In all honesty I never even heard about this or even knew about it's existence except for Chuck E Cheese's but that was back in 1992 but it sure seems like a swell place to visit and even unwind! ☺️

This is a very well made video. Thanks. There was also an Archie's chain of restaurants based on the Archie comics. I always wanted to go.

I 100% remember these places! I am a a few years younger than you (3 or 4?), but I went in '89 for my 5th birthday. I remember it had a HUGE building though compared to Chuck E. Cheese; this is awesome nostalgia, thank you for making this! I went to the Northridge and Upland locations. What are the odds we might have been there at the same time as kids? I'm sure it's not that unlikely to be honest.

Hey maybe we were there at the same time. Or at least Chuck E Cheese on Northridge. I went to both often. I had my birthday at Bullwinkle’s in probably 1987.

Thank you for this video! I never had the chance to visit one myself and I was having great difficulty finding information about this chain online!

You’re welcome. There is definitely a lack of information about this beloved restaurant! Glad you found it useful. 😀

@@MisterrListersLounge the one with the red checked picnic tables. I posted some comparison pics of my 2nd birthday party and 7th birthday party at the Calgary Alberta Location. For my 2nd birthday, it was Bullwinkle’s. By my 7th birthday, the location had turned into a Chuck E Cheese. And I was showing the comparison of the building. It was Bullwinkle’s 1984-1991, and then Chuck R Cheese 1991-1995. Then it became a sports bar called Schanks!

I grew up in San Jose and went to the original flagship a few times in the early 90s. Sadly it closed in 97 or 98 and it's been a dialysis center since then. Meanwhile, i now live about an hour from the last Bullwinkle animatronics in tukwila Washington. It's just rocky and Bullwinkle, and they're not in the best shape, but it's something. It's nothing like the huge expansive original though.

It is a dialysis facility now but it was MMM Carpet in the 70s and then as made into Bullinkles. Then became The Avalon, a concert venue for a while and changed hands once had another name I cant remember. I saw Ronnie Montrose there less then a year before he died. I also saw a couple 80s bands play there. I no longer live in Santa Clara area but dam it was fun working there.

Wow! I was there not too long and it was still standing. I lived a couple blocks from there so it’s kinda shocking. Sad .

Since UnderDog and Polly were at the restaurant was Tennesse Tuxedo and Chumly at the restaurant too?

They had a stage in Boomers! In Medford New York and mrytle beach the Northwood or fans call it the town sgage in 1999 Year Closed: 2001 (Converted to Boomers) Year Closed as Boomers: 2019 Stage Setup: Northwoods. Notes: This location is notable for having the Northwoods stage but with the buildings rearranged in the opposite order, as well as not having a Fantasy Fountain Show. This location closed as a Bullwinkle's in 2001, and was converted into a Boomers while keeping the animatronic show. In 2019, the restaurant closed and sat abandoned until 2021 when the animatronics were sold to collectors. The Myrtle beach location June 8) Year Closed: 2001 (Converted to Boomers) Year Closed as Boomers: 2007 Stage Setup: Northwoods. Notes: This location is notable for having the same building facade order as the Cary location, but with a grid of televisions instead of a singular large screen. This location became a Boomers and eventually closed in 2007.
