I remember the Wednesday nights I spent here with a paint-pen decorated mug in my hand or clutching one of the many straws poking out of a Shark Bowl. Of course it was R&R's back then...
After being under construction for something like 17 years, it finally re-opened after I moved to Chicago. I came here before a football game last year and was pretty impressed. Out with the rickety wooden stairs and graffiti-filled bathroom. In with the shiny photos of firefighters and giant hydrants of beer. 3 cheers for hydrants of beer!! The decor was crisp and basic, which is appropriate for a campus bar where drunken kleptomaniacs will nab anything that isn't nailed down. Apparently, you must be 21 to enter after 9pm so they are going for an older crowd.
I highly recommend this place if you're an alum and hitting up Chambana for a sporting event.
