The Point

The Brew House or more commonly known as The Point was a bar in Germantown that we frequented when we lived there in the 70's. It was one of the few bars in the neighborhood that we would hang out in. I would go there a lot when I was visiting the neighborhood while home on leave from the Navy. It was a place where I was sure I'd run into people. Then in 1974 when I was living on Seymour Street it was easy to stop by and hang out.

The Point was a lot of fun. There was a glass cabinet full of six packs of beer for sale right in the front as you walked in. Then there was the long bar that looped around on both sides of the room. There were some booths on the side as you went in and then a jukebox which was always playing music. Then at the back on the entrance side was a shuffle bowl game which we played all the time. Beyond that was a pool table and then more booths along the other side of the bar. The restrooms were just beyond that. I remember every foot of that place and can visualize it completely.

We played a lot of shuffle bowl there. 

The picture here shows the location and the building now. It hasn't been a bar for many years.
