Black Buoy

Man, the Black Buoy was the greatest Sag Harbor bar of all time. I started drinking there in the early 70's. It was owned by a Jim and Rose Black. Nobody had any money in those days, so beer was the drink of choice. $2.25 for a large pitcher. Two pitchers would usually get you fucked up, so for five bucks a night I could get a good head. Grass was cheap too. About 25 bucks an ounce. You could also score hash, magic mushrooms, or acid if you liked. Thankfully coke, meth, heroin and that other garbage wasn't popular and not available, in Sag Harbor at least! Man, there was no Sag Harbor police force so to speak of in those days, so you could drive home drunk and nobody gave a shit. The cops weren't pressured by the county into starting stop DWI patrols until the early 80's. Man, I hit this joint at least a 1000 times so I'll post some of my experiences there!
