The Thirsty Whale

The Thirsty Whale, which was opened in 1981, was a legendary rock and roll club at 8800 Grand Avenue, River Grove, Illinois. It brought in acts like Molly Hatchet, Black Oak Arkansas, Extreme, Foghat, Johnny Winter and Peter Criss. The club closed its doors on June 2, 1996, and was demolished to make way for a gas station and fast food restaurant.
