 ====== The Ardmore Bar ======
 The original bar located 717 North 16th St. After closing in ????, Used to be able to buy a ceramic beer stein,  which they would number with a sharpie on the bottom and put on a hook on the ceiling.  You'd come in and ask for your mug by number.  Also served a concoction in the late 70's called The Vulcan Mind Probe. [[The Gym Bar]] took over the location for ?? years. Now [[Caffrey's]] Pub operates out of this location.
+The Ardmore, which during the 80's had a decor remarkably similar to that of Grand Avenue Mall just a few blocks
+east on Wisconsin Avenue, was where the weekend would start.  Wednesday night was Import night, where every
+imported beer in the place was $1. On Wednesday's Import Night, the Ardmore also had an "Around the World Club".
+Each import beer was listed on a trifold brochure, and would be stamped by the bartender when ordered.

+Popularly known as "the Engineer Bar" for many years.  Also set the record for jukebox playing of "Chicago" by Frank Sinatra, which was always a highlight late in the evening.
