Campustown Bars: Where Should CW & Blum Go?

[JP4CY]

Wallaby’s is the only place I can remember being out that way, but I think maybe there was another place I never went to.

I assumed Cafe B is what used to be Grubsteak back in the ancient days when I was in school. I did go in the Cafe B version once when one of my sons was working in Ames over the summer and we were looking to watch soccer on TV. The guys would fit right in with that crowd.

There was some kind of sort of creepy disco place in the 1980’s that I went to once when friends wanted to go. I think maybe that is where AJ’s is now. It was in the vicinity of the convenience store at Welch and Chamberlain that was a 7-11 in my day, a Kum & Go now I think. The football team lived in Towers and the 7-11 cashiers frequently just let them take stuff without paying.

Next to Cafe B was a falafel and gyro place. As a sheltered Iowan, the food that the nice lady in there made blew me away.

Also found this. They have a picture of what it looked like in there. Man... I would love some chilli right now.

BWW opened spring 2011. WCW (f/k/a Wings To Go) might have made it to 2012.

Gotchya. From what I remember the wings were solid for sure.
