I believe it's mandatory that I respond to this thread.
Trust me, when that place closed, that was the end of Chuck's.
The current version never even came close.
I always liked Sutters.

All within one night, I witnessed the Ng-Bat stand up on a chair and air guitar the Rolling Stones while lip syncing and then proceeded to use a fake Alabama accent to try and pick up women. I think the Ng-Bat set too high a standard for me. This occured after Pitt football, 2012. It all occurred in front of my sister.
My vague memory of what transpired in the mid 70's...I heard that the original HC's was owned by a group in Boston. The fellow that was managing HC's (and doing a great job imo) was attempting to buy them out. I think he succeeded? It was good when I left in the late 70's. (My info may not be accurate)
I think it has been through a few owners since?
This guy's sister went into the kitchen at Chuck's and came back with a copious amount of free chicken fingers. Happy times.
Ok refresh my memory. I was there in early 2000s. I lived at Harry's and Faegans. Was Chucks on the other side of the street upstairs? Was it called Chucks? Witnessed many a scuffle there. I seemed to recall a bar between that and the brueggers/barber shop that had an aquatic feel to it (but it's probably just bad memory).
I don't think FNW was there in my time. Is it on the corner? I remember a bar called Lucy's. is that still there?Chuck's is right next to Funk N Waffles basically. Down that same little alleyway.

Lucy's is still a bar. Now the Orange Crate.

Ok thanks! Maybe I'm nuts but I don't think that alley was there back thenFrom this perspective, Faegan's is basically directly behind you and Lucy's is to the left.
Aka BraggsDarwins, RIP, was across the street from Harry's on the 2nd floor above the beer store.
Darwins! God bless your soul!! What is there now?Darwins, RIP, was across the street from Harry's on the 2nd floor above the beer store.
Ah, Bragg's... used to get a beer float there from time to time...Aka Braggs

It's still odd seeing Chuck's where Sutter's Mill & Mining Co. should be.
The same could be said for Lucy's (Orange Crate?) where Buggsy's should be.
Progress... I guess... they need to make M. Street, and surroundings, great again!
I knew some of the owners back in the day and noted a couple trends. First, the summer is a killer for those not cash flow savvy. Second, yayo and E are not cheap.At least Faegan's and the Varsity are still there.
You'd think owning a bar in a college town would be like a license to print $, but I guess with all the issues w/ underage drinking, it's less so than it used to be.
RIP: Buggsy's, Bragg's, Maggie's, Sutter's, etc.
I guess I really was keeping all of those places in business!
Always liked their food. Good job! What happened to that place? Why did it close?One summer I lived up in the house at the corner of Comstock and Euclid and cooked at Sutter's. Early 80s. Great time.
