Wow. I had no idea the Coach has been around that long!
What I wouldn't give to see that building with all the paint stripped off of it, flags in every holder, and all the upper windows opened up!
Thanks Andrew!
That's amazing. I knew the Coach had been around for a long time, but from what I gathered it had been a shit hole like it is now for a very long time. I have seen tons of bands there and played there many times in the 90's/2000's, and even though it's beat up and has seen better days, when you go down there you can tell it was once a very attractive looking place. I haven't been there in a while, but there is a grandfather clock in there that has been there for AGES, that my last band used as the basis of our album cover, very cool stuff. I would LOVE to see a few inside photos of the place from this same era.
I love that old building... Hope someone cleans her up!
Is it still open ? I see a flyer on each door but tried to zoom in & it's to blurry. I imagine it is like most other businesses downtown and is closed. Thanks !!!
it is very much still open and it and the other 3 bars in that building are the best ones in town! Downtown's got a lot to offer!
The Coach is still open and is home ground for many of Windsors local bands. It may be in a bit of rough shape but you can sense the history and its still my favorite place to play.
What was this building before it was the Coach and Horses? It looks rather old. Was it a buisiness of some sort?
the bigger bar that the coach is located in was once Baum &brodies furniture store
the building that the coach and the other bar on the main floor was Baum &Brodies furniture store back in the 50"s
I believe that it was originally a furniture store, though I am not 100% certain.
