Rum Runners has been gone for at least twenty years, probably more. I was a regular at BK's.
oh then he bartended at Rum Runners in the 70's and eighty's. My uncle Bartended at the BK sweeny's in Bethpage.R.I.P Uncle Freddy. He was an excellent bartender. Last time he bartended there was in 2002 I believe.
Trying to remember the name of a club in Westbury, Long Island in the early 80's off of Post Ave. It looked like a big house inside, had several floors.

Was it right off of Old Country Road? Did it host a Parents Without Partners night?

Now the theater is gone and it's a Family Dollar store and the club is now a small strip mall. I know back in the day it was a hoping bar/club with rock bands playing there on the weekends.
If anyone knows, please post. I have been going crazy trying to remember!!
What about the former ACTION HOUSE (later called the ROCKPILE) in Island Park, NY?
This thread is titled "Rock Clubs of the 80's", so this may well be before the time of many or most people here . . . but the real action in the Long Island music scene of the late 1960s - early 1970s was the ACTION HOUSE (formally known as "Phil Basille's Action House" but later called the "ROCKPILE") located at 50 Austin Boulevard, Island Park, New York. It likely closed in 1971 or 1972 (if not a bit earlier?). But it wasn't simply a place for local bands and unknowns; it was a place where major acts would most often appear (e.g., Vanilla Fudge, the Young Rascals/the Rascals, the Vagrants, Jeff Beck Group, Rod Stewart, Wilson Pickett, the Illusion, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, the Velvet Underground, the Blues Project, Moby Grape, the Doors, Country Joe and the Fish, Cream, Procol Harum, the Yardbirds, Rhinoceros, Sly and the Family Stone, the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac, the Faces, Alice Cooper, the Grateful Dead with New Riders of the Purple Sage, Mott the Hoople, and so manymanymany other well-known and lesser known bands & performers).
This may well be before the time of many of you (unless you are part of the Baby Boom or post-Baby Boom generation).
