Bubba Mac Shack Bites the Dust
Bubba Mac Shack Bites the Dust
The Somers Point Bubba Mac Shack was torn down on January 2, 2009.
Gone but not forgotten, the classic nightclub, which went by the names Harbor Lights, Markers and Cheers, will be forever remembered as the Bubba Mac Shack, where for eight years they featured good barbeque, nice drinks and great blues. The music was the thing, and Herb "Bubba" built a custom stage in the back where they put on some of the best shows since Tony Marts and Bayshores.
Here's a sample: Jacque Major one Sunday afternoon.
Thanks to John G. and JD for sharing this.
