This is the same person that helped me last time I was in town and the only other time I've been here. She is super helpful and talks you through all the options. Came in at happy hour which is $3 off all drinks from 4:00 to 8:00 Monday thru Friday. I got a great well-made old fashioned for $7.63! Old school prices for the old school ambiance. It's a bit of a hike getting up the stairs to the place but it is worth it as you feel transported back in time. Well decorated with great music. Great place to chill and relax from the summer heat. Will definitely return next time I'm in town.

I was going to start this review by saying that nostalgia can't help everything when it comes to a…read moreplace from my past. I was originally going to say that nostalgia should take you back to your youth without having to deal with the youth that are now frequenting this college watering hole. But I decided when it comes to 17-16, I can't find anything else wrong with it besides having to deal with college students. But you know what, when you have a great "college bar", you really shouldn't expect anything different. Therefore I will let nostalgia from the bar I loved in college negate any of those negative thoughts. Although, I'm sure our group stuck out like the old alums that still hit the bars when they are in town. What makes this bar a great college bar? First of all, the bar runs on both sides and there are always plenty of bartenders. Making it very easy to get a drink. Not to mention college town prices are AMAZING. Also because of this wrap around bar concept, it keeps people flowing in a "lap walking" form. So even though it gets crowded, it doesn't feel that claustrophobic. There is also an outside area in the back. So if you want to get out of the crowded bar, this is usually pretty wide open. Would I frequent 17-16 if it were in my hometown? Probably not. But when I do my once in a blue moon visits and know what I'm getting in to, I can't think of another late night bar in the loveliest village on the plains.
