Oar House & Buffalo Chips Restaurant

http://www.oarhousebuffalochips.com This is a tribute website for the Oar House & Buffalo Chips Restaurant in Ocean Park - Santa Monica.

Both establishments are gone and O'Briens an Irish Pub currently occupies the real estate. Check it out - it's definitely worth your patronage.

It is with sadness and regret that we learn of the passing of Cathy Naugle, an Oar House waitress from the glory days of the late sixties. Brent Steiner, a resident at Cathy's home was able to peruse a photo album of past memories from her time at the Oar. We are sharing them on this page as we are sure Cathy would want. I remember most of the people in the photos, hopefully some of you survivors of that era can help fill in the blanks. Vaya con Dios Cathy.

Finally got a few more photos for PM's "Rites of Spring- Wrongs of the Revelers". Also gave it a B-12 shot soundtrack. You can download it from the Memories page of the site. http://www.oarhousebuffalochips.com/Pages/Oar%20Memories%20index.htm

Found this gem at the bottom of the archives cabinet after a threatening note from a neighbor accusing me of hoarding.

Spaghetti Tues. - the college students dream. Afraid to know how many tons of the stuff we dished out. It certainly enhanced the Buffalo Chips Cooks creative use of profanity especially around 9PM when the collegic sports teams would show up famished. The flyer - a Tony Bell doodle will kick off our Tony Bell tribute on the website. Anybody got an interesting ST story?..........I know the BC waitresses must have a memory or two.
