After 42 years as that oddball, free-wheeling spot on the Strip in Tuscaloosa, Egan's will soon become Unique.
Literally named Unique, that is, under new ownership; not the definition of unique, "the only one of its kind," or as it's often used, to mean special, different or interesting. For the Egan's family, it's long been that.
Unique is the moniker new owners Chris Coleman and Mac Maddox have chosen for the venerable venue at the corner of University Boulevard and Red Drew Avenue.
Patrons over 42 years of Egan's Bar saw it as a home-away-from-domicile, one that proudly boasted over its front door "Thick Smoke, Dim Lights and Loud Music." While the old Chukker existed downtown — it closed Halloween 2003 — Egan's was a sort of adjunct open-minded bar, a place that stood out in the midst of student-oriented or themed bars as a grand dive, one beating with a big, warm heart.
