Opening night was [[August 1116]], [[1967]]. An early writeup of the club described the scene:
<blockquote><p>In Rosie's, you find old timey silent films with such stars as Charlie Chaplin and W. C. Fields. You'll find the twangy, happy sound of banjos.</p><p>And sing-alongs. The words are flashed on a screen and when the banjos begin plucking away, it'll take a real music hater to keep from singing along with those nostalgic melodies!</p><p>But most of all there's the great sound of Dixieland music. And what music!</p><p>"This music makes me go," says a college gal when the Dixie Racing & Marching Society Band opens up. "Something happens inside — and whammo!"<ref>"Rosie O'Grady's: Step Back Down Memory Lane." ''Pensacola News-Journal'', October 1, 1967.</ref></p></blockquote>
