It was so small we couldn't all fit if anyone else was there so we'd put five dollars in the jukebox and play Mr. Brownstone until the place cleared out then the bartender would unplug it. We tipped well.<br />Skullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081932967310467192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-90209373697625525942015-03-15T16:47:01.351-04:002015-03-15T16:47:01.351-04:00Lots of lost leases now in the 'hood.

I got my DJ start there back when it first opened (after Black Star) and I played in that back room on Saturday nights for two and a half years. I saw some wild parties come through that room and on those couches and I will never forget wheeling two crates of records to and from the bar (and up five flights of stairs) each and every Saturday. Best of luck to Kal and the gang in their future endeavors.Sparberhttp://soundcloud.com/sparbernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-84556507016437780562015-03-13T19:19:04.489-04:002015-03-13T19:19:04.489-04:00Kabin is not a bad place.

Saw a lot of good comedy in that backroom and it was free. Cheap booze too. Also, several mars bar regulars are always there. Now they are assed out again. Lots of old neighborhood people are in there during the day reading or just hanging out with the door open. Sucks. Sorry to see it go.

They occasionally had live music on Sunday afternoons. Saw some pretty good musicians playing there. It also was popular with cops from the 9th Precinct. who'd patronize the bar after work. They always stayed open very late, till daylight. If you knew the knock, you could get in . The Kabin's security people were quite strict and there was no hollering and woo-hooing outside the bar. Kinda sorry to see it close.Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416518509228779720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-81666923926291854792015-03-13T13:18:29.473-04:002015-03-13T13:18:29.473-04:00@11:35 - It was a little too loud for my taste.

And they had a separate room for private parties, which was quite nice. The bartenders were all very nice.
