I used to live 3 blocks from there & drank up & down Whyte Ave. during the early to mid 80's & have no recollection of a tavern of any consequence on that corner & I thought I was very thorough in my drinking.
I do remember an International Stereo outlet, not even sure that chain exists anymore, on that corner where the strip mall is now.
All those bars were like that back then, not just Barry T’s. Goose Loonies only id’d guys, never the girls. Same with Rock City.Remember Barry T's? AKA Barely Teens.
Rock city and the limelight , the sunday night party bars in the 80's redroom convention inn south (now Delta ) in the basement back side was always full , cops had it shut down . Only other bar shutdown by cops was Windmill in millwods .

The Regency was a peeler bar in that hotel back in the 80’s. I saw Marilyn Chambers dance there and was turned off when she told the crowd she was 36. No old ladies for me, lol.The bar that used to be at the Kings College location was the Capilano Motor Inn. I remember it well...that was the establishment where I had my first underage beer.
We were there a lot for a few years. Got there one time early enough to see the staff turn the terry cloth table cloths over so they looked cleaner.
As for the pub on 75th and Argyll...IIRC that might have been the Regency.
