchor of the alternative arts scene presented work from local artists, theatre and comedy, and held rocking dance nights. Re-bar was routinely filled to the brim with hipsters, freaks, geeks, artists, gays, intellectuals, punks, rockers, ravers, and clubbers – a true showcase of the eclectic diversity of Seattle. The fact that they made some mean cocktails was just the icing on the cake.

Inn-Square Men's Bar in Cambridge, Massachusetts originally started as a men’s only bar (yes, that was a thing) back in 1964. It was as a favorite watering hole for local public works employees, who practically kept the place in business on their own. In the '70s, the bar was sold, and while it was still called the Inn-Square Men's Bar, they added a little 'ladies invited' under the name, and it soon evolved into one of the most well-loved music venues in town. The Inn-Square was a small, warm neighborhood bar with great taste in music, featuring both local and national bands that might otherwise not get to play. Despite the bar's second act being a huge success, the Inn's liquor license wasn't renewed in 1984, bringing an end to the bar.

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.

Located in the heart of Dallas. Texas' Deep Ellum neighborhood, Drugstore Cowboy wore several hats and wore them all pretty darn well. Part coffee shop and part cocktail bar, they also played host to art shows and intimate concerts, all from within their low-fi digs.

The Old Waldorf was a live music venue located in San Francisco at 444 Battery St. on the second floor of a building in the Embarcadero Center. The famous club was built out of what was originally a Foster's Cafeteria restaurant, opening its doors in 1976. Despite the brick and glass venue's terrible acoustics, during its time, The Old Waldorf hosted some of the biggest names in the music industry across a wide variety of musical genres. Despite the venue's full event calendar and solid ticket sales, the owner's closed down The Old Waldorf in 1983 and reopened it as The Punch Line comedy club which still occupies the space today. This one is based on the first of only two shirt designs the club ever released which came out sometime in 1978.

Vintage Scary Pale Ale

P.J.’s Hollywood was a Parisian style go go club owned by Bill Doherty, Paul Raffles, Phil Tanzini, and Elmer Valentine, friends and associates from Chicago. They opened P.J.’s in 1961, taking the name from the initials of Paul and his girlfriend, Judy, who had previously run a successful club in Chicago called The Black Orchid. The goal was to create a late night destination that became the place to be when all the other nightclubs called it a night. The clientele was a mixture of celebrities, swingers, and criminals, but once they crossed under the backlit “les Poupées de Paris” (the dolls of Paris) sign, these night owls all had one thing in common – they were looking for a good time.
