Castaways

It appears in the earliest national bar guides located by researchers, indicating it operated at least as early as 1961, and a 1969 guide praised it as one of the city's most fashionable spots for dancing. After several years at its McKinley Avenue address, the bar relocated to South 2nd Street in late 1970 and was renamed Castaways South. It is distinct from the later Clay's Castaways, which opened around 1984.
