A large group of Tugboat Grill and Pub lovers gathered Friday, to say goodbye to the long-time Steamboat Springs bar and restaurant in Ski Time Square. The developer has indicated it will be demolished sometime this month.
Larry Lamb and his wife, Becky, were there. He said Tugboat was named after his partner’s cat.
Jerry and Brian Thornton were there.
“I met my husband Brian here, 44 or 45 years ago and my daughter said, ‘You’ve go to go to the Tugboat!’ She said, ‘You know, I wouldn’t be, I wouldn’t have existed if you didn’t meet dad so you’ve got to go,’ so here we are.”
Mike Kortas built the fireplace in the Tugboat.
“In October of 1972, my buddy, Roger Olson and I built the fireplace in there and I spent many an afternoon and evening in here.”
T-Barr and his wife also attended, and lived in what he called the “Triangle,” also working in the building.
“Hey, I’m T-Barr. Been here since ’75. Living in the Triangle. Tugboat, Dos Amigos, Mattie Silks. Nothing like it. Party all night and all day long. It was fun.”
