If we could go back in time for one more drink....The Phyrst? Pink Flamingo? Doc's?
- Thread starter h8uf
- Start date
Went there one night and, low and behold, my old couch was in there.
I did like that the place was large enough to have country music/live bands on one side and booty music on the other, plus indoor and outdoor quiet areas for down time.

My sisters baby daddy used to play at bullwinkles. He was the singer in a band called “radio disturbance”. They played there a lot
I was in Tally from 2001-2006 so here's my list:
1. Late Night Library - did an internship Spring 05 and when I came back to Tally in the summer it was GONE
2. AJ's for Flippin Tuesdays (perfect when you know the bartender you get 9 out of 10 right every time)
3. Yianni's for 80's Saturdays
4. Pub
5. Palace Saloon
6. Potbelly's & Painted Lady
7. Chubby's (after LNL closed down)

I worked at the Tempo for 3 years, 73-75. Jim Miller was a great guy. The men's room wall should've been preserved and placed in the Tallahassee History Museum. The Electric Eye on Wednesday nights, free beer for an hour and lighted dance floor.
Wednesday night at the Palace - bring your large Palace plastic cup for 50 cent drafts
I'd be a Flamingo Café, sitting on the deck with Kim, and watching Slapstick.
Flamingo’s was incredibly underrated. Always a chance a few DG’s would be in there as it was about 100 yards from their house.
I got there in '69 and not long after in 70 they lowered the drinking age from 21 to 18.
Pasqualli's Pizza was one of our hangouts for cheap pitchers of beer.
It's the Dollar General now I think.

Fred's Backdoor lounge. Phyrst would be a distant second.
Who was the other female bartender beside Brenda at Fred’s. I used to go there after waiting tables at killearn. Place was always a zoo......I’m surprised I’m still alive ( probably many of you feel the same way.....)
Remember it well and could tell you some funny stories in reference to them but I would need to get permission.
The Electric Eye.... not that there is anything wrong with that.....
Did you often fancy the feel of being light in your loafers?
This really ends the discussion IMO. Lived in Osceola my Freshman year, stumbled back from Fred's many nights, with the occasional stop at Whataburger.
All I know it was 18 in the fall of '77. Journey and Van Halen came in the spring
of 1978 in Ruuuuuuuby Diamond Auditorium and the fix was in.
Steve Perry and David Lee Roth
Why do I remember David Lee shoving a legit thorny rose stem down his crotch....?
Is this the onset where I became somewhat or fully twisted?
I was just a naiive impressionable purely innocent young lad taking a rare date to a massive brawl with the spraying of mace..... Let's just say that date ended with a misunderstanding.The cold *****. I'm still working through it....
And then there's the Anchor out front. I often wonder if anybody had the stones to get after it late night on the Anchor..... Now, that would be a memory! Sounds very hot and risky. And unfazed by Anheurser's Disease mind you....
Great thread! The Phyrst Spring of 84 when I lived in Landis (all freshmen coed) and turned 18( when drinking age was still 18); then Bullwinkles, Poor Paul’s (in that order of course); Thursday night 4 for 1 at Clydes (ladies night); Flamingo Cafe; the Moon. After graduation, the Mill and Roosters! I’m sure I saw a lot of you there over the years!!
Thursday Night 4-4-1 at Clyde’s in fall of 1985. I’ll have a Long Island Iced Tea in one of those cheap ass red Solo cups, please.
Hoggly Woggly 1988, on the corner of W Tennessee and Ocala.....a huge cup of beer to go... I still can’t believe they did that.
The reason
used to have private time for players in late 77-79 a lot of secrets from those parties 😝
Phyrst- 1st or 2nd time there, drunk both times, a hot blonde blocked my route to the restroom and said, “you’re a fox”. What not to like. Drinking age in ‘80 was 18. Co-eds!!! Ridiculous.
Fred’s Back door- strongest drinks in town. Frat boys, Rednecks, and bikers mixing. Lots of fights.
Big Daddy’s Parkway- dance floor. Beat the clock night Thursdays. School of business didn’t have classes on fridays😁 2 for 1’s other nights.
Brown Derby
Honorable mentions-
Rocky’s- Big Ron bounced there while at FSU. Rumors of a meeting of Big Ron, Jack Youngblood, and Larry Brooks and it wasn’t cordial.
Sugar Mill Tavern- before the Moon opened, place to go in the late 80’s for 2 for 1 drinks and pretty women.

The flight fuelers were the fastest way to grab a buzz.
Glory days, well they'll pass you by
Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
glory days, glory days..

How about Molly Hatchett Fall 78 across from Salley Hall? For free! Free Bird for their encore was incredible.All I know it was 18 in the fall of '77. Journey and Van Halen came in the spring

Red, I was an ATO and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Pike and ATO in the same sentence. When I was there, we were too busy fighting the KA’s to fight the locals. I’d love to hear more of your stories. That being said give me the Phyrst and Fred’s as my favorites.
I talk to both Donna and Barrett from time to time. Donna still works behind the bar in the Varsity club on game days. Barrett is working a 9-5er and hasn’t bartended in a couple years. I spent many a night at Finnegan’s and the Leon Pub.
Did Radio Disturbance morph into Radio Bikini?
Back in the mid 90’s Radio Bikini was the house band at the Cab Stand.
