Paddy's remodel

Are you talking about the same place? If you can get a drink at Yokes in under a half hour without being female, good for you.
Yeah, Cys used to be nice. It wasn't fancy by any means but it had character. Then they remodeled and moved the bar and removed the booths. And that remodel lasted about a year before it was trashed. Last time I was there it was sort of a dance club, which is about as anti Cys as you could get. Now it's a ********. IMO losing People's and the old Cys was a major hit to campustown. Of course I would qualify as an old guy now, so I probably don't know anything about these matters.
100% agree. It was kind of like a Tip/Top of Campustown.
First night they reopened, I was pretty close to first in line then walked in and was like WTF is this? Turrible remodel.
Campustown really needs a bar that is decked floor to ceiling with Cyclone Memorabilia. Get on it Cydude.
Completely agree. Nobody has FAC anymore, and I've asked around to other bars who said it all ended when Peoples closed. There used to be a line at Peoples and other places by 5 on Fridays. I've recently walked into some Campustown bars on a Friday around 4pm, being the only one in the bar. Shameful.
This is wrong.
Welch Ave $4 pitchers of PBR, Es Tas tons of shot specials on top of their usual beer specials, Paddy's is open pretty sure but I never went to that, Cy's has free Papa John's, Cafe B doing their usual thing. All open for FAC. Can't forget Mother's or Thumb's either.
It only sucks if you allow it to suck lol...
Get hammered and you don't notice so much stuff wrong.
This is pretty much spot on. It's the standard for when you think of a college bar, pretty much. I think I've just gotten washed out on Yokes.
I've never been much of a regular at Cy's so I can't attest to that.
This summer it's been Es Tas, AJ's, Mother's. Welch Ave on pint night. Occasionally Mickey's on Tuesdays for the Karaoke deals or mug night.
I do go to Yoke's a fair amount of the time just because my friends are there, but the environment has started to lose its draw for me because I went there a lot during the school year.
So, I always hear people talking about Aj's. Every time I go there, the place is empty, yet that seems to be the place to go if people don't go to Yokes...
Strange.
Generally people go there earlier in the night to essentially pregame Yokes, at least that's what a lot of my friends typically do. It's super cheap. The patio has been a really nice addition this summer as well.
