Rough bar. I recall the bartender not having teeth and talking about how her brother had just gotten out of prison.

Sue's # 2 on LaSalle. Used to shoot pool with Sue (who looked like an older Elvira) and Pam (the waitress) during the day. 1987-90 for me. When I first started going there it was 75 cent drafts then it went to a $1 and I had to stop tipping. Always went when Classie Ballou played. It could be a rough crowd, but since we went quite a bit at mid-day and got to know the staff, we never had a problem. Good times!
Does this mean sues #2 is dead? RIP. I never did find Sues #1.
Sue's #2 got a shout out in one of Derek Haas' fiction books. It was the name of a roadside cafe.
There was a murder there the first week of my freshman year.
Back when I was in college (early 70s), we went to a bar over by General Tire call Matties. Had a real shuffle board. Hand shuffle board. Ahh....the good times.
I may still have my yellow Classy Ballou t-shirt. Sues No.2 was a great bar. Sadly, yes it is gone.
Were any of you there during the short time Cajun Daddy.s was open? It was on University Parks near Loop 340. Good times but they committed about every violation a bar can. The building is now a daycare.
The best place to go if you were just mentally 21, not physically, was El Taco Loco.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Used to go to Sue 2 often. Friends with band Riff Raff. Finished many evenings there.
Sue 1 was down on 18th street on other side of town I think. Near the Brass Rail. Didnt go there but once

Yep, entirely different crowd. I remember Sue's when she was just a gravel parking lot.Limited IQ Redneck in PU said:

Classy Ballou and the All Nite Band. Classy was "The All Nite Man" lol. Hadn't thought about that in years. The summer of '91 everyone would leave in a caravan from George's at midnight when it closed and drive to Sue's #2. Great memories. Thanks for the Classy mention!BaylorTaxman said:

IIRC from Baylorfans there was another establishment on LaSalle not too far from there that you were quite the fan of, lolLimited IQ Redneck in PU said:

Roommate my Jr yr was a Sig Ep. Honestly, I don't remember him going. Mostly played pool w/ a couple of guys named Frank and Ford. I think they were ATO..? It was a long time ago.

Haven't heard that place in a while. When I went back in the 90's lots of bikers.
Yes. I used to help my brother with his yard service while I was in town in the summer. We would work a few hours then go into Showtime for a two hour 4 beer air conditioned lunch. Good times. I can still remember some of the girls.CammoTX said:IIRC from Baylorfans there was another establishment on LaSalle not too far from there that you were quite the fan of, lolLimited IQ Redneck in PU said:

I went back two or three years ago and met the daughter of one of my Midway classmates and another that was the daughter of my fav. dancer Sabbath, I could tell stories all day but not appropiate for here.
I have found theres only two ways to go:
Living fast or dying slow.
I dont want to live forever.
But I will live while I'm here.

Can confirm that 87-00 SigEps would slum it up at Sue's #2 fairly frequently, as I am one.bularry said:dougl999 said:

Mr. Treehorn treats objects like women, man.
I remember being there one night drinking 50cent drafts and getting pulled into the dance line that the old folks were doing to " heard it thru the grapevine ' while in college during mid 80's. Always a good time at Sue's #2
