So many places back in the day had buck burgers. I know Paddys, Peoples, and Diamond Daves did too.Welch Ave Station is about the only bar on Welch I enjoy anymore and I'm usually going there before a BB game so it's not like I'm going when Welch bars are the busiest. Whiskey River on Main is probably my other favorite at the moment too. Mickeys and Cy's Roost I can tolerate but have no desire to go into Paddys or Sips anymore.
The original Cy's Roost before they renovated it after they lost their liquor license in the early 2000's was better IMO. Had a kitchen right inside the door and $1 burger night on Weds with beer specials usually had a line out the door.
Where was the place that had the dollar chili night (circa 2004)? I feel like it was by the west Hyvee but I could be wrong. I have no clue what is even over there now as I don't get to that part of town when I am in Ames anymore.So many places back in the day had buck burgers.

This has me stumped. Could it have been Wallabys?Where was the place that had the dollar chili night (circa 2004)? I feel like it was by the west Hyvee but I could be wrong. I have no clue what is even over there now as I don't get to that part of town when I am in Ames anymore.
No. It was in that strip mall or it used to be a strip mall to the east of that hyvee. They had a big projector they put games on. We used to go there once and a while for dollar chilli and watch MACtion on Tuesdays. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.This has me stumped. Could it have been Wallabys?
I was only there for two years but my junior year SGt Peppers was the place. My senior year it was Element. Progressive pitchers starting at 3. I'd spend like 12 dollars and be good for the entire night. Mickeys basement included.Is FAC still a thing? When I was there (2006-10), Sgt Peppers was about the only place with a crowd, and it was terrible keg beer, 90% dudes, and a dangerously slick floor. Seemed like FAC was a thing of the past unfortunately.
I've been to Es Tas somewhat recently and didn't feel out of place. I don't think I could handle Paddy's, Cy's, Mickey's, or any other place with a ****** college bar feel. WAS would probably be fine.
West Cyde Wings?No. It was in that strip mall or it used to be a strip mall to the east of that hyvee. They had a big projector they put games on. We used to go there once and a while for dollar chilli and watch MACtion on Tuesdays. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.
YES!! I think that was it!! I had a beer with the old wrestling wrestling coach Bobby Douglas in there about a year after he got canned for Cael. That conversation was as awkward as it was intense.West Cyde Wings?
When did that close down?
Oof, I'd imagine 2008ish?When did that close down?
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.This has me stumped. Could it have been Wallabys?
LOL Oh it definitely was. I remember the chili was served in these super thin crappy styrofoam bowls that you had to be careful not to break. And you always ordered two at a time because you never new when you would be able to get another one.Oof, I'd imagine 2008ish?
From what I remember their wings were better than b-dubs, it was just always a service issue.
