it was 1987 i believe or around that time. i was at a Private Party that was held upstairs. from what i was told the 2nd floor was called ” The Indian Lounge” A Hot Spot from the 1940s to the 60s . we Started out Having a few drinks at the Infamous RatSkeller bar before going up stairs to Party. after it ended we went back to the basement bar but after 10 minutes or so i forgot my jacket with my car keys was upstairs. i went upstairs where it was dark but found my coat. as i passed the Old wooden phone booth That was just outside the upper room i noticed a Man using the Phone. Not unusal except he was wearing a hat that looked like it was from the 1930s and the booth was kind of smokey so it was hard to see him. ( Smoking was allowed in 1988) Though the glass he asked me for a nickel but i had no change and he responded with a “Its ok” type nood. when i was going down stairs i found that i had change and turned around to give the man 5cts but he was gone. there is no way anyone could have left that fast. Still creeps me out to this day- Long time Dunellen Resident WC
I was there many times from 1986 to present. i remember a bartender named Eddie? he was in his 50 or 60s neatly groomed with a bow tie. im pretty sure he passed away in the 90s. i was there in 2019 when i was entering the small bathroom and saw him, or someone who looked like him?. normally due to the size of the room you enter but if someone is in there you go out and wait. i waited for 5 or 10 minutes before i went back in and the room was empty. Havent been back since. im going there for a Dunellen High School Reunion 1983 in June 2023 im not using the bathroom!
