I am having a brief period of forgetfulness, LOL.
The Anchor, I know it was Cowboys in the early 80's but was it called the Anchor in the 70's and was it called some thing else in between and in the late 70's

Nope, biker bar on Cordova in Gastown. Great place in the day. Don't think it is there anymore.

It is still there in a split version, restaurant bar. Alexanders and another name. It was Canvas during the Olympics.

[griff22]

It was also called Alhambra for awhile but still missing one name

We only knew it as the Anchor and it was not anything fancy.

Confetti's

The Air Affair was a great place in the early 80's. My fave though was Annabel's in the basement of the Four Seasons. Great place to go after work until the traffic died down. And there was a a gorgeous server there, name of Jan...

That it was thank you! Could not remember it for anything but one of those moments when you remember the total physical layout right down to where the bathrooms were located ....
Ed an Me for a pizza before, Knight and Day after closing ....
There was another club on Kingsway further up and if I remember right there were actually 2 venues in the building
Then there is still the lounge behind Dennys and the 83 Legion and 314 ANAF.....
Good times, good friends!

Found this thread while searching the Town Pump. A favorite of mine in the early 80s. Was there almost every day. Often think about Lil Donna the Manager. All the wonderful waitresses and music. Great food too. Went for the cheese plates everyday after work and usually stayed til closing. Then, reading through all the other clubs. Wow, they were good days indeed.

[omisimaw]

I wonder if the Sylvia Hotel lounge is still there. Small with a fantastic view of English Bay!

Anyone remember the name of the restaurant that later became a Keg below Oil Can Harry's???? They had the best, the very best, eggs bennie at 3 am LOL
