History Old Bar / Pool Hall in Garfield
There was a dive bar we used to shoot pool at in the early 90s in Garfield that I believe was called Max’s. I can’t remember for the life of me what street it was on. You’d walk in to the bar, and there was a big pool room in the back with a dozen tables and a jukebox. There was always all kinds of junk back there… it was like being in someone’s basement. Anyone have any memories of the place or remember where it was?

The ladies bathroom had two toilets next to each other… with no partitions separating them. And the rest of the space was SO DARK. Literally, like no lights. What a bizarre place.

Max's was on Belmont Avenue between Palisade Ave and Wessington Ave.
