_____I say all are gone because I think the owner of the "Achung Bay Marina" probably angeredenough of his neighbors that he went out of business. "Barney's Beach Hut" was destroyed by a typhoon (I've asked the "Pacific Daily News" - theGuam Newspaper - for information on this.).
_____"The Trench Room" was the Officer's Club on the Naval Air Station, Agana, Guam (NASAgana). This fine club was put out of business when the US Armed Forces were gutted in themid 1990s; the "Trench Room" was shut down when NAS Agana was "dis-established".
_____Around 1992, flush with the joy of posting to my first BBS (Bulletin Board System), I wrote thebartenders at both Barney's and the Trench Room for recipes. The bartenders sent me theserecipes. I don't know where they got them from and strongly suspect they evolved in the traditionof read a recipe and change it to suit your customers. While I like these drinks, I haven't madethem (either of them) since 1989 due to the cost (both financial and metabolic!).
"Long Island Ice Teas” (two recipes): These are stealth drinks by the way!

In the Achung Bay Marina recipe, you have your choice of either Scotch or Cuicoa!
I forgot to mention! When I wrote those bar tenders, I seem to recall getting their permission to reprint their recipies. (I think...)

Barneys Beach Hut!
I loved that little spot. Great steaks and the bucket right on the beach.
I was there on Guam from 82 - 85 and stationed on the Proteus and then NAS Agana in the comms center.
Going back for a visit in a month and jsut googled Barneys and found your blog entry Mike. TU
