I am very new to this site,but when you talk about Lucy's in the Sky. I loved it. I was there in 1978, met a lady that I am still in contact with and brought my girl friend up from Nashville. Man , what a club. I stayed on the 11th floor and the club was on the 12th. I never had to wait downstairs in those long long lines. The ladies were very very beautiful.

I could be mistaken, but I think that Cincinnati celebrity radio executive James (The Squirrel) Stadtmiller, may have hosted the Lucy's events at about that time. Do you recall hearing the Squirrel say that "all the women were beautiful and all the guys had good jobs?" His trademark at the time.

I think Tiger recently placed a whole new meaning on the term Cougar. Unless you are in his league, I recommend the many sports bar establishments around Cincinnati where you many encounter some good conversation, a pleasant evening, and who knows what else.

I can honestly say, I was so in love with the club and partiers, that he could have said it but my mind was else where. I do remember meeting Johnny Bench in the rest room, hahah. No, I did not ask for an autograph.

Lucy's was a very fun place, but the owners, Weingartner Hammonds a big company with multiple properties, ran a pretty tight ship. What was truly decadent were the Glass and the Conservatory which were both owned by the partiers themselves. There simply were no limits. At the Conservatory, I once had to work around the hostess who was engaged on the rest room lavatory counter to wash my hands. You wouldn't see that today. But, it was an entertaining time.

As for Johnny, he was a true gentleman at all times. He showed class even when circumstances would easily have permitted otherwise. I saw him repeatedly. Can't say the same for number 14.

All the hole in the bars on the west side are hot spots and always have been. The problem is most of the women have all kinds of baggage as well.

[SIZE=2] Well dang, just when '70s retro is getting to be too too hot, a Cincinnati icon of that very era is dying. That would be Lucy's, age 21.
Lucy's in the Sky, on the glass-walled 12th floor of the Holiday Inn downtown, closes Saturday morning after the 2 a.m. last call.
Lucy's, for those who have been living in a cave these past two decades, was the place for many of its 21 years. Great dance floor and great meat market (to use a politically incorrect '70s term), complete with Little Foxes (like Playboy Bunnies only in fox suits) dishing up the booze.
All the local jock celebs, visiting stars and local flashy folk went there to get wound up doing the disco thing in white suits and hair bigger than your father's Buick.
Gradually, with the opening of dance floors at places such as the Waterfront and Conservatory, Lucy's crowd started slip sliding away.
The other problem, hotel manager Bill Beard says, is that the hotel needs a room for functions and has nowhere to go - except to take over Lucy's.
The farewell party featuring house DJ E.J. and several ex-Lucy DJs runs 4 p.m.-2 a.m. Beard is going to give away the bar's famous accoutrements as door prizes: The mirrored ball goes; so do the neon lights; ditto the big wooden wall sculpture and, get this, 21 years worth of albums

As of today he's 34 and maybe 35. (Does anybody look at OP dates? )
Jag's was mentioned one time in this thread. From what I hear it still very much has that reputation.
