Also - if it's a recliner, it's either the chair that Red himself used to sit on, or it must be from a different bar. By all accounts I've heard and read, there were NO seats at the Tube Bar for the customers, not even bar stools. Apparently, Red felt that this would "slow people down" and let them get comfortable as they were drinking. He wanted to keep things moving. I heard he would threaten people with his constant companion (the baseball bat) if they weren't drinking "fast enough."

I can practically hear his gravelly voice now.... HAHAHA!!

HAHAHA!! Tube Bar! Bingo! Nice one! 2 points!

I know nothing of the Tube Bar, other than the tapes. My friend's dad used to hang out there. He said it was indeed a scary place. Heck, from the sound of those tapes, Red himself was a pretty scary dude.

A true JC classic character, though! Those tapes may have made me laugh harder than anything else I've ever heard in my life.

Cheers, Red!

Your memory lives on here in JC!

Actually. Now that I think of it, the chair may be from the Journal Square pub, not the Tube bar....Now I'm not so sure..

Anyway. I honestly don't miss the Tube though. I don't know about Red, himself, but there were some very scary characters in there........

It was like a solid disc (mounted vertically) with a single seat welded onto it. I never actually rode it, but I'll always remember it. They had a few pinball machines (the Kiss one being the most notable) and that air hockey table. I loved that air hockey table.

FastEddie - Thanks for the confirmation on the restaurant name! Do you happen to remember if the place changed names along the way? For some reason I remember hearing that they had to change it because they were getting sued by the Mad Magazine people for using the name without permission, or something like that. And being that you were old enough to drink beer there at the time, your memory of it will be way better than mine. Aside from the soda glass issue, were the rest of the memories fairly accurate? I was just a kid, and it's all kind of hazy in my brain. I really wish I had a better memory. I miss those days.

Also - do you remember exactly where it was located on 440? Was it near the Roosevelt Lanes site (as I remember it being), or was it actually farther down toward Communipaw? I'm really not sure. Could it have been near the site of the old drive in movie theater?

And one more thing for my fellow long time Jersey Citians, does my screen name ring a bell in a Jersey City historical type of way? It's associated with something uniquely "Jersey City." Appropriately for this thread, it's associated with a place that's been shut down a long time. I'm kind if surprised nobody has called me out on it yet. He's a "famous" JC person, in a weird sort of way. Using his name is my way of sort of "tipping my cap" to him. Red Deutsch (pronounced "Doitch," I think). 2 points for anyone who knows who he is without Googling it!

Actually. I have a chair from the Tube Bar

A green leather recliner that I bought on Craigslist. When my husband picked it up from somehwere in NJ, the owners were excited to learn it was going to back to JC because the chair was from the Tube bar....

It wasn't that long ago, Red-D...I?m only a year older than you, and I happen to think I'm not that old!! But, I don?t think I ever ate there; Al Neumans, huh? Was it by the Stadium? Must have been a ?Greenville? place

But Two Guys! Yes, of course. .My mom bought all my polyester there! And, I remember Valley Fair too?

Tripoli? Was that a little place with really good ravioli?

And, How about Dom?s Dairy (the stinky cheese store) next to Park Tavern?? Great Meatball Parm with fresh Mozzerella....

The dining room was off to the side and they had mostly booths, if I remember. Maybe with a few large round tables. The menu was sort of ordinary American foods (diner-ish) - burgers, fries, etc. You know what I distinctly remember about the place, come to think of it now? THE ONION RINGS! YES! The onion rings! Big, fat, greasy onion rings! I loved them! HAHAHAHA! I haven't thought about those in probably 30 years!

That was def the name of the place, Al Newman's. I don't remember any red plastic soda cups though, I always drank beer there. They served pitchers with frosted mugs.

You guys are leaving out Duckys on Newark ave nxt door to Schneiders bakery and up the block from Tripoli Restuarant...

Sorry, being a noob here, I haven't figured out how to work the quote feature on this forum yet. It's a little different than another I visit. Sorry for the ignorance. I'm referring to Justin, a couple posts up.

You know what I remember most about the Rodeo? Aside from the guy setting fire to your steak to make it cook quicker? The "Texas Toast!" Hahaha! It was my favorite part of the meal! They made a good T-bone, too.

What was the name of the cold cut place in the mall a couple doors down? Was that "Fabulous Meat City," or something like that? The mall that sold meats! HAHAHA Now they just have 19 different sneaker places.

