Bar or restaurant with live 80s-90s music
Hello everyone! Looking to go out with husband for a break after work week on a Friday/Saturday night. A bar or a restaurant that plays music of the 80's and 90's. Those kind of music by Kenny Rogers, Barry M, America, James Taylor, ect. Hoping to hear from you guys. Thank you in advance.
may_raf There are plenty of bars around that have live music, but I have never heard Kenny Rodgers or Barry Manilow played at any of them. Most likely not so great for business. No offense meant, but I can't see people jamming to "You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Lucille" or "Can't Smile Without You". I have heard a James Taylor song or two here and there when there is a one man band set-up, but not even that very often.
Calico696 I wouldn't consider any of those to be "music of the '80s and '90s" anyway, more like the '70s...

Maxfields On Main in Boonton has a classic rock band Friday night.
And some quality beers on tap.
CBGB Yes, probably the 70's music to 90's. It just that the new generations mysic especially rock music is not my thing. Maybe I would say band that plays classic songs, love songs or anything not loud and not rock music. I will keep looking and thank you for your inputs. More suggestions are highly appreciated.
I suggest you go to the Log Cabin on Rt.46 in Knowlton, pop $5 in the juke box, and pick out the music you want to hear.
Your sure to get a few comments and laughs when you play some of those artists- but it will be a change of pace!

Hacklifer Oh my God I can NOT get the song out of my head since reading this thread three hours ago. Anyone care to share in my misery and sing along lol? (Sorry.)
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille...

When I was a kid I thought he sang "400 children and a crop in the field."
Never understood the problem, seemed like he had enough help to me

Tracy "80's and 90's music is "oldies" now? Good grief"
Technically yes. I know it's hard to swallow. I graduated HS in 1986 and songs from my my school days are being played on the "oldies" station. Sigh......
Call Panther pub to see who they have on a Friday night. Kennedys Saturday? I'd say it's rarely "current" music.
maja2 JWOLFE----I thought the same thing!!!!
and I am not lying when I say this...I am at work and the Garth Brooks station is on..and this song came on just now!!! true story
htownlifer I feel your pain as well Calico Lol.
It would be funny to see bikers singing along to Barry Manilow's At The Copa!! Lol
As an aside, check out the app Gigbeat. It lets you know live music anywhere. Choose venues, bands etc. It's great.

Great band called Sick Star Nation is playing at Bea McNally's on Saturday night. They play a wide variety of music from yesterday and today.
Music Junkie Shameless plug: My husbands band Aisle 5, http://www.aislefiveband.com, plays 80s thru today with a touch of 70s.
They perform regularly at Patrick's Pub in Hopatcong, Black River Barn in Randolph and Draught House in Washington, to name a few.
iRun Pavincis in Hopatcong has a band that plays there maybe twice a month. They are called Lost in Place. I think you will like the music. 70 to 90's and they are really good. We go just to listen to the band.

JeffersonRepub Not a bar or restaurant, but BOC will be in the real New Brunswick to tomorrow night (had to bring this up due to ianimal's comment on the Trump thread). You just might see the mighty iJay there, if you are lucky...

iJay BOC is playing my daughter's birthday party in a couple weeks. $20 each and they get to stay until the keg is kicked (-;
Come on ianimal, you were a fan back in the day, raise that compensation to $200 a head and they just might show :)
A friend of my husband has a band "High in the Mid Eighties" that is playing at Pavinci's on 12/10.

Ronnie The song is by Kenny Rogers, "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.."
I know my country music!
Music Junkie, I love Sick Star Nation and they do play a wide range of music but after this person said they don't like rock, I'm sure they would be running for the door if they heard the music they play. I have seen this awesome band multiple times and never once heard Kenny Rogers or Barry Manilow. They play more along the lines of Rock and even sing some of today's more mainstream music but with a little edge to it.
Sick Star Song List (this is what I can remember hearing form them)
Green Day
Blink 182
Motley Crue
Sponge
Gin Blossoms
Seether
Train
Lady Gaga
Bon Jovi
Stone Temple Pilots
Creed
Guns N Roses
Metalica
Radiohead
Some country and 70s Funk

NJKID1010 The Log Cabin frequently has bands on the weekends (they are only open on Friday - Sunday) that play 80's and 90's music. Your best bet is to call on a weekend your thinking of going and finding out who is playing. They also have amazing pizza (which you can get for $1) between 2-5. I am a fan :)
red76nj "When I was a kid I thought he sang "400 children and a crop in the field.""
Everyone did. We still sing it that way when one of the old timers plays it on the jukebox at our social club.
"Actually the song title is simply "Lucille""
There you go getting all technical on us. ;-)
I thought the song was called Loose Wheel?
