Ah, memories! I saw the Bad Brains, Tiny Desk Unit and a few other bands there. That was a great venue. It was also where I first tried Sambuca. The bartender recommended it.
I never liked black licorice, so I wouldn't, and haven't, even tried an anise-flavored beverage. Whiskey & coke was my preference. But I finally gave up drinking altogether decades ago. 😋
