Bullwinkles is open from Wednes day through Saturday until 4 a.m The cover charee is generally $2 i Nightlife person, and drinks are mostly $1.25 to Si SO. There does not appear to be any dress code and simple snacks are available. T's Zodiac, 425 Nicholson Rd. in Gloucester, N.

will present Ensconced behind the two indoor, oblong bars, bartenders work fast furiously. Drinking at Bullwinkles cannot be considered art. Some of the bottles on the shelves are of dubious pedigree and the free-form mixology doesn't help much. Another less-than-endearing aspect of the club is its noise level; Bullwinkles is simply one of the loudest clubs around. It's not so much the sound system, which has been improved since a visit in 1976.

It's a combined effort by all concerned: band, patrons, and employes. Bullwinkles is a supermarket of sound, lights, drinks and dance for those who have plenty of steam to let off. The club is drawing a lot of long-distance travelers and it has the size, budget and format to keep Squeeze from Wednesday through Saturday Certified Gold will open for live nights at unerry 2Mb Bristol Pike in Cornwells Heights, Pa starting Wednesday dick Lees Route 130 South in Bellmawr.

Driving to Bullwinkles from Philadelphia or Camden can be quite an endurance test. The needle on your fuel gauge will undoubtedly joust with the red line and your neck will cry out for a friendly massage. If you don't have a friendly soul in your car to soothe your neck, put on your longest tape and grit your teeth.

After you have raced by the burger havens of college-dominated Glassboro and gone another four or five miles, you may think that you've passed the place. But keep on driving. Just at the instant that you want to turn back thinking that the trip has turned out to be an unplanned safari through Jersey devil country you'll see the sign. You can't miss it, because it is a fully lit highway billboard. It'll direct you across the railroad tracks and up the road to Bullwinkles.

Getting inside Bullwinkles, as it turns out, is considerably easier than getting to it. No one appears the least bit interested in either your age or your tailoring. You hand the man two bucks, walk through the arch and blink your eyes to adjust to the dimly lit, sizable club with two bars and table seating for several hundred. and the Hearts will appear at Ca hoots, Route 363 and King of Prussia starting Monday evening. On cold and rainy evenings, the club will be overflowing with patrons.

On warm, balmy, spring or summer nights, the real partying goes on outdoors. Bullwinkles is one of the few clubs in all of New Jersey that adds a touch of nature to the normally indoors sport of bing. Large, sliding-glass doors lead to an outdoor area, where a third bar stands boldly in the middle of the garden. About 100 feet away, a fence separates the club from the banks of a lake. In windy weather, the lake is choppy and the air makes for a stimulating counterpart to any alcoholic elixirs consumed.

On quiet, moonlit evenings, the atmosphere is more relaxed and romance blooms everywhere In the summer, patrons come equipped with beachwear and frolic from bar to dance floor, from dance floor to garden, and from garden to water. Bullwinkle's crowd is a young one; it would be safe to say that all but 2 percent fall into the 18-25 bracket. For the most part they are well mannered, although now and then a somewhat out-of-sorts type will garner attention by hooting at the band-stage or delivering a bit of self-serving soapbox oratory toward a desired partner.
