Peanut bars were a big "rage" in the mid 80's around here...almost every bar ya went to had unlimited supply of peanuts in the shell and ya sat there gorging yourself on them while downing your beer and watching whatever was on sports...throwing the shells on the floor...everywhere ya walked it was "crunch" ... "crunch" ...coming from the shells on the floor and the patrons chowing down on the peanuts.

 

There's at least one such place still around... it's in Victoria, BC.. called "Big Bad John's" .... quite the tourist attraction and a fav wih many locals including myself whenever I go over there. They play real old western music ... some "not so famous" Canadian stuff from guys like Stompin Tom Connors. They have thousands of women's bra's hanging from the ceiling...bra's donated by tourists and locals over the years and on the walls there's bills (dollar, 2 dollar, 5 dollar, etc) from Canada, US, and other parts of the world, not to mention numerous autographs and inscriptions from all kinds of famous folk who've visited the place. The owner and his bartenders/servers wear old "farmer" like clothing .... I love that place! Oh yeah... unlimited supply of peanuts and the shells are everywhere! To get a "rise" out of unsuspecting visitors, they have those "fake dead chickens" strung on wires above and they'll rattle an old cowbell and slide the chicken down close to someone, freakin them out LOL

 

If ya ever get to Victoria ya gotta check the place out!

Peanuts on the floor has been around a while. Texas RoadHouse in Charleston is like that..... As I remember, that is where I proposed to Leslie at. I must have slipped on the peanut shells and bumped my head that night. Good thing, because several years later I still feel that was the best move I ever made.....

The Steak House in Mountain Home, AR does it. They server cajun peanuts. I took 86er there when he came through town. They are kind of spicy hot.

The place looks a little funky with the names carved in the tables and the license plates nailed to the walls but---The sandwiches are very good and the beer is cold, even in a plastic cup. I make it a point to stop there every MB trip.
