West Mayfield Lounge, located on 37th St.

Memories:
Paul Thompson
That place was open on Aug 10, 1984. I remember because I got into a bad car wreck (DUI) that day. When I was released from the hospital on Aug 14, 1984, it was closed.

Jeanine Bathgate
Then it became a convenience store. It was nice having it there when I'd need a gallon of milk or eggs.

Carla Weatherly
I worked there 1 year, then Sonny and Carl bought it. It really was terrible! I never left behind bar and it was a huge bar. Always had my back up.

Bernadette Lindsay
I can't believe Sonny and Busser are both gone. Oh the stories I remember from the lounge!

Bobbi J Ceriani Ciotti
How about the time Sonny shot the pinball machine?!!!! Guess he wasn’t winning, LOL.

Ollie Enfrie
A friend lived upstairs in the early 70s. Used to be go-go girls there too. Think it used to be named The Manor.
