The Library was the name of a club in Lincoln RI also - not too far from a number of colleges. "Tell my parents I'm at the Library if they call!!"

And the campus pub at Fairfield University (home of the Stags) was called the Stagger Inn.

On Plum Island there was a little take out place that was called Atty. May's. - owned by a lawyer.

The Paisley Pineapple and Sofa Bar will be on Trade Street between 5th and 6th Streets. It should open by late summer or early fall.

Skinny Legs is a great little place with awesome cheeseburgers. Atmosphere is perfect. You have to be there to appreciate it.

Dick's in San Diego and I think Dallas or Flagstaff. The staff is really rude to you, hence the name.

I always thought Dirty's in Houston was a strange name for a restaurant. They sure do make a great chicken fried steak, though.

Suds n Suds in Corvallis, OR. Half of it is a pizza place with a great bar where you can drink yourself around the world, and the other half is a laundromat. Perfect for college students!
