Glad you like it, but that makes me sad.

I used to play beer pong there and would go there more often than I should probably admit when it was Dean's List...

Is this The Zone on Main St. or was there one in campus town?

Yes, but could it hold a candle to Hunky Dory's?

The Zone was downtown, not campustown ... upstairs above the pool place, not sure if its still around

Tassles is now Sips ... I think that used to be the Cavein or something like that.

Es Tas is great, whenver we're in town after a game we hit it first for Jagerbombs, later for more jagerbombs and at the end of the night for some food.

The Zone is a fun place. Can't beat penny pitchers.

Oh yea, that's what the bar above Corner Pocket is called. That's still there.

The Zone is gone, now there's a new place, I think its called the Tap House. It just opened in recent months.

Really? I guess everyone just still calls it the Zone then. I'm not much of a bar-goer, so I'm not really sure.

No kidding. They absolutely ruined Cys and L&F with the remodel. Those places were great bars, then the (new?) owners tried to remodel and they lost all of their atmosphere. And to top that, they haven't kept the places up and now they are more run-down than before the remodel.

The Zone is now DG's Taphouse. They have 50+ microbrews on tap and have bands on the weekend. Not a bad place...definitely an improvement from the penny pitcher days.

I thought Pappa Lou's was going to be names Lou's Corner or Lou's On The Corner or something like that? They were supposed to be open for holiday parties and then open to the public by new year's. Guess not. I also heard that they were going to put a jazz/blues bar downstairs in the old Lumpy's.

I'm not a big fan of any bar with the name "Pappa" in it. Smithson ruined that... A blues/jazz bar in a college town? That's interesting...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's the correct order. Located on Chamberlain between Welch and Hayward.

It was also known as the Coloseum back in the early 90's.

It was also Shamrock's for two years.

This location has the best set up for a bar in campus town. Big, dance floor, large area for games, booths, 3 bars. It seems to have been a pretty successful location except for Reign.
