Greatest attribute- free burgers! Burgers were certainly better than the bimbos (Furburgers). However, I did F*** a few bimbos. Many were from Cr'a'nston or Johnston and spoke with a strong RI "ELMER FUDD" accent. Some had so much makeup on, one could caulk a houseful of windows with it! There was an A**h**e warwick cop who worked the door sometimes. I think his name was, Ed. I'm fairly certain that "Ed" is dead by now. I didn't frequent the establishment that often... I just happened to know one of the DJs.

I was in my 20's back then and it was a unique experience. I would definitely agree the crowd was mostly guidos and bimbos but it was fun getting drunk and dancing. The lights, the mirrors, the music, the Barry burgers were part of the experience.

Barry was the owner /boss and I believe he lived upstairs. The head cook was a really nice guy, only about 19 or 20 back then I think. He had a trans am, and I was so jealous. lol Vol Inn was famous -or infamous- for its buffet. The back of the dining room had a nice view of that little pond with the gazebo by it. One of the waitresses had the hots for me and let me know it late one night while I was helping her break down the buffet. Another time I got to work one sat afternoon and one of the waitresses had been fired or quit and she said that the place owed her some pay and they weren't giving it to her and she was really mad and screamed that her boyfriend was in the mob and something might happen if she didn't get her money. So of course, the whole shift everyone's talking about what they're gonna do or where they'll run to if someone comes in the place shooting. Was hilarious. ..aah the memories.. Never went to Barry's disco. I'm sure it was a hopping place.
