If getting drunk is your goal you can't beat the $1.50 double gin and tonics at Thumbs(I assume they still have that special since I haven't been there for 5 years).

Welch Ave Station's normal happy hour (open-8pm) is $4.75 domestic pitchers. On Thursday nights you can also get:

Top Shelf Night
Choose from over 140 different liquors and only pay $2.50 for a single, $5 for a double.
If you prefer well drinks, only pay $1.50 for a single, $2.75 for a double.

Or get:

any pint or bottle of beer for $2.50 or less!
$1.75 daiquiris
Even better:
$1.50 16oz draws or 12oz bottles of Bud, Miller, Coors, & PBR! That's 32oz for 3 bucks!

Welch Ave. Station: Specials

Can't beat that in terms of cheap liquor and beer.

I miss the $6 all you can drink Thursday nite special when I was in school.

Dean's List did that I believe, not sure what that place is called now as it's changed names several times over the years. But yeah that was a pretty cheap night out! The place above Corner Pocket had any coin night which was a good time too.

Thursday nights are the best in Ames. Mug Night at all of the bars on welch!

Mug night would certainly be the way to go if you already have a mug, which I'm guessing you don't. $3 to fill up the mug with cheaper beers. $5 to fill it up with better beers or a mixed drink. I think you can get some pretty good beers at the Station for only $3. You of course would have to purchase a mug to get these deals if you don't have one. Not sure but maybe around $5 for that.

Other than that I would say that your best bet is going to be Welch Ave Station.

Sounds like a sales pitch. I would think you work there, but I know you just go too often!

They don't do Mug Night during the summer. Mother's Pub has 32 oz mason jars. $4 beer. $3 mixed drinks.
