| - I must admit that I'm a little older and biased against the college bar scene. If I was in my early 20's, I would probably say that it's one of the best bars in town. It's dimly lit, there are beautiful intoxicated women, and the music is upbeat. However, if you're in your mid 20's or older, this is not the place you would want to go. The floor is VERY slippery (sweat and spilled booze), the music is so loud you can't hear your friend's voice even though they're standing next to you, and the majority of patrons are under 21 (anyone under age 19 can enter a bar in Champaign). I'm also not a fan of cover charges, or at least they can charge those who are under 21 and let those of us who can exactly purchase our booze enter for free. Going to this place reminded me of why I don't miss going to college bars:
1. Long lines
2. Cover charges
3. Youngsters who can't handle their overpriced watered-down liquor
4. Even longer restroom lines
5. Listening to ridiculously-loud music while patrons "dance", a.k.a. "dry hump".
Bottom line:
If you're a college kid between the ages of 19 and 22, this might be the place for you. But if you're older or not really into the "club scene", go to Urbana or Downtown Champaign.
