[QUOTE="Illiniguy74, post: 1443444, member: 656008"] Second Chance was built on the site of the Brown Jug (after it burned down). The Jug was something to see. Dark as night inside with fake stain glass lighting here and there around the walls. Big dance floor surrounded by tables and chairs. Served cheap draft beer and Boones Farm apple wine. Bouncers must have not been told to limit entry because it was practically shoulder to shoulder on a Friday night. When the band got goin', that place would rock. Same way with Red Lion. Dooleys did not have bands but might have been the most popular bar on campus. It WAS shoulder to shoulder on Friday and Saturday nights. Dooleys had a basement bar area accessed by a narrow stairway. Can only imagine what would have happened if there had been a fire in that place on a weekend evening. Man, the memories. [/QUOTE]
