I worked in many night clubs where they used to hang out in South Florida back in the "golden years".

Any of you ever vacationed in So Fl in the 1970's. Well there where a ton of clubs, real wise guys and more than anything "wannabee" wise guys.

Anybody remember the "Top Of The Home", The Grand Saloon" or "Hemmingways in Hollywood? or "Bootsies", "Villa Perrone" or "DiAnnos", "Pier 12" or their favorite place of all in that area ....the "Tack Room" at the old Diplomat Hotel on Hollywood Beach.

A few mile south of there was North Niami Beach. Too many places to name but a real popular spot was the "Bird Room" in the old Marco Polo hotel, and we can't forget the "Pieces Of Eight" lounge in the Castaways to name just a few.

In Miami Beach proper was the "Bonfire", Place for Steak" and Dean Martin's place the "Club Top Draw".

What kind to music did they like to hear???? Just what you would expect, lots of Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and Jimmy Rosselli, some Tom Jones but almost never any rock and roll of that period. No Skynard, No Doobie bros, No Bay City Rollers. Just the old classics.
