1056 South Olden Avenue, Hamilton



1056 South Olden Avenue, Hamilton
The corner of South Olden Avenue and Cedar Lane.
A Quik Chek is across the street.
This was the Old Cedar Liquor Store & Tavern (Old Cedar Inn)
in the 1950's as it is today.

Hey Mack:

Way back when I was a boy. This was "Bee Bee's Tavern." My mom and I used to wait for the L-Liberty Street bus on the side porch which is now closed in. Across the street where Quik Check is today was the Kelly Memorial facility.

Mack: Glad to see something I remember is still there. Didn't they have a small bar in the back, I remember going there a few times to meet some friends.

Joe Z,
The bar was and probably still is called the "Speak Easy."

JoeZ said...

Thank Tom, that was the name.

Tom or Mack: One of my favorite places was E.J.'s on Route 1, they closed and had a great party for the closing, I never made it. There was a bar on Pine St. Duffy's Tavern, took a date there one night, there was only 1 other couple there. Dark Place.

E.J.'s was great place to meet and greet as was Duffy's. Duffy's later became "Timothy's" and then the "Casbah". Not sure what it is called now.
