What makes a great bar? Rather, what makes a great postgrad bar? Great prices, good enough food (or no food at all), great happy hour, a classy decor or a place that looks like the dive bar to end all dive bars. People’s tastes in bars vary in their 20s and your preferences change from night to night. Do I want to throw a blazer on and order something that costs more than three dollars? Or do I want to put on a t-shirt and jeans and blackout like it’s freshman year?
Which bar should you be going to in your city?
These aren’t ranked in any particular order.
Bar: Little Woodrow’s
Where: West Sixth Street – Austin, TX
What: A big ol’ patio bar right in the heart of downtown Austin with a ton of beers on tap, turtle races every Saturday and an awesome Mon-Thu Happy Hour.
Drink: A tall, cool bottle of Lone Star or Austin Beerworks Peacemaker if you’re down with the whole IPA thing.
Food: Food truck on property called One Taco. Get the Gringa and steak taco.
What is this, Bleacher Report? Please don’t start with the slide-shows…
What kind of knuckle sucker picked Barcito of all the bars in Chicago as his favorite? I’ve had better happy hours in the parking lot of a Walmart…
That’s why we put Chili’s on here. The great equalizer.
The day complimentary chips and salsa stopped, i died a little.
Spot on. The Beer Bistro in Lincoln Park on the other hand is a great place with tons of different beers on tap.
How about a top 5 PG bars for most major cities? I’d read that.
In the works.
Don’t leave the twin cities out next time guy.
Just go hang out with the lovey dovey assholes on Hennepin Ave and shut your mouth. But seriously, just go anywhere in Edina for the views, screw the bar.
I live in Edina.
I think we can safely work under the assumption that a Senate intern submitted Mad Hatter as a “best postgrad bar” in DC.
Hahahaha this^
You should include an option to view this all on one page.
They get more page views (and thus more money) out of doing it this way. That’s why sites do that billshit, but I guess it pays the bills
Been to 5 of them and can’t disagree
That’s impressive; you must get around.
Agreed, I’ve been to most of these cities and haven’t hit a single one of these places.
Pretty good list as far as Texas goes. I lean towards Black Friar Pub and Renfield’s, though, for Uptown Dallas.
Gotta stop and ride the bull at Trophy Room too
Dive bar in Cleveland is a solid pick for the area.
West Alabama Ice House in Houston
It’s getting shut down. Condos going in. F’ing progress man.
+1 for Olive or Twist in pgh. Best cocktails in town.
