As someone who probably spent 4 nights a week in Bodega for 2 years, I think it had a pretty decent dynamic with SB at first. Sky was the young bar and Bodega was the upperclassman bar. Even with Skybar the youngins were still excited to graduate to Bodega.
Very curious as to how Auburn's fairly meager bar scene meets the need of 25k+ student body. In my day Auburn was heavy on house parties and whatnot still, but to me it seems the bar offerings were better then than now.
I get the sense students are more willing to spend money - do older students do the bar at some of the better/newer restaurants? That wasn't really a thing when I was in school.

As a fairly recent graduate we spent a lot of time at Sky, Moes (Monday bingo), The Hound (Thursday pint nights), Live Oaks (mainly day drinking), and Quixote's (now torn down). Between those 4 and the occasional visit to 1716 or The Avondale, with comedowns at Little Italy and Momma G's on Thach, we never felt we had a shortage of options. It's only expanded since then in terms of options.

The location, patio and downstairs horseshoe bar made Bodega. Could not be a better place for a bar in Auburn.

I mean, Sky is the size of 3 bars at most colleges. It is just a massive bar. It would take the place of probably half of Alabama's bars on their strip as far as just capacity.
There were still a ton of house parties when I was there as well, but between SB, Bank Vault, Quixotes, Bourbon Street, 1716, an Strutting Duck downtown, then Supper Club. Capacity wise those were all pretty big bars. That doesn't even factor in Fat Daddy's back when it was decent and stuff like that that was a bit off campus.
I'd love for the city to get a few more with some different variety though.

I'm in your boat. 1999-2001 I was at Bodegas. A LOT. Loved that place.
Of course, we'd end up at Supper Club around 1 or 2am.
