Oh god, the Live Wire. That chalkboard in the bathroom that some nut would invariably put an address on for the afterparty. Total gong show.
I lived near the Shamrock for years so I went there somewhat frequently, but the only interesting situation I saw was after a Stamps game. Some friends had come into town so a group of us went there for some post-game drinks. A couple of us were in the bathroom when some hammered guy came in and started beaking off at one of my friends. "So, you're some kind of tough guy eh?" he kept yelling at my one friend, but my buddy wouldn't really engage him until the guy went to use the urinal. Then he replied "No, I'm not a tough guy..... I'm just tougher than you." and then he proceeded to squish the guy into the urinal. I have no idea how that didn't turn into a big brawl, but the yelling guy just went out that back door and never returned.
I also remember they had those black lights, and if you ordered basically any food there all the grease glowed like toxic waste on the plates. I rarely ate there....
