    Yes, and we went there a lot in the 2000s. That location was originally above Birraporetti's. It moved around 10 years ago across the street to the old Laff Stop location, and closed a few years ago.

    Thanks, that's the only one I every went to, 15 or so years ago. They had terrible live music, but also a terrible buffet at times, I do remember that.

    Haven't been there in forever. I guess that's why it's closing. :confused:

    That's where people went before Yelp, Google and online reviews. Before anyone knew any better. Good riddance.

    What was wrong with it? It was a place to meet up and grab a drink.

    A lot of good times there. One of the great things about this place was it had a huge parking lot.

    I guess if you live in the suburbs and listen to the Buzz 24/7 it must seem like Heaven.

    Clear Lake closed over a year ago.

    When I was 21 my buddy got lucky with a 45 year old in the parking lot of Westheimer.

    Good times.

    Wow... brings back memories. That is one of the places where I began my slide. It was easy to get into in high school. It is also the place when I first had casual sex with someone other than a teacher from across the street at St. Agnes. I was 17-18 at Sherlock’s and was with older friends when a 30 year old told me she wanted to be pounded. I did it and it started my slide into drugs, sex and criminal activity. I am lucky to have gotten out of that lifestyle.

    Thanks Sherlock’s!

    Was talking to a friend this afternoon about this. We came to the conclusion only two of our spots are still open Wild West and Firehouse Saloon.
