Favorite Bar in Campus town?

[ThurgoodMarshal]

Tork's Pub, Razzbar, Dugan's

OP did not specify era.

What era was that?

Sounds like late '70s...I remember my parents talking about a couple of those places. Wasn't Dugan's a deli, though?

Thumbs was always my favorite even though it would be on the outskirts of what's considered campus town. Can't argue with 75 cent gin and tonics on Thursday nights...if they're even doing that anymore..

I have to do back in my day, haven't been to campus town bars in a few years.

Lumpy's $0.25 FAC draws with flippy cup on the high tables.
Mickey's $0.50 draws that lastest either an hour or two longer than Lumpy's then they often had 2 for 1 shots in the basement.

I was a Friday regular at both of those.

Welch was great for relaxing and talking with friends, also watching games.

In the summer all the bars were great specials, especially during the week. They had 4 for 1 specials some days. Summer was drunken, to say the least.

Might as well include the downtown bars and Thumbs, too.

No, the place next door did, I think. What was it called? It was something like "________ Drinking Academy."

It was Capone's. That was driving me crazy.

Paddy's

My buddies go there way to often so they've got a good setup with the bartenders. They will usually buy about $40 worth of drinks but only be charged $10.

Is The Lost and Found Lounge still around? It was upstairs from Cy's Roost in the early-mid 90's. Welch Ave and L&FL were my two favorites. $2 pitchers at Welch on Thursday nights and then on to Broomball was the best!

Yep Lost and Found Lounge is still in the upstairs of Cy's!

Favorite bars while living in Ames: WAS, Cafe Baudelaire, Whiskey River, Corner Pocket, then Thumbs.

Now: switch Cafe B and Whiskey River and the rest is the same order.

Do they still have that deathtrap of a staircase leading down to the restrooms?

Is Outlaws still around? Definitely not my type of spot, but haven't heard it mentioned.

It was a few years ago. I puked in their toilet after doing a shot of jim, a shot of jack, and a shot of jose with a beer chaser.
