Back in the 1980s there was also OV/Rolling Rock Splits night on Mondays at Mulligans Brick Bar in the Allentown section of Buffalo.
It was a big hang out for the college kids. It was called the brick bar because the walls and floor were brick

On Mondays they would sell you a case of OV Spits(7 oz
Old Vienna bottles). Dump ice over the case and open up all 24 bottles. They had old metal milk crates scattered around the bar to collect all the bottles. Eventually bottles were dropped. So the brick floor would be a blend of beer and glass by the end of the night.

At the end of the night they would sweep up the glass, hose down the floor and down the drains in the floor.

I believe it is still there, but they no longer sell OV Splits of beer by the case.

We had a local bar with a concrete floor that we'd go to in the 80's. After the 2nd dropped bottle from someone in our group we knew it was time to go home.

A H.S. buddy went to UB, I went out to visit in the late 70's. He took us to the bar that supposedly started Buffalo Wings, then we saw The Cars at the memorial aud 10/5/1979.
