  • There was a time in America when regular people would dress up in the finest attire simply to go out to dinner at their favorite restaurant. The evening would begin with drinks in the cocktail lounge, followed by dinner in the dining room, and would often include live music and dancing.
    Back in the 1960s, America was prospering. People took pride in their appearance and enjoyed going out on the town not in sweatpants and pajamas, but in their finest clothes. Men wore suits and ties, and women wore dresses and heels.
    People knew how to socialize and enjoyed mingling with others. Conversation was an art form, and people actually listened to what one another had to say.
    Please enjoy this video of Americans out on the town in the 1960s.

    This was the American generation that as youngsters grew up during the Great Depression, went straight into a horrific World War and Korean "police action" that was none of their doing to finally have some peace of mind and stability in their lives.
    Good for them. Dressing up, attending a real pleasant club. About time they enjoyed life. Same-same for their trips to Las Vegas. Cocktail dresses, fine suits and first class entertainment. Continued building a great nation which we all inherited.
    RIP. Now let's hope we current Americans don't waste all your efforts.

    Two things stand out in my memory of restaurants and cocktail lounges in the land of long ago. The first was how people really did make a point of dressing up. Smart cocktail dresses or similar for the ladies, and suits for the men. The other thing I remember, that was not mentioned in your vid but was ubiquitous back then, was the thick cloud of cigarette smoke that was everywhere. Back then most people smoked. And they smoked like chimneys. Sometimes the smoke was so thick it was hard to see the other end of the bar.

    In the 40s-80s there weren't many
    casual eating' restaurants available. When eating out you dressed up and went to a first-class restaurant for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Special occasions. In Chicago there was Mr Kelly's, Chaz Paree, Top of the Rock, Don the Beachcomber, Fritzels, Blackhawk. You wouldn't be seated looking like you ran all the way there. The father of a grade school classmate was the bartender at the Camilla Room of the Drake Hotel. If a celebrity arrived in town, they would either be found at the Pump Room or at the Drake. He met hundreds of celebrities coming through Chicago or playing in the room, such as Jimmy Durante.

    Most families, even those with money, never went out to eat in the 1960s. You were more likely to have household help than take your family to restaurants. And if you did, you prepared for the night out ahead of time. Clothes, hairdressers, babysitters etc. This video shows mostly nightclubs and dance hall/vacation type places. Many signs outside restaurants emphasised Fine Dining. A sign you don't see often now. The whole concept has changed.

    I am not an American, and I was a youngster still at school in the 60s, but I do not think these photos are real or reflect a true image of 1960s dinner and drinks. To my mind these are publicity/advertising photos for the various establishments. Everything is so orderly, neat and clean, and really, and who would have taken these very professional wide-angle colour photos? There is no one smoking, and there would have been a multitude of smokers. The vid would have been far more interesting if real photos had been used (if they exist).

      Hi Greg - I appreciate you taking the time to post the correction. I questioned that spelling myself when I originally found the photo, so dug down a little further to verify. In the 60s, this resort was called 'The Granit Hotel & Country Club,' strangely spelled without an 'e.' [Here's a link to the Library of Congress website with a photo of the Granit's billboard: www.loc.gov/item/2017710817/ ] Since then the resort had been run under the name, 'The Hudson Valley Resort and Spa,' which was shut down in 2018. I couldn't find any information on the strange spelling - and it doesn't help that the resort address is on Granite Road (spelled with an 'e.') That ballroom looks like it would have been an amazing room to perform in - especially if it still had that '60s styling.

    Wow isn't it interesting how people back then just did what they did not realizing they were living in the best times for respect towards others that was if you were white as there was terrible civil unrest in many parts of the Country at the time . But also noticed how slim people looked then also before all the super size advertising started . I was a kid on the 60s and my parents my brother and I drove across the Country on a new 1965 Oldsmobile vista cruiser station wagon and it was an awesome experience I will never forget . The eateries we stopped at were beautiful and clean . A truly wonderful time but for the white population as the black population didn't have it so good .

    I imagine most of these photos were staged in an effort to sell a "lifestyle"... just like advertising has always done.

      I agree, most of these seem from post cards, catalogs and magazines.

    Waitresses should be half naked
    Dalmatians are allowed
    Apart from that is totally and utterly white? It could be South Africa in the 1960s.

    What about the cigarette smoke in every restaurant, government buildings, public transport, and even hospitals and airlines when the arrogance of smokers never even asked if you minded, or if they did it was already lit.

    In the 60s & 70s, heck even the 80s & 90s, we didn't go out for an "experience". We didn't go to a lounge or club for an "experience". If we went somewhere for a meal, we went out to eat. If it was on Friday or Saturday, we got dressed nicer because it'd be a much better restaurant, i.e. steakhouse and such. If we went to a bar, it was for a drink and/or to meet friends for a drink. If we went to a club/lounge, it was to dance, listen to music, and have a drink or something. We didn't go out for "experiences"!! Why does today's generation have to make literally everything an "experience"?? "My shopping experience" "our dining experience" "a disney experience" "my movie-going experience" Dang!! I guess you millennials say stuff like "my pooping experience" "our sexual experience" "my video watching experience" Hearing the word "experience" these days, is just as bad as hearing "partner"!! Both words sound like vomit when spoken/used by people these days.

    Nobody dresses up and everybody looks tacky, crude, unkempt and low class today! Very sad and a tragic commentary on today's society. Some of these pictures are certainly from the late 1950's.

    It was a beautiful and cultured civilization. A nation where faith, respect and prosperity flourished.
    But today they lost everything.
    What happened to them? How they accepted to be deceived in this silly and sinister way.
    They abandoned God, their ideals and their love for truth and freedom.
    They were the best.
