Is Ms. Newbys still there? I'll check it out next time I'm there."The Brig"! That was it! I'm talking early 1980s. 'NiteTown' in Destin was a huge rock club back then, also.The damage was bad, but I guess it wasn't so bad. And most of it was on the inside. The outside, while still damaged, at least doesn't look bad. And I guess they decided that there was enough money in it to rebuild it.
Last time I went to "the brig", yeah, it was cold. But it also sucked. This must have been 1999 or thereabouts. I'm tellin' ya, the owners during that time frame killed the place with overpriced and mediocre crap menu and drinks.
I never hung in Destin, so I don't really know what's over there. Or still may be there. There was more than enough to do on PCB.
Ms. Newby's was a favorite hangout. As well as Hathaways (RIP).
I agree about LaVela. Never liked that place. Same with Spinnakers, although that was more tolerable.
