creed 1,790 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 "Harry's...where the elite meet". It's gone and was located across the road near where Niffers is located on Opelika road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunsmithAU 383 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I believe that's a big before my time, i lived on Opelika road for about 6 years and never heard of it. However, found some pretty cool nastolgia pieces you might be interested in! https://longlosttees.com/products/harrys-bar https://auburnart.com/products/auburn-al-popular-hangout-for-auburn-students-harry-s-bar-vintage-framed-photo https://www.secrant.com/rant/auburn-sports/throwback-thread---harrys/66277282/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunsmithAU 383 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 If it was right across from where country's BBQ is now, that's now a Mexican restaurant and another building that's been a million different things in the last decade or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyAU 3,745 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Yeah, it had become a dump. Probably should have been torn down years earlier. I miss it too though. It was always our last stop on a weekend in college. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnAlumFromThe423 106 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Pretty sure in the men’s room there, amongst all the scribble on the wall, somebody contributed in ink, “Bear Bryant sleeps with the fishes”! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my days of the early mid 2010s, it was Fat Daddy's. It was always interesting to see the mix of super drunk college kids, middle aged single mothers who were attractive 20 years and a substance abuse problem ago, and construction workers in one place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubcali 457 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 So many stories at Harry’s… Anybody remember Master’s Grill (I think that was the name) down the road from Touchdowns? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wire Road 2 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I was there mid-90s… Loved that place Favorite graffiti slogan I remember is one that said “Flush Twice- It’s a Long Way To Tuscaloosa “ I seem to remember the Jukebox had a good mix of classic rock and (real) country…Good times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wire Road 2 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Since we’re on the topic- does anyone know how Harry’s (when it was open)was able to keep serving alcohol all night? Seems like there was a 2:00 am curfew on drinks in most places…Only the Supper Club and Harry’s were able to keep serving… I know the Supper Club had the “private club “ angle…With Harry’s, I always figured it was a combination of the owners/ bartenders not caring, and the cops not wanting to fool with the paperwork… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have also been a club, tho I do not remember signing up for membership. (but that means squat considering the shape I was in after closing down other bars. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stumbled out of there after the sun came up on a couple of occasions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
