About this Blog
While sitting around having coffee with a friend of mine, Jim Headley, the subject of the Fort Ground Tavern's remodel came up. We talked about this establishment and how our lives had been touched by its history. One thing led to another and before long Jim was talking about the various bars that had been in Coeur d'Alene, and I began to write them down.
The rich memories that are dug up when we talk about these establishments always bring smiles and far off stares. We cannot for loose this bit of our past, so I have established this blog to try to document this information before it is lost for ever.
The posts are in no particular order. I will post new watering holes when I get pictures or historical information about the location. Photos have been taken off other web sites and reposted here. I have established a 20 mile radius of the Cd'A area and will post any drinking establishment that resides within that circle. If you feel any images here are published without permission or violate any copyright, please contact me and they will be promptly removed.
As you read through, or look at the photos, feel free to comment. If you have a digital photo and would like to share it, email it to canyonwren@roadrunner.com and I will post it and give you credit. Contact me if you have a bar photo, but don’t have a scanner and I will help you digitize it. Take a moment and write down a memory and together we can collect the History of the Bars of Coeur d'Alene. If the bar or tavern you frequented is not listed in the blog, visit my map of the Bars of Cd’A and see if it is posted there.

Yay! That was my home away from home! You did know of this cool place! Awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteOur hotshot crew practically lived there during our few days off during the summer of 1967. Lot of fires, but a LOT of beer!
ReplyDelete.. smell of beer, noisy, rowdy, at least two inches of beer on the floor ..
ReplyDeleteSpent many weekends there. Still have my mug, slightly cracked but still has my name and Rathskeller Inn on it.
ReplyDeleteAside from being the live music capitol of the Spokane area in the late 60's, Rats was the place where the cutest girl in Gonzaga U. asked me to give her a kiss. It was also the place where I drunkenly came conscious with the bouncer beating me with a floor broom as I was standing in their washing machine where I had lost my glasses while trying to nap one off.
ReplyDeleteRathskellers was the "University" I attended 5 years in Pullman. . . Saw Head East / Rail / White Lion / all before they were headliners - at Rats. Percy was the owner and if you made friends with him , well beer was never a problem.
ReplyDeleteAlong with the Corner Pocket, this was like our second home away from home!
DeleteBlack Rose!!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Steve Shepperd. I am writing a story for the Historik App about the Rathskeller Inn. May I use the photos of Rats with my story...I will give proper credit. There are so few pictures of the interior or the building. Thanks for considering my request.
