Eleven Warriors

Ugly Tuna, Fourth Street, and Tooooooooos.  Class of 2012.

Bernie's is fun, if just for the fact that Jeffery Dahmer used to drink there...sketchy joint, but fun.  Personally, I dig quieter bars where I can chill with my pints, so I wound up spending almost all my free time at the Brazenhead in Grandview.  They have a killer deal on Wednesdays, $3 burgers till 9, though they are packed as all Hell then.  After about ten, the crowd really thins out, and you're left with 4-5 hours of Guinness-pounding awesomeness.  They also just started carrying Magner's Irish Cider, which is infinitely better than Strongbow.

@hodge, no truer words have been spoken.   You ever tried killkenny?  Not sure if brazenhead has it but The Dublin Tavern does and man, its so good.

@BUCKEYEEDDIE - Can't say that I have, is it a pub ale, like Old Speckled Hen?

Not sure if it was mentioned, but the Thirsty Scholar (if it's still around) was always a decent stop for us.  It was near the corner of Neil and Lane, beside the gas station, and had an all-you-can-drink deal on domestics ($8) and imports ($11) which was pretty dangerous

@BUCKEYEEDDIE - Yeah, sounds just like Old Speckled Hen (Boddington's too).  Check The Pub at Polaris, it's a bit expensive, but they do have tons of UK beer there.

I heard of this cool place called "McFadden's" from my favorite sports scribe Pat Forde.

Lived up north all 4 years, Hendocks on Maynard and High was always my choice... 3 dollar white russians on Tuesdays, oh ya... Out r Inn is solid as is Toos... Little Bar when they have their irish drink specials

RIP Papa Joe's, the best effing bar there ever was.  I get misty eyed just typing this.  I went to OSU in the late 80's, so all the good dive bars on High Street are gone.  Still like the Stube and Out-R-Inn.

What about Mama's? Is Mama's gone? Please guys, I can't bear this much heartache in a non college football season day.

@BREWSTER - Out-R-Inn is still there, Mama's might be gone, but I haven't heard about it closing.

you kidding? Gateway is overcrowded and pricy... ALWAYS have covers, just ridiculous..

Was there is the early 90s, but my favorites were Out-R-Inn, Stube, Bearnies, South Hiedleberg, and Papa Joe's

BED, I was bummed when I found out Larry's closed.  That was definitely my favorite bar.

Chris Logsdon at Street Scenes on a Tuesday night, boy does that bring back memories.  Both good and bad.  That is the ONLY Long Island Iced Tea I've ever consumed, for reasons I would rather not get into at this time.

I still like going to Bernies on High Street when we go back to campus for game days.  It is never crowded and they serve breakfast for cheap.  I was in Bernies the night OJ took his low speed drive.

Rest In Peace Papa Joe's.  It burned down my third year of Dental school.

Man, that's tough. I wasn't a regular at Larry's but it will always have a special place in my heart-It was the tipping point on my senior crawl in 2005. We started way North and worked our way down and by the time we hit Larry's I was feeling pretty good. By the time I left Larry's, I was out of my mind. I toughed it out for another few hours but they talk about the one punch that changes the tempo of a heavyweight title fight, well my 1 beer, 1 shot combo at Larry's was what ultimatley did me in. I'll never forget that place!

Thirsty Scholar (Free Popcorn son) and Out R Inn were staples for me. I lived in the apartment just across the alley from Out R Inn on Frambes so I wasn't a very far stumble from either place. Man...brings me back to a simpler time dudes.

Out-R-Inn, Too's Underground and the Library... I usually was trying to play pool as well as drink, That being said Suzie Cue's (or Q's can never remember) is a pretty cool pool hall with free play on tuesdays and thursdays not to mention 7 dollar domestic pitchers.

Thirsty Scholar, Library, Too's, and Little Bar were the ones I frequented the most. Would stop off at O Patio (4kegs) for beers and the occasional liquid dope on their slower nights.

Also, if you are into spirits, Barrell 44 is a good choice. They have a a large selection of bourbon, scotch, and whiskey.   

I forgot Little Bar... great gameday atmosphere

Spent plenty of Tuesdays at Hendoc's for mug night.

I worked at the Varsity Club during my days in school, so I was always partial to that. Game days aside, it had decent crowds but never too crowded and had a nice patio bar. I hit up just about every bar on High St. with regularity so there weren't many that I disliked. The Gateway was relatively new during my latter years in Columbus, so it was easy to deal with and Lucky's was good too. I guess the central theme of this is that I clearly enjoyed going to the bars...ha
