Watch him on Netflix. I usually dont travel on the eastside of town. Plus his spot is expensive and in downtown LA
I grew up, for the most part, in Sweet Home. Went to high school there. A&W was a happening place, and yeah, they had car hops and even ones that skated. I tried really really hard to get one of the car hops (Brenda) to date me, but the only image I have is of her skating away after telling me to buzz off in the summer, you could swing by the A&W and pick up beverage and food to go (and maybe spike the beverage if you were a bad boy), then drive 10 miles to the Lebanon drive-in. That was a giant party at times...few people watched the movies; there were other things to occupy the time, and hands...yeah, two movies were standard. It's dark...it's a 4 hours of movie distraction....and the hormones and testosterone were running high. Glory days
Go there and every once in awhile. Got in a fight there in my early 20’s with some British guy who was in town at the shipyards on swan island. He spit on me. Honestly never tried their food. Good beer selection though. I don’t think it’s been called Yorgos in years. I lived walking distance to it as a youngster on Curtis and Willamette. Used to walk up to that 7-11 for banana slurpees.
I spent the night once in the Twilight Room. One of the most boring nights of my life but I did hook up with a hot chick. Two softball teams met up there after playing, I was there with a couple of friends. The softball teams get drunk and then get into a fight in the parking lot. With bats. I didn't know anything was happening until the police showed up. About 6 ambulances. Cops locked everyone inside the bar and we had to wait for detectives to come and take statements. Didn't get out of there until about 5am. Took some guy's gf home who got arrested and we had freaky time. So it wasn't a total waste, lol.
sounds like a typical night in the nutty NoPo. my parents played for their softball team for years and are friends with the Penners (the owners). It’s a cool little bar. My girlfriend comes from a huge notoriously nutty family from St Johns. I feel like we go there every couple months for her family get togethers. Or if someone passes away. I used to go there and meet up friends to take a party bus out to Oktoberfest in Mt Angel back in my party days and remember coming back absolutely trashed and taking a taxi home then passing out in bushes in front of my house. Hahaha god I was dumb as an adolescent.
I remember me and my friend having to spend the night on the ground sleeping under his pickup because we were way too drunk to drive from Oktoberfest in Mt Angel.
They closed down. Their burgers were really good, but I got mad food poisoning once and couldn't go back.
Crazy thing is, up until all this lockdown, they would be open like 2 days a month. Random days and times. Didn’t make sense. There would just be a sign out front all of a sudden saying ,”Open today til 4pm”
