This thread is getting really annoying... make one about bars and get off this one please! Be considerate of the people who choose the recruiting thread to discuss the new recruiting news.
not in '85Wait- Wasn't it called Chin's Wok and Roll Café??
not in '85
Used to make the ice cream drinks at Eddie's, then sneak up the back stairs of Mabel's to catch the band's last set (or at least a song or two). What was the bar called across from Katsinas? Used to see Pork and the Havana Ducks there.
Yep. It's been gone for well over a decade now.Hey, is Record Service gone?

Cochrane's (not CODs), on Wright North of Follett's. Opened in 78 or 79. Four levels, quiet but not too quiet.
R&R !
Figured as much. That was mainly for the lol effect. Spent a lot of time and dough there. Not sure which was better: the music selection or the chicks. RIP.
Boni's and Red Lion ceased during my stretch (77-81). Can someone fill me in on when Treno's and Round Robin went under? Loved Treno's. RR was just another bar. The Rave (band) @ Red Lion provided a lot of blurred highlights. Little King Nights at Cochrane's were the bomb. Transitioned to Murphy's my upperclass years. Oh, yeah...Mabel's. Opened a couple of years in. Pretty popular. Went there a lot. What happened?
Little Kings night.....3/$1.25. I remember when we broke the record for cases served in a night....beating a bar at tOSU which was 650 cases. I think Cochran’s served over 1000 cases. Many brain cells ago...
Went to summer school 1979 and it was the BEST as far as the bars went. It seemed like every bar near campus had some sort of food and drink special. They staggered nights so it ended up that you could subsist on very little money. Round Robin had nickel hot dogs, White Horse had some sort of special and someplace had quarter slices of pizza (I don't remember where). Oh, and the drinks that went with the food were cheap too!
My only summer school also. Organic Chem, matrix algebra and economic history. Had to have bar time to recover from those classes.Yes! '79 summer was my only summer school. 2 300 level CS/EE/Math classes, so that kinda sucked, but the bar scene in the summer was great. Thanks for reminding me.
This board is truly an amazing group. In about a week we have gone from complete despair with no hope for the program to a position where we may need to decide which two Five Star wings we will have to turn down. All this with a tour of every sleezy college bar in the Midwest thrown in too.

And
I just got into town, and you degens (total joke) convinced me to take a stroll down memory lane. At Murphy’s right now...many thanks!
Wow. Four pages in and no mention of Stan's? Couple doors down from Kam's. Frat rat bar pretty much, but I spent a good bit of time and money there.
Went to Stan’s with my dad for Dad’s Day, fall of ‘70. Played the pins for hours...
