Yes! After trying to jump start neurons that hadn't fired in several decades I'm coming up blank on other drink names. I do remember Andrew's artichoke nibbles and recall earlier in this thread someone writing they thought they had the recipe but I never saw it ....... did I miss it?

I think Andrew's had The Light House. And it seemed Chelsea Street Pub had something like Lava--Volcano...can't remember exactly, had a similar drink on Maui to watch the sunset once. I am also thinking Houlihan's had unusual drink names, too...

Andrews - we all drank those HUGE cans Austrailian beer. Chelsea Street was fun in the malls - you could drink at 16...Colorado Bulldogs were our drinks of choice and we ordered piled high mountain nachos! The Filling Station had those cool booths...Tune Ups were good...I think they were blue & also there was a Long Island Tea drink we ordered!

I remember most of those -- one of our Wildcats in L.A. recently found a Deuback's decal at a garage sale out there.

Where was Rainbow Gardens? Was it a watermelon stand?

It'll Do has been purchased by Jeff Swaney, king of the Dallas hipsters - he recently had a party there, it was an amazing group. Some of the regulars were not too happy.

Rainbow Gardens was a beer joint/dance hall on Peak near Bryan St. Had quite a reputation in its day.
