We typically take Friday speakers in our department out to lunch here. The restaurant food is very good with a diverse, ever changing menu. In terms of the bar I would give this 1 star. I've been to many grad student run bars and all except Thomson house serve beer AT or near cost. I really don't understand how beer is so expensive here. Don't the grad students working know how much grad students make? Been to a few events here and staff is always mean and short. Try to keep us from bringing in booze. How do you expect us not to do that when you charge so much for beer?
