West Street entertainment at its finestDugan's and Tork's.
..... the perfect date for me was going to the drive-in movies and then back toTork's Pub........Granddaddy's for sure - it was the main meat market in Ames when I was in school. Also, Tork's Pub (at least I think it's gone, anyway)......we used to go get six-packs and peanuts when we had backgammon marathons.
The girls miss the old drive-in theatre out on the west end, we spent many evenings there with a big, greasy sack of popcorn and Kool-Aid. (Yeah, we were pretty poor.)
DaVinci's
.... this is a Monumental Statement that should be etched in the stone on the Iowa State Memorial UnionAnother one, can't believe I omitted this: The Maintenance Shop.
I think one of the other 4 bars was Top of the Town. The other two are pretty tough to remember the names of.What were the names of those four bars? One was That Place but what were the others?
Also, Underwhere, Little Taipei, and the bar thats name started with a B that was half a block west of Welch in Campustown. I think it was by a place called Foul Play?
Boyd's had awesome malts. Dugan's is no longer -- used to stop for a couple 50 cent draws every day on my way home from campus. Cy's Roost's deep fried mushrooms were the bomb! My (ex)girlfriend claimed they were an aphrodisiac -- can't dispute it. And That Place was a regular hangout for my gang. Cheap pitchers of Michelob Dark and free peanuts. What could go wrong with that?The Hallway (bar out at North Grand Mall), the Cave inn, GrandDaddy's, The BillBoard, That Place (bar downtown that had the airplane in it and free peanuts). Boyd's Ice Cream. Rumble's (?) the 50 style burger joint on Duff. Is Dugan's Deli still around north west of campus? Oh and when Cy's Roost was actually good.it was fairly nice and served really good burgers and deep fried mushrooms.
Those are all the places I remember fondly. You must be of the same "vintage" as me. lol.I miss the 'ol college town drink specials. As someone mentioned, I think Tuesday night was buck burgers at Cy's. Wednedays , I believe you could take a any cup to Deans List and they would fill it with the alcohol of your choice for $5 (I got my only public intox leaving that place one Wednesday). Thursday was "Drinkin' With Lincoln" at Tazzle's (now Sips, I guess): $5 all you can drink all night. Friday nights were penny pitchers at the Zone (used to be above the Corner Pocket downtown).

Speaking of People's. For a short time, there was a small bar w/ a stage downstairs (with a separate entrance on Lincoln Way), what was that called?
Eventually, it became just a back-stage area for People's music acts.
Lumpy's?
Dugan's Deli, the only place to have real, brewed in Dublin, Guinness Extra Stout.
One pitcher would percolate well over an hour after being poured. Mother's milk.
I thought that was Underwhere? You’d go down the stairs and the place where the bands played was around to your right (there was no stage- the bands set up on the floor). The bar was straight ahead as you went down the stairs and located in the back of the room on the right.That's probably it. I noticed several mentions of Lumpy's throughout the thread, but didn't ring a bell or I wasn't connecting it to anything (if location was mentioned at any point I wasn't paying attention ).
Thanks so much to @cyclones500 for this great topic! I'm just stealing his description verbatim, as it is perfect!
Inspired by recent discussions of Taco Time closing and a reference in Campustown Question thread regarding Do-Biz. What are some defunct restaurants, nightclubs or retail stores you remember fondly from your days at Iowa State, but no longer exist? For those of us who aren’t able to trek back to ISU frequently, what are some establishments you connect most to your college days, whether they still exist or not?
