Bottom floor and apartments on top.How can they reopen in the same location 18 months from now if they are shutting down to make way for an apt complex?
ahh. I see. I had some good memories in that place. Sad to hear it go.Bottom floor and apartments on top.
This place arrived after I was long gone. Still always sad to see old haunts disappear. Think all the places I frequented back in the 80’s have been gone for quite some time. Here’s a list of them off the top of my head
- The Porpoise
- CJ’s
- Lilian’s
- Dubs
- The Park
- Joe’s Deli
- Happy Hour Pool Hall
- Leonardo’s
- Burritto Brothers
- Skeeters
I’m sure there are many others that I just don’t remember anymore.
The only constant in life is change.

They certainly haven’t cleaned the bathrooms.
Well I think they cleaned one toilet after I puked all over the side of it one night but I cant say for sure.
Question for all you who still hang out occasionally in Gainesville: Whenever I had to wait on my son for something, I found The Swamp a convenient bar to wait in. Food wasn’t bad and they had a decent beer selection. Most of all, though, the location was ideal. So, where should my new go to spot be? (I expect to be having a weekend in September where I need to get away from the house and hanging with my son for a weekend is looking like a good alternative.)
Thanks. I’ll try them both.Well Salty Dog is still hanging tough. If you prefer something a bit more upscale looking The Social (where purple porpoise used to be) is actually a decent place. Plenty of room...good food ....especially the wings....and a shyt ton of TV’s. On a nice day the upper open deck can be fun.
But really....just belly up to the bar at Salty Dog.....turn up the juke box....and imagine you are in heaven. Can’t go wrong. I spent many days and many nights in there with my kids when they were in Gainesville.
