July 13, 201015 yr Well, Purdue has probably the worst bar scene in the big ten, probably the midwest, but Broad Ripple, which is Butler University bars basically, its pretty damn impressive. I was in downtown Chicago last weekend and I had a pretty good time on Rush street.

Your friend Izzy was gonna get us into some fancy club / bar somewhere but that didn't happen. All I remember is it going downhill from there.
July 13, 201015 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) God I have had some bad nights at Pippens. Good bar, just rough nights. WestEnd is actually having a crazy promo today. If you show up before the All star game tonight, and you have to chose the AL or NL. If your team wins and you stay to the end of the game, they pick up your tab. WTF

Without meeting them, I know I like the owners. I'd hedge my bets, get with a group and run two tabs. Start drinking hard on the winning tab and hope some come from behind non sense doesn't happen.

The NL doesn't remember how to win an All Star Game.

Start drinking hard on the winning tab and hope some come from behind non sense doesn't happen. Listen, the owners of those bars are some of the best in the city if not the best at turning a profit. Every bar they open earns a ton of money, most of it by not giving away anything for free. There has to be some catch.

I despise college bars Not too "collegey". Not a horrible time. I met a luvabull there one night.

I really have to look into that f***ing promo. I wonder if the winning team can get a free Cookie sundae in the skillet? That is over the top good there.

Richards is a classic dive bar, nothing but old s*** on the juke and you can carry out booze. I'd suggest it one night.