Big, fat, greasy onion rings! I loved them! HAHAHAHA! I haven't thought about those in probably 30 years! This is going way back (for me, anyway). Hate to admit it, but I'll be 38 soon, and this is definitely going back to childhood memories. Hopefully they're fairly accurate. This place was in business way before there was so much development in the area. I think Great Eastern / Valley Fair was still there, and Two Guys was still around, too. Back to those days. If I remember, I don't even think the Colonette even existed when this place that I'm trying to think of was open (not sure of that fact, though - don't know when the Colonette was built). Definitely back in the days of Roosevelt Stadium - when it was actually an active ball park and major league baseball farm teams played some games there! I believe they were called the Jersey City Indians, and they were a farm team for the Cleveland Indians. My dad took me to see Rickey Henderson play there before he hit the big leagues. That, I definitely remember!

Sorry - the memories are taking me in different directions now... hahaha. If you can come up with the name of that place, I'll owe you a big gold star!

And yup! Villaggio's! Bingo!

Roy's Buena Vista on Mallory. Calamari was good.

Downtown Eddie's. He sponsored a hockey team I played on years ago. We stunk, but his food was great after a game. We all wanted to bring him a championship trophy to display but it never happened.

Just for kicks - not that it was a favorite, but does anyone remember the Rodeo in the Hudson Mall?

What was the name of the place on 440, located somewhere over near where Roosevelt Lanes used to be? This is going back MANY years. It disappeared when I was a kid and I can never remember the name. I remember that they had the first "car driving" video game I ever saw. The screen was green, and it had a stick shift and a steering wheel. I remember the volume being excessively loud most of the time. The only other thing I can remember about the place is that they served sodas in red plastic cups. It was a sit-down type place. The name has escaped me for years, and it bugs me.

Nope. Jules on Westside was the best! Sorry, Heights people:o)

LOVED the Rodeo?.It reminds me of Tads Steaks in the City?standing in line for the greasy brush?.Yum. Yum?.Yummy.

And, Red-Deutsch, please post it when you remember what you?re thinking of on 440 with the red cups??? I can?t imagine what you mean. There was a Diner?The Colony, I think. And, I believe that was where the Pizza Hut was - back when they had waitresses?I think they had red cups (just like Jules)?But, I?m curious to know what you?re thinking?.What kind of food??

And, wasn?t it Villagio; the Pizza parlor on 440 with the Gyros? The pizza was really good when it first opened.

Tippys! Yummy. Forgot about them all?I?m so hungry right now. I?m dying for a Jules Meatball parm?.They were like giant breadballs covered in that sweet red sauce.

I always wonder about the Barge/Barge Inn when I pass the one on Monmouth?I remember a Barge Inn, but I don?t remember it being downtown. Were there two?

Yes, I agree, Tippys was a good one. My mom had a friend up that way that used to baby sit me when I was a kid. They'd always have Tippy's take out on the nights they were watching me.

This thread is making me hungry.

The Plank Board was right up in that area too, and that was a good one as well. Little more high-brow, or whatever you want to call it, but the food was always good.

Another sort of "fancy" type place I remember as a kid was the Barge. Truthfully, I don't even recall whether it was actually in JC or not, and I have no idea what ever came of the place, but all I do remember is that place had some really good seafood. First time I ever tried king crab legs was there.

Now I'm definitely hungry.

Hell YEAH, You can't be from JC and not remember the Rodeo at the Mall, use to have to stand on line with a tray waiting for that Steak, it was no Arthur's, but good at the time. Howabout the Gyro & Pizza place in the same parking lot area as the 440 mall......

I have to dissagree with Jules on WestSide, I think the one up in the Heights on Franlin was DA BEST!!!!

I miss Tippys on the Blvd & Brother's dinner on Central accross from the North District.

Though in rare cases train cars were made into Diners, like these:

I also miss Melt and Comfort Bistro, along with the old newport pancake house (pre Brownstone Diner). I know the owners are the same, but I miss the old building, its ambience and the old menu.

What inspired this post? I was just FINALLY cleaning out a deep drawer where I keep all of the take-out menus I acquire.

I was amazed to see how many places have died over the years since I moved to Jersey City back in 2001! May they all rest in peace.

I miss the places that actually serve good, delicious food...

I really miss Simple Cafe too (i.e., before current management). It used to be such an awesome spot to chill. Now I feel like crying everytime I see what it has become.
