Drinking holes at Bragg/Fayettville
When I was at Bragg there were some fairly upstanding bars in town during the 80's. Ricks, Flaming Mug, Bottoms Up, and let's not forget the Bragg Motel off Bragg Blvd. The women seemed awfully nice if you had a $20 bill in your pocket. 
What's still standing today ??

8-Deuce,
OPSEC!!! PERSEC!!! - and violations of the 5th Amendment are all housed in this question. Shame on you - Nobody on this board ever frequented the Mug, Rick's, or BUp, and the Bragg Motel, for shame! 
Beat your face, Airborne!
Although I think I remember a Foghat concert at the Mug.... And didn't Pat Benatar used to play there a bunch? (oops, see 1st line above)

Foghat ?? God we are getting old. YES !! Pat Benatar played at the Mug a couple of times during my stay at Bragg.
This thread could get interesting. Of course I have no knowledge of any events aleged at any of the above listed establishments. (thanks TR for that)

Council,
Would you be referring to private individual ownership (White Whiskey) or those that actually manufacturer, market, distill, and sell their whiskey and bourbon ?? As for Makers, do not take a tour of their facility, you will not find your car or your key's afterwords.
As to individual ownership of such distillery's , again I have no knowledge of any aleged whiskey making. However, if you are seeking a bourbon that is highly flammable, and can be used as malatav cocktails, there could be a place I know of.
Remember, those corn fields are not only for the produce at the Kentucky Krogers or Miers.

I have never had the opportunity to sample "white whiskey," but certainly would take advantage of the opportunity were it to present itself.
I intend to vacation in Kentucky at some point . . .

Counselor, you should have mentioned that when you came to Bragg.
We could have hooked you up with some.

I saw Molly Hatchet at the Mug too. I was the pitcher drinkin' champ there for like ever - 5...9...10 wee..mon...I can't really remember.
Used to hang with Bill at the Bottoms Up - great pool games there.
King's Palace was really good too. Ice cold Bud longnecks for .75

I never remembered any pool playing at the Bottoms Up. What I do remember was being served cheap, stale pipe beer in plastic mugs and the ever so nice ladies that served them. Their outfits were worthy of the red carpet.
NDD,
What was the name of the club next doors to the Flaming Mug ?? I seem to remember spending some time there also.
