Captain Tom's Oar House

[Gummie]

Anyone still around who remembers this bar? I was working with CTOCS Bill Clymer (soon to be USNR), and he came in to work one Monday morning telling everyone about the bar he had bought.

Bill had a very soft voice and one of the new sailors had just arrrived from Guam and when he heard the name of the bar, he turned to me and said "I didn't know it was legal in the states."

A year or so later, we were talking to a daughter of a friend who was attending St. Marys College, I asked her if she had been to the Oar House and boy, did she turn red in the face and wanted to know how I knew about that. I was living in Severn at the time and she couldn't believe that anyone out of St. Marys county knew about the place.

Oh ya
I remember the Oar House... I'm pretty sure my dad helped with the actual bar construction. Spent lots of time there. Remember the bartender les Johnson?

 

[Gummie]

I was never there, just knew Bill when he bought it in the mid 70's.

Mantech had after work parties there when I started working for them in the 80's

Oh very well. Fun Rock and Roll bar. My mother used to work there.

Thursday was ladies night and the Road Ducks always played there. It rocked.

My uncle was really good friends with Les. He was sort of a fixture there (my uncle that is).

I think I will give away a lot of secrets about me if I admitted remembering this bar. Not to mention my age.
Sorry never heard of the place

Anyone still around who remembers this bar?

I remember it well, although I spent more time in other places. Lots of great bands and fun times.

 

[Riddler]

Where was it?

 

[wineo]

Where Cooks is in Park Hall.

Yep, remembered partying there back in the 70's. By the time I got back into the aera in the late 80's it was gone. Nice fireplace if I recall correctly.
