I think the ROXZ shutdown in the spring of 87' or right thereabout. Didn't it become a Chelsea Street Pub at one time or am I confused? It was two incarnations after it was the ROXZ, one was short.

What is even more amazing is Freddie! Freddie the last time I visited A&M still worked at the Dixie Chicken. I worked with him in 1986.

wasn't there a place on Harvey that had volleyball courts? i think they had a bladderbuster. would have been in late '80s or early '90s?

Yes. By the taco bell. Owner opened Bullwinkles after it shut down. Closed in early 90s.

I still miss Cow Hop almost 30 years on...

You are thinking of Sneakers on Harvey near Texas Ave. Besides the sand volleyball court, it was also famous for its "bladder buster" happy hour on Thursday nights. They would cordon off the bathrooms and wristband everyone who would pay, and everyone would drink unlimited well drinks, beer, & wine until someone had to use the bathroom. Usually a girl.

Oh how I feel bad for that poor potted plant.

sparkeys, Zachariah's greenhouse. Studio 2818, lake view club. Sports club. Electric cowboy. Dancehall( mickeys?) next to Texas world speedway. Cell block 5

Freshman year. The Parthenon. Stumbled drunk into the restroom only to see two guys snorting coke.

My direct introduction seeing hard drugs in the real world.

Man-o-man......a Cowpie and fries was heaven on a plate! Washed down by a LoneStar!

1988,

I flipped burgers at the cow hop...

Youngbloods: Chicken Fried Steak

I didn't go back and read this whole thread but how about when the Chicken was just the one side?!

Cow pie w/ mushrooms, fries, and Dr. Pepper. Dang, I sure miss that staple of life sustaining protein through the lean years!
Ol' Ag of '86

And don't forget bladder bust at Sneakers. I almost won once.

Franklins on fm 60 , a little before 2818 going west ; now)

best chicken fried steak i had was at longhorn tavern.

crooked path was awesome..the staff hated the boss (probably why they closed) and we would drink on our tips alone...me and the future wife would get blasted on about 20 bucks a night watching live music....and we drank alot.

Carneys was a place that never got mentioned cuz it was a frat hangout, but for a while it was the only place that had good beer on tap....ive got good memories there...even dunked my ring there....the only place in town that had lone star on tap when i was in school(chicken only had lone star light..now they dont have ****)....i needed to dunk the ring in lonestar or pearl, and it got done.

Carney's was the first multi tap bar in BCS for sure

Zephyr Club. Archie's burgers

Fajita Rita's

Double Mutant at Cowhop. Flaming Dr. Pepper mishap at Dry Bean are two of my favorite memories from Northgate.

Anybody remember a place called "Havey Washbangers" where you could do your laundry and get a pitcher of beer and some grub? I had a couple of buddies damn near have to go to the ER trying to do their death wing challenge!

3C BBq had my favorite CFS. La Taqueria, Ken Martin Steakhouse group. But yes, looking at the ground under the Cow Hop floorboards was awesome.

Franklin's, Nezzie's, Eastgate Lounge, Coach Norton's Pancake House

Dead Solid Perfect
Mothers

A&M (GM) Steakhouse

1965
Only places in CS were Coach Nortn's Pancake House, LuAnn's at NG, & A&W Root Beer, & maybe the Dairy Queen on Texas near Welburn Rd. Right next to A&W (inside Bryan city limits) was Tom's. Better in Bryan were Youngblood's on S College, Chicken Shack on Texas, & Werhman's on 28th in Bryan. In 1966 after getting our fish "balls" back, we'd get a Wednesday night CQ church pass & head in one of our three fish cars for 18 fish to Wehrman's to gorge on the $1.25 CFS & pie. That worked great until the Zips caught us!
~1967 Ralph's Pizza showed at East Gate

1968 (legal drinking age)
East Gate Lounge (& pool tables)
South Gate Lounge (careful not to get into fights with football jocks)

Now that's Old Army before University was paved E of Texas and there was still a circle (round about) at S College & University.

For more adventure it was Wiskey Bridge & Uncle Ed's!

And all that barracks-style housing for married students that was affectionately called "Sperm Village."

Cowhop and Tom's Barbeque are still two of my all time favorites!

Arnold's at East Gate

Charlie's next to the CowHop. BlueBell pints for 79 cents and often on sale for 59! (1982)

Stumbling across campus to Rumours for some late night pancakes

Has anyone brought up the Thirsty Turtle?
