OT: Freshman bars

Half the bars in Athens would let you in with a napkin that says "I'm 21" on it. Just bring girls.

Granted I hate freshman bars now the ones I'd suggest would be Bourbon, Whiskey Bent, Generals, the place that used to be sideways but now has the smoothie drink shite, Stonewalls, Aftermath ( ), Buddah and Flanaghans.

Just get a half assed fake. People don't care unless you go to upperclassmen bars that are getting crowded. Only times I was ever denied was because I was already pretty rowdy.

ID's are easy to come by. Try to find someone older you know now and see if you can get an old real one. Georgia kind of sucks on their new ID laws though, it's way harder to get a new license than it was 5 years ago.

You'll have a lot of fun at Bourbon for a year and then wonder why you ever went there when you get older. Except for bid day subsequent years

Theres some solid advice in this thread DD. The bars I'd recommend from my freshman year would probably be Whiskeybent, Moonshine, Flanagans, and Generals...

Don't go to Bourbon until about 1:30 when the Freshman girls are at their most vulnerable. It's not worth it to stay in there all night

How the frick is Buddha Bar, of all places, still open? I fricking hated that place; only went in when I was following pussy around.


Downtown's landscape has changed too much and it seems like only shitty places like Buddha and Flanagan's managed to survive. I hear Beaureard's ain't what it used to be, either. At least Firehouse is gone... frick that place.


I feel old.
