Taylor's Supper Club

Taylor's Supper Club was a hot spot on West Colfax Avenue, known for great food and live entertainment. Established in the 1950's by Sam Toole, they hosted many different entertainers from around the country, including The Lettermen, Kay Ballard and Chet Atkins. This is a collection of short films of the very popular house band favorites,"The Taylor's," starring Buddy Greene, Kenny Smith and Frankie Burg. Enjoy! (courtesy Scott Greene)



The Taylors Supper Club building is still there at 7000 W. Colfax as the Lakewood Endoscopy Center.

  3. I have a photo that was taken of a band performing at Taylor's Supper Club years ago. My maternal grandmother Gerry used to work there. I would be happy to share it with anyone, especially if someone could tell me who the gentlemen performing are.

  8. I was so glad to see a recent post. After my Dad passed away, I was going through his things and ran across a vinyl called "Showtime Taylors." The album cover is signed by Buddy Greene, Kenny Smith and Frankie Burg. I would love to know how old it is.

  11. I was a dishwasher at Taylor's 1974- 1975. Met Rosemary Clooney and other stars. Best job for a 15 year old, I could imagine!
