| - When did the snobby side of me wear off? Actually, I've always had an appreciation for casual, somewhat divey bars, so long as the jukebox is well-stocked, the beer is cheap, there's a TV and a pool table. Lucky, for me, the Graduate has all of the above!
On a Friday night, I bought a 6 bottle bucket of beer for $12, not too shabby at $2 a beer. The crowd was very diverse. A group of black guys turning up the volume on the jukebox to a loud rap tune, some pretty, young, well groomed couples hanging out after the comedy show, then some casual, college aged folks shooting some stick.
Yes, it's a strip mall, but so what? There are plenty of TVs to watch the game and they also have food until 2 AM. I didn't eat there, but I enjoyed the open feeling, high ceiling, semi-industrial/bohemian feel of the bar. So it's not the hippest place, not a scene and be seen joint, but it works for me.
