Fantastic Fritzbe's Flying Food Factory was the first venture by Great American Restaurants after the success of Pico's Pizza in downtown Fairfax. The first Fritzbe's to open was in Annandale in 1976. It is now Silverado. Later locations included Fairfax Circle (now Artie's), Reston which was later sold, and Rockville which was ultimately closed. GAR did not return to Maryland until Coastal Flats opened in Gaithersburg with a 1950's Florida seacoast theme in September 2014.

Great list so far, but no list is complete with out The Irish Times, late last call, Pete Papageorge, the crazies and possibly drunkest barshift in the city. Kelly, Shhroder, Cowboy Bob, Corboy, Looney, Milo, Jimmy Curran, even an occasional girl behind the bar, Casey...I think. And Big AL at the door. The bar crew was as crazy as the bar crowd. The later opening Swerve, a disaster waiting for a place to happen. 3am closing time too.

Oh, yes. The Wax Museum. It was located in Southwest DC. I don't exactly recall the street, though. All the walls were black. There were curtains and the remnants of the wax figures from the club's prior incarnation when it actually was a legitimate wax museum and not a club.

That downstairs bar is still there. It's in the basement of the 1789 restaurant on 36th and Prospect Street, NW. It's called "The Tombs." Has a lot of old posters from, I think, WW-I. Fun place.

Does anybody remember a bar in Georgetown (Wisconsin Avenue) called KIKI's? It featured a Scopitone. For those who don't know what that is, it was a glorified juke box that cost a quarter a play (in the days when juke boxes charged a five or ten cents) but, unlike a jukebox, there was a small screen on top on which you could watch the actual singers. A forerunner of MTV. I only went into KIKI's a couple of times to drink beer. I was just 18 at the time and thought how sophisticated I was sitting in what looked like a kind of quirky grown-up bar drinking with the big folks. Another bar that I used to pass when I'd go to work at the old Main Navy building (it ran from 17th-19th Streets on Constitution Avenue, NW) was something called the Moonlight Bar and Lounge on 18th Street, somewhere around G I believe. This small bar was half way below/above ground. You might ask why anyone would site a bar in that location. Back then, before George Washington University gobbled up over half of the city's West End, there were apartments and houses in that area. The apartments were generally geared for single government employees, many of whom came to DC during WW-II.

Also, let's be honest, that was the gay part of town before Dupont Circle became popular and overshadowed it. All those sailors! Yummo!

Aaaaahhhh, Root Boy. Boogie 'till you puke. I paid him in advance for admission with something other than cash. Which he had an insatiable appetite for.

I believe The Wax Museum wasn't in DC but rather Falls Church, VA.

While I don't remember exactly where I do remember seeing Tina Turner and Edgar Winter two separate times at the Wax Museum.

You mean specifically Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band w/The Rootettes.

I saw him at the Brick House in MD. I bought an album and he signed it. I still have it hanging on my wall. It was Dog Secretes.

We used to go to the anex(spelling?) on half street in sw DC. Things didn't really get started till 11 or 12 and the neighborhood was rough. Tracks was still a straight bar most nights and not too far. All the standard Georgetown bars. Celler door at 35th and M. Louie's rock city was a large painted all black interior cool dive of a placewhen you were 18. We used to go in just to drink and give the local bands shit. Could still drink beer anywhere at 18 in my senior year. Not that it mattered because we would cruse all the small korean run grocery stores and buy beer when we were 15. They didn't get the abc laws at all in the 70s. Uncle Sams at Braddock and 495 edge of Annandale, sunset grill, and I'll count fritzbies cause they would sell beer if you played it cool and ordered some food. We d get kegs for party's at dixie liquor at the end of key bridge in Georgetown. So much time chasing beer. Ridiculous.
