Ah—then you’re likely thinking of The Airport Lounge (often remembered simply as “the Airport Bar”), at the old 9th Avenue site that later became the Shell near the airport—not The Red Garter. I can’t fully verify the old-business record from the sources I have in front of me, but that location clue points there.

👉 Was it the place with the package store/beer-and-wine side, or do you remember a different name on the sign?
