Does anyone know what bar/roadhouse this was?
David Bagsby via email: "The bar location in question was a derelict building
at the Stockyard exit off East 244. Lot of truck stops there now. I think
it may be torn down."
Bryan Crain said via email: "The white building stood at 161st
East Avenue and Admiral. It was torn down about 7 or years ago. A micro-motel
(hotel?) and a Burger King were built on the land where it once stood.

I lived in the Mystery Bar back in 1965-1967. It was known as the "Rose Dew
Egg Farm". In its day, it was a very nice house.
Look at the second story and the last window to the far right. That is where
the bedroom scene was filmed. That was my bedroom. There were 4 bedrooms
upstairs and the house had a full basement with a coal chute for the coal
burning furnace.
It set on about 10 acres and there was a pear orchard on the land and two
barns. It had a 2-car detached (block, like the house) garage.
I had a roommate when the movie was filmed. He had lived in the other house
in the movie (across from the fight scene) We thought it was pretty ironic
that both our houses had been used in the movie.

My wife, Lynne, lived in a house right behind the "Egg Farm House". She said
her parents were upset when the egg house was being converted into a bar,
because they thought that a real bar was going in. Of course they soon learned
it was for a movie and everything was fine then.
Lynne got to hop her fence and watch them shoot the scenes.
Pretty cool! |
