First bar you went to at ISU
- Thread starter Cydar
- Start date
When I was in school they did not allow bars within one mile of campus as that was a stipulation of Mary Greeley when she donated the money for the hospital. This helped keep me in shape as I didn't have a car. Within eight years after I graduated they changed the policy figuring that since Mary had been dead for many years, she probably wouldn't mind enough to ask for her money back so they allowed bars closer to campus.
If you wanted to buy hard liquor you had to drive to Nevada for the closest state liquor store. When I was a freshman and sophmore, you had to have a state-issued liquor book where they recorded each of your purchases. At least that was changed before I turned 21.
The state liquor stores were open from 10:00 to 7:00. That caused the state to pay their employees two hours overtime so they decided to close the stores two hours earlier, in spite of the fact that most working people would not be able to make it. Fortunately somebody batted them severely about the head and shoulders and they opened two hours later instead.

Wallabys... fancy eats for a college student
Is a good place though
Wife was the student. I had a job.
Minor- Deans list
Legal- Cy's
The bar in the basement of DL was a good hang out spot (I forgot the name). There always seemed to be a football player or basketball player there too.

Cafe Lovish because we knew the bartender and she would serve us when we were underage.
My 21st birthday started at Welch Ave Station and moved to Mickey's.
This thread is making me nostalgic for my Ames bars.

1st Ames bar that I remember was Honky Dory's if that is the correct name it was a country bar then. It was also the easiest to get into at the time.
WAS is still favorite.

spent many a late night there after basketball games on the way home to Toronto St. ahhh, the memories.
No but i remember dudes trying to drop a duece in that bathroom. Does anyone else remember how small it was with 2 urinals, and one crapper WITHOUT A DOOR.It was kinda awkward cause you walk in and turn the corner and there is a stranger sitting on the john.
Guilty as charged... Sometimes I was having so much fun I just didn't want to leave to do the 'duty'
I spent ALOT of time at the DL and fortunately very little money...
Whiskey River - It was the perfect place for underage consumption.
Lumpy's was the first stop at 21, only because some buds were regulars there. A lot of funny stories started with, "Dude, we were at Lumpy's and..."

First stop would have been Cy's Roost. I was a freshman in Friley so Welch avenue was the easiest. Drinking age was 18.
Spent a lot of time in the Cave Inn also. When I moved off campus, to 519 Welch, I"d stop at The Library and split a pitcher with my roommate every day after class. For some reason people liked going to Granddaddy's also.
Wow, those were the days. Pizza at Minsky's on weekends. :yes: I should have never left college.

I might have been one of them, depending on the year. If it was 2000-2001, and Lumpy's was open, chances are I was there.
Got shmammered with Eustacy one Wednesday or Thursday night. I don't remember hardly any of it.
Huh? I'm confused...
They played the guitar and told bad jokes at the Tradewinds in the early 80's
