Antique Bizzare was a bar and grill in Hotel Aggie starting around 1968, replacing Debo's Pizza, and in turn replaced by La Esperanza. It had great food, especially "Bobby's Chilli", a BIG basket of fries, big bar buggers, and pizza. It was also quite dark, with candles in wine bottles on long, heavy tables, with benches. Rene's picture hung behind the bar.
Founded by Don Frank, later owned by Milt & Jane Eberle, who owned the hotel.
They hosted lots of music, including: The Family Tree (Law School), Scott van Ling, The Vet School Band. R. (truckin') Crumb playing his banjo. Bill Mahoney and many more. Open mike nights, movies Sunday nights. A post outside the front door rowdies got wrapped around.
The "AB" was a forerunner for The Grad (table styles), the Cabo (food and ambiance). The "Circle AB", (now "Pine Trails") was related.
Others on G Street at the time: Wooden Ship (Froggys), Mr Gee's, The Club, The Abby. On F Street: Mousey's.
Where the Grad is: Jekel & Hydes? A lounge on Olive Drive with a padded door.
