Stooges

At the corner of 9th & P Streets, back in the BIG HAIR 80s, was a lively pub and eatery called Stooges (the name was not a reference to the employees or the patrons). It billed itself as "Lincoln's Night-Life Leader", and students flocked there for the 95¢ pitchers of Coors (who wouldn't!) and the crazy, zany costume parties that were often hosted there. There was also a huge dance floor and Thursday night "4-fers". And if you were lucky enough to be there on Halloween in 1985, you couldn't taken home the grand prize giveaway: a king-size waterbed. Yep. The good old days!
