Quixote's closes later this month, and with it goes its drink specials. I will miss the $3 wells and $1 tall boys dearly. Hoping the new bar Southeastern that's under construction carries the torch.

What's with the "columns" by the entrance?

Pretty sure it was an old motel at some point. It certainly wasn't originally built as a bar but they redid the inside for Quixote's. They're tearing it down and building a designer hotel or something in its place, which is a damn shame.

I did enough coke to kill a horse when I was there in 2010. Fun times.

That is a seriously sketchy looking establishment.
Which means it’s probably filled with amazing memories.
Pour one out for the old, and raise a glass to the new.

As SEC towns become more affluent the sad side effect is bars like this close down. There are some dearly departed bars on Dickson Street that had that great college dive bar vibe going for them.

I ended up working the overnight shift at the front desk of the motel a couple of years later. I got paid waiter's wages (which I believe was $1.75 an hour) but basically slept through my shift except when some hardleg came by at 3am looking to rent a bed for a couple of hours. And in the morning I got a free breakfast, provided I swept up the popcorn in the bar area before 6am,
Good times.

Age test, what was it called before then?

At the end of the day Auburn could do better with it's downtown scene. There is basically just skybar and everyone is packed in like sardines.

Tigeress. Before the Bama glory days returned there were some monster drinks you could order at Tigeress.

A friend of mine was one of the owners. Looking forward to the new bar.

Two legendary SEC bars struck down too soon

Good ole days. You had Waldo Peppers, Mothers, Super Club just to name a few. I also remember the Cheap Drink Wars, there was a place near the mall that had an "All You Can Night" for $10. Could you imagine that today?
