According to legend the Point was once dotted with something like 40 bars.
An effort to catalogue the taverns and bars been undertaken on a Facebook site and many have noted various names of establishments but we are attempting to put them into a geographical and chronological time frame.
Please help with information in the comments section.
Mostly these places were peaceful but the tales of violence tend to be what we remember.
At the 1&2 on Butler West End Gang assassin and general madman Jackie McLaughlin supposedly shot a guy in the leg because he didn't like the way the guy treated his girlfriend. The Olympic Tavern, once known as the Bucket of Blood was where one of the McGurnahans was shot dead, supposedly as punishment for cutting Alan Ross in the face with a bottle.
The Palomino was where Mike McManus was shot eight times but survived.
And we have written about the mayhem at the Do Drop In elsewhere on Coolopolis.
Nowadays people want wifi, not rounds of beer so such places are almost such establishments are gone.
Please help fill out this map with more locations and stories. Any precise dates and addresses will be much appreciated.
