Fokos (not Focus) was a Long Island Disco where all the great dancers went. I wasn't bad but I remember being impressed.
Sunday night was ladies night. Fokos was located where the old Island Garden used to be and where the New York Nets of the ABA played basketball.

I went during the mid 80s with boy Rich Z and friends...we Djd some smaller clubs back then like Wimbeltons Carringstons Summertimes etc...This was a great place and if you got the VIP card you didnt get proofed. I was of the generation that was 18 when they changed it to 19 and 19 when they changed it to 21...still made my way to Focos, Speaks, Caringtons , 231, Paddy McGees, Wimbeltons, Chevys and OBIs

FOKOS was the HOTTEST club in the 70's, Frank was the owner, it didn't get young until the last couple of years it was open. Fokos started having teen nights because other clubs opened and people started going to them. Fokos was hot! The best disco music, best times.
