Aardvark is closing

[NYC Horned Frog]

Well, I think this was the last of the dingy spots I knew from my college days (Pub not included) and it's gone. Yes, it was not a nice bar and didn't have much to offer but I have some very fond, very gross, and very hazy memories of this place freshman year forward.

RIP

Man I'm old as that was a reincarnation of another bar

Can anyone under the age of 40 name that old bar and famous movie that was filmed there in the 1990's?

RIP indeed. Spent many hours there during my time.

And it was the 80's. Did my best Tony Montana impersonation on top of the cigarette machine in the bathroom. Many times.

Pretty sure Born was filmed all in Dallas. Was it another movie?

 

[NORMLFROG]

Sorry YA. Didn't read first part of post. 49.

Born on the 4th of July was the movie--it was the scene in which Tom Cruise was playing pool and got into a fight with a Marine who fought at Iwo Jima and then danced with the young lady

The scenes of protest where filmed at Dallas Hall on the smu campus

Extra points if you know what "Hop" stood for.

The Pub is a dive ... Halo, which has already closed for some time, was a pit. Not sure what to call Aardvark except that it was großer and worse than those in every way

Milo's has memorabilia on the walls claiming it was there. I know because I wore that bar out in the late 90's.

Some real old school bad ass foosball players in that place.

No but I had a Franzwa psych class or two there...I was more a Hi Hat / Pub kinda guy. Great day when the Hi Hat decided to offer $4 Shiner pitchers, then the Pub matched the price within a week. Think that was my senior year.
