Old timers: Where (exactly) was the “Late Night Library“ near FSU in the ‘80’s?

[Dr. Nole]

We used to go there in the early ‘80’s .
It was in an industrial type area...Gaines street area?
thanks
(and what is there now?)

Yup, according to yelp, off of Gaines at 809 Gay St. Looks to be a Chase Bank now. My memory is definitely foggy from my times there, but it appears to be the right area.

Late Night Library - Tallahassee, FL

1 review of LATE NIGHT LIBRARY - CLOSED "RIP Late Night Library.. Miss Thursday nights during the summer session. Small crowds where you would see the same people like a little family circa 1998"

Two different places.

Pre 1990ish it was on Woodward where the IM fields are now. It then moved into a vacant warehouse off of Gaines and Gay.

The original location (early-mid 80s) was at the site of the current IM fields on Woodward. It moved to the Gaines St location sometime in the late 80s.

I remember the Gaines St. location. A very interesting place.

How bout Fred’s?

Fred's was on Tennessee Street about a mile west of the Western edge of campus. At least that is where I remember it being. If you spent time at Fred's your memory is not always so clear.

Yep. 8 ounce white plastic cups. Liquor and ice to within 1/4 inch of the rim, then a spritz of mixer. Good times.

This must be a different Freds. It wasn’t on Tennessee street. Half biker bar, half college kids. Huge pours in tall glasses. Flight-fueler was their signature drink as I recall.

There were two. In the late 70s and early 80s the more popular of the two was on Tennessee Street. Had some trouble and closed that one down, but in that time frame it was far more popular then the other one.

Speaking of being an old timer. Do the kids still do the Tennessee Waltz?
