    Man you named a ton of places I went to and hated. Might as well add Vintage to your list, that's another one down the same alley.

    Black Swan is still alive and kicking, people love that place. I remember the Irish bar, had Goldschläger for the last time ever that night. I'll drink an MD20 again if there was a reason to, but Goldschläger, never again.

    bayou mamas
    rhino room
    the pig (shepard plaza)
    Liquid Lounge
    wild west

    now it's time for list of places that should have closed by now. I can't believe are still open.. that suck and always sucked:

    marquis II (yuck)
    sams boat

    yeah I never said I liked the places. I'm just now realizing how many there were. And am only naming the ones I remember.

    The place that became spotlight karaoke was where I saw first rockets championship. Underage drinking etc. I knew in game 7 second horry got that dunk at beginning of game that we were going to win it all. Just can't remember the name of that place.

    Yeah, Sunday brunch there was insane. Everyone walking around with pitchers of Bellini's and just acting a fool. Total insanity. And then at the end of the night the party would continue at Berryhill on Montrose. It was fun in my early 20's, but no way I could do that these days.

    Related to those days, anyone remember Chrome? It was like the spot where every single douche in Houston would decide to meet at.

    Chrome moved to Upper Kirby and is called Roak now... basically. Something still goes on Sundays at that Berryhill on Montrose and it looks ****ing terrible.

    This just brought back an LSD flashback and a really, really bad hangover along with a walk of shame, many, many times.
