Got some bars to bring up...One was about halfway to Septs(thereabouts),but across the street.Probably closer to post,actually.Real good food,panini's and such,but always had a decent crowd.Another was about 15-20 buildings BEFORE Septs,on the right(same side);fairly dark..I liked it.Decent food.And finally,the one directly across the train station.I remember the owner,Paulo and his wife.He had blond hair;very friendly.Anyone remember the names??I know Georgio sold Septs at some point.I wonder what he's up to?[ ][][][82nd][E6][uswingsr][infantry][scout]

The one before Septembers was I think Johnnys, Johnny died in 96 the bar turned into an arcade. ABNFDC is right about the one just down from main gate on the left side of the road, there was Walts bar too remember take a right at Septembers and about a mile or so up the road, Walts became an art gallery I read.

OK-what a rush this is!!The bar I remember as "Johnny's" on the way to Septs.The bar on the RIGHT of Septs,heading back on the right side of the ^,had a beer menu and competition.Those big "Oil Cans"(Foster's,etc..).To get your name on the board,you had to drink like 6 of these things in an hour.Ah shit,I just can't remember...[82nd][E6][uswingsr][infantry][scout]

When I was there, one of them was named Time Out. It was about halfway to Sept's, on the far side of the street. I definitely remember the one directly across from the train station. They had a big outdoor patio area, right next to the cross-walk that would take you from the bar to the station. There was also the Piano Bar, which I never really went to much.
When I was in Italy, there was also Messina Burger, which was almost right across the street from Sept's.
Sept's was definitely the place to go, however. I could draw a diagram of the layout inside....pathetic.

Ray-the way I remember Septs was 2 entrance ways.One,immediately on your right if your walking from post.The Main entrance was at the apex of the ^.If you came in the side entrance,you would be looking directly at the bar.To the right was the larger booths..go past that,and you had a second room with booths.What a place!![drunk][drunk][drunk][82nd][E6][uswingsr][infantry][scout]

That's exactly how it was. The second room had a foosball table near the back wall, and the drop zone was through a small door on the wall next to that. There was a tiny closet-sized space with a sink, a mirror, and a light. If you were facing the sink, there was another door immediately to the right, and this is where the dz was. Of course, it could only handle one occupant at a time, so that sink got pissed in more times than than a trench pit.
On the walls over the booths, there were various military pics and such (they knew their clientele...) In the first room, 3rd booth down, there was a mirror with the 3/325 crest on it. Nobody ever dared take it.
As I recall, if you left the bar by exiting through the door on the apex of the ^, and went straight, you'd come to a Y intersection. Hang a left, and you'd go over a bridge that had the canal/river beneath it.
