Does anybody remember the Kramers beer garden on Irving? It was quite a hangout while going to UD. It was a great place to meet, drink and have good time.

It "was"? It still is. Unless you mean that they had an entirely different format years ago or something. Last I drove by, Kramer's was still in operation and is still pretty popular.
I went there quite a bit during college in the 70s.

Sorry. This is referring to the Kramer's on Linden and Coping..
It's close neighbors to the west the Double Play and the Dugout, also popular 60s and 70s clubs are gone though..

"Double Play and the Dugout"
Where were these places, exactly? I was around there in the mid 70s and I do not remember either one.

Sorry. This is referring to the Linden Ave. Kramer's
The Dugout was about 1/2 block west of Livingston Ave. on Linden in a white building that resembles a baseball dugout, still there. The Double Play was at the top of Lorain Ave on the south side.
I hope I don't have these flip-flopped, but it's possible. I lived on Lorain as a young boy and I recall both, but I may have them turned around. Seems I used to think that the Double-Play should've been named the Dugout on appearance alone. I'm so confused. Someone will know and point it out here..

I think the confusion here, is that there was/is a Kramer's on Linden near Lorain. The Kramer's most
of this thread is referencing is the Kramer's on Irving
by UD.

Kramers on Irving! Is it still there? We lived a few blocks away on Schantz Ave and we could walk there in five minutes. Sometimes with an east wind we could smell the stale beer wafting off the floor of the patio!

^ Still there as of early 2012.
I think it's cleaner than it was in the 1970s, to be truthful. Like the rest of the UD student area.
