     Judging by it's reputat- 
     
     ion, I quite expected 
     
     something different from 
     
     The Granada. I expected 
     
     to see a rough. noisy 
     
     crowd, but it wasn't that 
     
     way at all. The crowd was 
     
     actually rather polite. 
     
    

    
     A few were terribly drunk, 
     
     but still somewhat polite. 
     
     And now for the facts. 
     
    

    
     The Granada is open from 
     
     11:00 am to 1:00 am Monday 
     
     through Saturday. There 
     
    

    
     is a live band every night 
     
     and the music starts at 
     
     9:30. A cover charge of 
     
    

    
     $2 exists only on Friday 
     
     and Saturday night, and 
     
     there are no dress restri- 
     
     ctions. 'V '

     ally I could have become 
     
     'a great fan of the Granada 
     
     had it not been for the 
     
     high prices, which were 
     
     geared toward the rich

     _poor,*penny—pinching 
     
     student. Unfortunately, 
     
    

    
     .I fall into the latter 
     
     catagory. The day prices 
     
     are 85¢ for beer and 1.10 
     
     for shots. I was told by 
     
     the manager that‘evening 
     
     prices are 1.05 for beer 
     
     and 1.35 for shots through 
     
     the week. But, on closer 
     
    
   
   
    
     (in person) scrutiny, I 
     
     found that a person is 
     
     charged 1.20 for a beer. 
     
     That's what I was charged 
     
     (and I don't think it was 
     
     because of bad. breath 
     
     either.) I was not the 
     
     only person who complained 
     
     of high prices. Several 
     
     people stayed for one 
     
     drink, then left. 
     
    

    
     But that's the bad part. 
     
     I've saved the best for 
     
     last. The band on this 
     
     particular night was 
     
     Professor Lett and Study. 
     
     They are without a doubt 
     
     the best rhythm & blues 
     
     -soul- band to play in

     Well, the Prince Edward 
     
     Lounge presented quite a 
     
     contrast, I must say. It 
     
     was an older crowd which 
     
     did a lot of hooting and 
     
     hollering and cheering 
     
     to the country music of 
     
     Jim and Don Haggart. I 
     
     don't particularly care 
     
     for country music (especi— 
     
     ally the foot stomping 
     
     variety) but everyone 
     
     seemed to be enjoying 
     
     themselves. In any case, 
     
     though, I did not stay 
     
     very long. 
     
    

    
     ~ThereVis a one dollar 
     
     cover charge on Friday 
     
     and Saturday only ("No 
     
     Blue jeans please"). Music 
     
     starts at 9:30. 
     
    

    
     Day prices are; 85¢ for 
     
     both beer and shots. The 
     
     Prince Edward Lounge has 
     
     a happy hour which is quite 
     
     reasonable; 60¢ each for 
     
     beer and shots from 4:00 
     
     pm. Night prices, in 
     
     effect from 8:30 to 1:00 
     
     am, are 1.05 for a bottle 
     
     of beer and 1.35 for a 
     
     shot of booze. 
     
    

    
     They also have a Satur- 
     
     day Matinee Talent Show 
     
     which anyone can enter. 
     
     Show starts at 3:30 and 
     
     goes until 6:30. 
     
    

    
     As I mentioned, I didn't 
     
     stay too long. I would 
     
     rather listen to Funky 
     
     music and Rock'and Roll 
     
     (from the soul).

     seems to be the best
