The Happy Apple Bar, a “three floor combination disco and fast-food service,” opened at 733 West St. Clair in 1975. The bar’s first floor, “styled after a western hotel,” contained food services. The second floor, a “psychedelic disco,” featured colored glass decor. The bar’s basement contained a nightclub and state-of-the-art sound system. During lunch hours, the basement nightclub operated as a “for men only club.”
