Malibu officially closes Sept. 7. I live near VJ and Callaghan, drive past those closed businesses each day. Surprisingly, the movie theater is still there and functional.

I hate to hear that. I had two birthday parties at Malibu when I was a kid.

And I haven't thought about Maggie's in a long time. My high school girlfriend and I used to regularly hook up in the bathroom on the second floor. Sorry, that probably TMI.

Rule 1

I loved Heyoka!

Ike and Tina Turner appeared at Municipal Auditorium in San Antonio around the Fall of 1979.
I saw Ike and Tina at a packed and overflowing Reeds Red Derby. It was a blast and very memorable.

I went to Churchill. Hung out at Maggie's, Mama's, Hofbrau, Alamo Cafe. I remember when Chilis hit the area about 1981 in the same area. I worked at the Magic Time Machine during high school and during the couple of summers when my parents still lived there until they moved to the east coast. I remember we used to go to the original Taco Cabana after work sometimes and the line would be out the door down the sidewalk.

Good times.

I would play Missile Command at Reed's Red Derby all night for a quarter. I used to bet suckers that I could roll the scoreboard over. Made a lot of drinkin' money.

It was great reading through this thread. A walk down Memory Lane for sure. Lotta places I've been on this list. Cooters, Hoffbrau (Eggs Hofbrau were the teats), Fitzwillys, Alamo Cafe.

I'd like to add Hipp's Bubble Room and Little Hipps to the list. Man I miss those shypoke eggs.

Mama's was further out on San Pedro. They had the best deepfried mushrooms with a sauce that was excellent.
I remeber Reed's. Spent many hours there, it was fun with good food. Cute bartenders. We were Wisconson girls who migrated to San Antonio and had so much fun. We were probably entertaining too as Wisconsin girls were a bit crazier than Texas Girls. Had many hours of Fun at Reeds.

I remember that time. Reed's was a culture of its own. Dated a bartender from there. There were a lot of drugs, but it was a great place. There were 3 of us who frequented it often. At that time Reed's was the place to be. We were wild Wisconsin girls. Would walk in and they would shout, The Cheese Ladies are here. So very much fun

Another spectacular bump

Like the bar at Maggie's

HS 77 - 81. We were becoming of age when the Legal Age Drinking Laws were changing... Legally able to drink, then Illegal, then Legal.

As I recall, Maggies had the best Long Island Ice Teas.

Also, did Maggies have the Minature Train above the bar. Or was that Mama's?

I was 79-83, as far as drinking age back then, i found it really did not matter for the most part. If one was to get an MIP, it was like a $30 fine. No big deal.

Yes, they did have the train. In my experience, all their drinks were great. I had happy hours there many times for an hour or two with my office staff after work.. They had great appetizers so we could always serve food to minimize our alcohol exposure. It was a great place for all kinds of folks to eat/drink. Not many places like it anymore.

Very rare when a bar/restaurant makes it over the long haul. Tatses change, people change, neighborhoods change, and it's hard to stay relevant over the years with all those changes.

Are you not thinking of Hipp's Bubble Room on McCullough? I know they had a train and year 'round Chistmas lights.

Is Best Products still there?
