Campustown Redevelopment

[JEFF420]

Are there any future plans to revitalize campus town? I understand they are college bars, but the buildings were a dump 20 years ago. I can't imagine what they are like now.

would you rather have a sanitized Toby keith's i love this bar and grill? na, give me mickey's STD bathrooms

Disgusting building design. No character.

This may be hard to believe, but campustown was a ******** when each of you were in college, too. You just didn't care because you were in college and mug night was a steal. Lumpy's always smelled like piss, but I still went there. (this post is as much to myself as it is to everyone here)

Truth. I’m older than most here. My biggest takeaway was in a bar, I think called “down under.” At an FAC, I saw a dude drink an entire pitcher of beer without swallowing. Somehow he could just “pour” it down his throat. Funny the things we remember when we can’t remember some things we should.

Not sure why that can't just put in some concrete next to Mr Burrito and roll some food trucks in on the weekends. It's something at least.

WAS is still awesome. Been to Cafe B a few times in recent years, that still gets the job done. But the fact that some of the other “popular” spots do a halfassed bottled service now is rather a joke in my opinion. Paddy’s should never have bottle service.

no the only bottle service should be a busch light bottle flying across the pool tables

Lake Letrine getting flushed and wiped down. Hopefully for $5.1 million it turns out nice.

AJ's Bar and Grill
AJ's Liquor Store
AJ's Ultra Lounge

I think BNC Field House is also part of that ownership.
