Madame Wongs - either venue - was known first and foremost by my group of underage hooligans as a place you would get served liquor - and usually not get carded if you made it past the front door.

I went there for that purpose initially, later to see friends perform in a band situation. I went to Madame Wongs in '79 for my initial visit when I got my first driver's license. And let me tell you, Madame Wong up close in person was pretty scary/freaky in those days. She usually made the rounds and talked with us. Don't remember anything Poly-Pop, just Chinese kitsch...and strong drinks.
