Anyone go to power tools back in the day?

I never really did much clubbing in Houston, I lived in Huntsville during my party years. We had a bar called Quarters that had a promotion for awhile where you bought a band for $3 and all your drinks of the liquor of the day were 25¢. We were cheap though and just bought one band and passed it around. 😂 Imagine my shock at the downtown prices the few times I did go. Once we went to a bar across the street from Coco Loco, I don't remember the name. I've also been to Sky Bar and a few more places I can't remember the names of.

I remember getting overloaded at Yucatan liquor stand with chipmunk cheeks at the line for the men's restroom, they let me in quick so I could hurl

ginx :
We would end up at Steak&Ale and the bartender knew us well and would cut us off when he thought we had too much and make us drink coffee. 1960 was dead at 2 am though so not too dangerous. I'd never do it now though.

ladybeachbum good to see you back in the old account . Steak and ale doesn't sound like the place you'd get stabbed at, I like em grimy

I can honestly say I've never been cut off. I can also say I often should have been.

ginx :
It was a pretty good late night place in the bar. I think back in the ages it was open until 2 am!

I used to go dancing at the Cow Palace on Hwy I-45 back in the early 80"s. It was a fun place until it burned down.

Some of the older ones on here may remember Dance Town Usa here in Houston on Airline Dr, I went there a couple of times in the seventies, but I was into the hippie thing back then and it was all country.

Rambo's,Commandos,Willie's Night Life,Ocean Club

Tipping the bartender paid off nicely

In my college years we would go to Shark Dance, Power Tools and #'s. Mid 90's.

I wasn't as much of a clubber but went to Rich's a few times, 2826 for disco night, and briefly The Magic Bus. I worked at the Chuy's that was across from Yucatan so we would go there after work sometimes. Spent most of my time at Richmond Arms, Blue Iguana, Doghouse, Velvet Elvis.

ginx :
ALL of them and loved it!!! 80's and 90's were the best!!

ginx : I went to quite a few of the places you mentioned but I was more comfortable with Charlies, The Barn, Marfreless, Mary's, Rich's, Emo's, Lola's, and Notsuoh. Good memories!

Went to the needle once in Houston but that was along time ago.
