Check Out The Driskill's Sweet-Ass 70's Disco Bar

When one thinks of the historic Driskill Hotel on Sixth Street, one thinks of classic Texan charm. Old money. Southern class. A-list political events.

One does not especially think of John Travolta imposters and polyester, but that's exactly what was going down at the hotel during the 1970's, when the Victorian Room was a disco club called Scandals. Enlarge the photo at right to electric slide your eyes over their offerings: "specialty libations," an "excellent array of meats" and at least one incredible moustache.
