That fits the time frame -- my dad was at Duke 67-71 and one of his best friends was a DKE at Chapel Hill same years

Also, Rusty Clark (class of 1969) was a DKE, so it would make sense if basketball players hung out there. Hmm.

Zog’s Art Bar & Pool Hall* (Upstairs above Henderson Street Bar -- once owned by Tim Kirkpatrick, blocking back to All-American Don McCauley)​


14 bars listed here...stars are beside ones where I have had at least had a beer (I don't really drink distilled spirits). The Dead Mule Club gets two stars because I actually tended bar there once many years ago.

During my 25 years tending bar in Chapel Hill/Carrboro I never enjoyed Bar Golfers...at The Hardback Cafe they could be very much in the way and by the time they got to Tijuana Fats/Henry's Bistro they were usually so lit as to either be unservable or true pains in the ass. Back in those days The Dead Mule was a private club so it was not on the circuit. Local 506 was the same. I do not ever remember Bar Golfers at The Cave, I think it was too scary. Bar Golf was not played at The Orange County Socialist Club -- too, too far from campus.

The article linked in the post above does have some interesting observations about what drinks are popular and the nature of some of the clubs.
 
I played bar golf once - in Spring 1988 as a freshman.
There was one guy in the group I didn’t previously know. He didn’t talk much and I don’t think I ever spoke directly to him.
His name was Wendell Williamson.

Wendell now leaves his facility for up to 12 hours unsupervised multiple times per week.
