Kage: Surviving The Local Bar Scene

Kage Mann: (The downtown Coeur d’Alene clubs) were almost all white when I was in the bar scene back in the 80’s and early 90’s. Back in the 80’s the kids would come from Wash.over to the bars in the CDA area, because the drinking age in Idaho was 19, so they could come over and drink legally. I used to hangout at Peabody’s, Cotton Club, Chiller’s, Atrium; those bars that played some great rock music. I don’t recall very many fights among the locals and the out of town crowd and if there was a fight, the locals would quickly gain the upper hand anyway. Sometimes I miss the ole days, but then I’m reminded of the foibles of my youth and am glad that I survived the madness back then. The tales I could tell. ;-)

Question: Which local watering hole was/is your favorite? Why?
