Good times.\n\nPreviously known as Wackadoos (and it's still printed on your receipt), the Jolly Scholar (herein referred to as \"The Jolly\") is THE de facto university watering hole for CWRU. But, surprise surprise, the food is also delightfully good.\n\nThe Jolly is tucked away within Thwing Center, hidden away from the steady traffic of Euclid Avenue, but is often frequented by students, faculty, and visitors alike. It's open for lunch, and stays open late, with food and drink offerings all day long (with the exception of a limited menu appearing after midnight on weekends).\n\nThe menu is varied, but not too cluttered with various burgers, quesadillas, sandwiches, and salads. The menu boasts certain \"award winning\" options such as the BBQ brisket sandwich and chicken wings, but I think that the falafel bites, hangover burger, and Monterrey quesadilla are the shining stars of what the kitchen has to offer. Honestly, it's hard to make a bad choice.\n\nWhether you find yourself at a table, or at the bar, there is a continuously revolving offering of beers, ciders, and meads on tap. It's rare to find such a diverse selection in University Circle, but The Jolly makes sure to vary what kegs are coming in. At any given moment, there has to be at least 20 different brews available, alongside the permanent selection of liquors. That's amazing.\n\nThere are times when the service is spotty, especially when prospective students visit and SLAM the restaurant with demand. I tend to avoid the place entirely whenever that happens. Hiring students as servers, in tandem with periodically heavy university courseloads, can sometimes result in having your table abandoned, which can be incredibly frustrating to resolve. But that only happens once in a blue moon.\n\nAlso, there are events during the weekday evenings, and well, some of them are great, and some aren't. If you become a regular, you will slowly understand what this means.\n\nDefinitely a campus gem. If you have a meal voucher (or a credit card, like a normal person), use it here, and grab a pint."^^ . "0"^^ .
