    Yes, they did that when I lived in Dallas. I went there a couple of times after I moved back to OKC but it just wasn't the same. I never did go to the Bricktown Joker's. I went to Faces quite a bit when it was in that location, knew quite a few people who worked there.

    See there, my CRS was in remission today. I couldn't remember the big beer bar on SW 74 until I saw After The Goldrush on one of these threads.

    I spent waaay to much time in After The Gold Rush in those days. And I must say all the "happening" places at the time.

    The Red Dog was first a bar. It became a cafe a few years back, maybe 20. I
    wouldn't eat there for anything.

    Back in the 70's it had local rock bands. There was a law in OKC that said
    you couldn't have a dance floor unless there were rooms for rent, or
    something like that. At any rate, the Red Dog and other bars had a room(s)
    in the back, like a storage room, that had a mattress on the floor, a chair and
    an end table. The bands would hang out there during breaks.

    I loved the Aztec Gold. Nice relaxing place. How about the Montana Mining Co. on Shields? Charlie Brown's on 29th and Western....

    The Red Dog was never known for being a civil establishment. It's still a
    mess.

    Saw one of the dancers a loooong time ago who was waaay high, to pass out and do a swan dive off the dance stage into some pl' boys pitcher of beer on the bar below. Another time saw one of the dancers hustling tables for tips with with a beer pitcher between her chest appendages. Yep, its always been a mess. Hey, the Rose Glo on 29th still has its old sign up. Hotel and dancing. Yeah right, hotel
    BTW remember the petition drive to save the Red Dog?

    The Rose Glo still has rooms for rent upstairs over the club. Have wondered how that place has stayed open mainly because of its location. I think it is the only bar/club on 29th that has not turned into a Latino joint......
