I'm trying to compile a list of Calgary nightclubs/bars from the 80's and 90's that are no longer open, and I'm forgetting a lot of them that were on electric avenue and near the U of C. I've got Coconut Joe's (now a daycare, hah), King's Head, Fox and Firkin, La Jolla's, but not much else.

If you can think of some names of bars that are no longer open, please post them here!

Thinking about it, I can't believe they let Electric Avenue go on for so long. What a circus.

This is better. PhD on 'roids. Its to "honour" an old friend with a song, and he frequented some seedy places back in the day.

Lol I couldn't remember the name of that cheezy place near the end of electric avenue with the solarium thing, but now I have it!

(Thanks for the responses so far, keep it coming!)
