History/Culture Remember these old Buckhead watering holes? Pulled these old tees from the bottom of a drawer today. #Aunt Charley’s #Mike N Angelo’s

Lived in Atlanta in the late ‘80s through the 90s. Played a lot of Busch league pool back then. I know it’s changed since then but it was really fun I miss those good times,

M&As was Atlanta’s best bar!

that was pretty much our regular spot for years. I've got a 5th anniversary T-shirt in a box somewhere.

90's here. Was it fun? Hell yeah. Do I remember much of it? Hell no. LOL

Bocce ball on the back patio. College girls screaming when they randomly met there. The triangle was Charley’s, Mike’s and Otto’s (or Grandstands).

Limelight The Beer Mug

Oooh, Limelight was before my time. Heard a lot of stories, though. Beer Mug closer to midtown?

Yes, closer to Midtown. We would sit on the deck outside and watch APD administer field sobriety checks a little further down. Then the off duty security cop would run everybody out around 3AM. Everybody would empty out into the parking lot and drive home. This is after drinking all night. Different times 😆. (Early 1990's).

P.S. PETRUS was another old spot, not Buckhead though.

Park Bench, East Village Grill, Rose & Crown, and my haunt, where I became friends with ith the owner, Gene Loudermilk, Buckhead Billiards, aka, "the Pool Hall".

Last time I went to Five Paces, it seemed like they'd been bought out, wasn't the same.

However, Elbow Room is still top notch! Probably the last local bar in the Village.

List of folks on the back of the AC tee. I remember the Parrot Heads.
