Welch Ave Station is my favorite. I really like the space and the sports bar feel. Also, it is extremely close to Pizza Pit Wings and pizza, which is really my final trump card.
Makes sense, since the ownership is largely the same.

My favorite Campustown bar as well. But then, I'm old. :wink:

Tork's Pub, Razzbar, Dugan's

OP did not specify era.


Tork's Pub...naked streaking with meat cleaver and football helmet... throwing peanut shells in inappropriate places.... 1.00 pitchers of Stroh's ... "Mammy Nuns" playing Neil Young... "Frontier" pinball machine taking illegitimate abuse.... Helicopter spins all around urinal... free beer if electricity went off... 5 Thursdays without electricity in a row at end of spring semester... first four storm related... 5th dimension of 5-th story was , last one was drunken swaggler clipped off the electricity pole doing over 100 m.p.h. down west street in his 1974 Monte Carlo torn in half... we cheered him as he staggered away before the heat came down... and of course drank free beer until closing on fifth thursday in a row... the rest of the stories of Tork's Pub will be in my obituary and not before....:rolleyes:..Firth Of A Fifth ?

Torks and Dugans were west of campus, not campustown.
Before it was Cy's it was The Den. Dime draws every friday from noon on. Jolly's and The Alibi were great,too.

You're dating yourself there friend. Jolly's was my favorite also. Good pizza.

We ripped up the "risen" part of the floors in Sips during the remodel and found a lighted disco floor underneath. I wondered if that was from the Cave Inn days.

Didn't see a definite reply to your question. Yes, Cave Inn had lighted disco floor. So did whatever was in where Outlaws is now. Too many names ago - I forget.

What - no love yet for the Lucky Q or Brass Bull back in the day? Yeah, I'm old.
