The bartenders are both dlgnl-

spoof the customers. The waitresses
service the tables frequently. The
chilled beer glasses provide the ultimate receptacles fpr beer. The ambl

The result is a genteel aggie In

Perhaps becauae.lt was the sixth
establishment that we visited Monday night, or perhaps because It was
Monday night, our visit to The Lounge
was not uplifting.
But to be confronted with the
spectacle of an aging agricultural

a personal effort not to let his Tailor

illuminated dance floor—while a few
benumbed and Isolated patrons blew
smoke lings vacantly at the celling—
was to be confronted with more ambience than we could manage.

The Upstart Crow
I admit that before the management of die bookstore/restaurant The
Upstart Crow bought me a cup of tea.
I was toying with sentences like, "the
Crow somehow succeeds In making
Fresno appear more provincial than
It Is."
After the tea I realized that 1 was
actually referring to Woody Laughnan.
The Crow boasts the best con-
verstlonallsts tn Fresno, rare combinations of "nostalgic de la boue" and
the creative urge, certified by over 50
rejection slips from major publishing
companies (under 50's are detained
at Marie Calendar's).
The Crow may be a trifle selfconsciously piquant but It offers unusual coffees, a broad selection of
books and interesting conversation.
If that weren't enough to tip the
scales, then the Crow Is worth a visit
If only because it oners succor to those
delightful pariahs of Fresno cafedom.

The Casino
The clientele enjoy a cup of coffee at the Upstart
Crow and Co. 	
The Casino
The Casino may be the most professional and together disco in Fresno.
Co-ordinated by Tony Ungaro. veteran
Disc Jockey and self proclaimed "31
year-old hippie". The Casino Is a well-
thought out bumporeum.
The walls are themattcaUy covered
with green felt patterns of Las Vegas
gaming tables, mirrors and lights.
The vapor from dry ice rolls across
the dance floor. It's relatively busy
every night.
Wild Blue Yonder
The Yonder la that building In
the Tower District that elicits the
odor of burnt rope.
Here music Is played In order to
be listened to and appreciated by the
audience, which Is ranged at tables
around the small stage.
There's room for good, uninhibited dancing off to the side of the
stage but the emphasis is on creative
music, not disco gunk.
Occasionally a chap or two In this
place looks and acts as If stunned by
a mind ray but not to worry; the
Yonder has an exceptionally benign
character.
But then the Y'onder would have
to be accommodating, hosting as it
does a wide spectnim of Jazz, rock,
country and folk music, as well as
several unique mixtures thereof.
They even liave belly dancing
on Wednesdays.
Feed and Fuef
Feed and Fuel has peanut shells
all over the floor and a high volume
live disco/top 40 band.
The peanut shells are from the
baskets of unsheDed peanuts which
the bartenders dispense. The noise
level, remarkably enough, seems to
Impede no converstlon although considerably more effort must be made
here In order to have one. Most people
seem very eager to socialize and dance.
The Breakers
The Breakers occupies a mid-
ground between the college crowd and
the mld-30's businessmen, and as
such it has appeal for both
The people aged In their late 20 s.
who compromise the majority of the
clientele here, make for a mellow
mature and very sociable group.
This business oriented, well-
mannered crowd comes to listen to a.
popular, easy listening vein of Jazz
and rock And yes. there Is daw trig,
but the place Is no disco.
Not yet. anyway. In a month,
however, the Breakers goes rltsco
There will be specials on the drinks
every night The management Is say
lng It will be, "a low-key disco that
the otders can enjoy."
It wlO be Interesting to see a "low-
key disco."
