10/27/2010

ADDRESS: 1680 Smith Rd., Temperance

PHONE: 734-847-6105

ORIGIN OF THE NAME: We're right on the border of Ohio and Michigan. When it changed hands, buyers Debbie and R.D. Gehring of Toledo kept the name. It would have been foolish to change because it's been established so long.

TYPE OF MUSIC YOU FEATURE: We have live bands Friday and Saturday nights. Some country, but mostly bands that play classic rock and cover tunes. We've featured Running With Scissors, Rodney Parker & Liberty Beach, and MAS FiNA. There is a disc jockey on Tuesday who plays '80s music. Thursdays is karaoke.

CLIENTELE: There is an older crowd during the day but have a diverse age-group in the evenings after 7 and on weekends ranging from people in their 20s to 50s.

UPCOMING EVENT: Our Halloween party will be on Saturday.
