Good drink deals, but as a restaurant they have very limited options. No vegetarian and hardly anything other than sausage. It'd be nice for them to extend their menu to at least include a veggie burger... read more

State Street Brats - American Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

See all

Congratulations, State Street Brats: you nailed it! And by "it" I mean being just awful. Last night some friends and I went to Brats after not being able to acquire hockey tickets. We wanted a semi-ridiculous, sports-centric atmosphere, so Brats seemed like the logical choice. We'd all been in college, and thought we knew what to expect. Nope. After grabbing a booth upstairs and sitting around for awhile, a waitress came by and asked if we were interested in ordering. After telling her yes, she told us that they were cutting their wait staff so we had to go to the bar to order. Not a huge deal, but there were some flaws: 1) the wait staff that was supposedly cut were aimlessly wandering around the bar for the entire time we were there 2) when you ordered, they told you to just come back and check if your food was ready - no estimate of time, no notification system, and again, no use of their employees milling about 3) after our table had ordered and checked for food a few times, the table behind us got waiter service Thanks for your outstanding customer service, guys! To top it off, the food was as lacking as the service. The nachos were basically a pile of oil, the cheese curds eerily resembled bad breaded chicken used at fast food Chinese restaurants, and the burger baskets were a ripoff. While the burger was okay, the $2 upcharge for fries was a joke. For $2.50 you can get an entire basket of fries, but the two bucks they charge to add them to your burger only gets you about fifteen soggy fries. While the portion size was okay (I ate about two before deciding they were too gross to continue on with), it's nonsense that they charge you so much for a tenth of what comes in a basket that you could just order separately for virtually the same price. At the very least, I learned a very important lesson: State Street Brats is best enjoyed by highly intoxicated college students and my time there is over. read more

So... my check-in offer for 50% off pumpkin beer was met with a basic "you're SOL--we're out of it," (that was paraphrased--and accompanied by a shrug). So... not particularly thrilled. Note to the managers? Brief your bartenders on offering up something else for the same discount. Or stay more on top of your offers. That left a bad taste in my mouth. To come here on a crowded night is no good. Nothing here is worth the wait, really. But when it's quiet (ie: early or snowing hard), they'll change the TVs for you to whatever sports you're into. And on those easy nights, the bartenders will make you very strong drinks (if you're into that lol). The fiberglass cattle are fun to take photos with. The patio is great to sit at if you can find a spot. The bathroom is... meh. The stall door was a little wonky, but it's a bar so... I'm not docking points for that. All in all, if you want a good brat and it's not crazy crowded yet, go here (I prefer the white brats with REAL mustard lol). If it's already full of people... hit up a different spot. read more

I don't like places that make me go up to the bar to order. Seems to me that if you're a bar, be a bar. If you're going to serve food, at least send a waitress around or something. Making me go up to the bar means that if I have an issue or need a refill, I'm going to have to walk up to the bar and stand there like a chump for at least five minutes until the bartender gets to me. Now, don't get me wrong--State Street Brats is a Madison institution, but that's exactly WHY they should up their game. I placed my order with a bored-looking college bro-type. He had an oversized headband on like he was hoping for the Bret Michaels tourbus to drop by. Really, Broseph? This is the look you're going with? Whatever, man... The bill was sort of reasonable, so I can't complain too much about price. However, like just about everything on State Street, I will say that I thought the prices were a dollar or two more than they probably should have been. I ordered bacon cheddar cheese curds. I think there should, BY FRIGGIN' LAW!, be a warning if the establishment uses prepacked, frozen curds--as State Street so clearly did with these. I did not have their usual fried curds; maybe those are different, I don't know. However, the bacon cheddar curds were mealy and gross. This is Wisconsin. If you're using prepacked frozen curds, you need to let your customers know ahead of time so we don't waste money buying that crap. I don't have a problem if you have to freeze your curds ahead of time--Deak's in Stoughton and Headquarters in Oregon do this, and they have the best curds in the area, hands down--but don't serve me cardboard-breaded, out-of-a-plastic bag curds. It's just not right. It's not fair. And as Wisconsinites in the Land of Cheese, we should not have to endure such atrocities. The red brat was good. The condiment bar was adequate. The cheeseburger my kid had was good--flame broiling for the win. There were enough sporting events playing on the dozen TVs in the joint that all of our bases were covered (golf, little league world series, funny car racing, etc...). I don't think a positive or a negative review for this landmark is going to sway anyone from attending or not attending for a meal or three in their lifetime, but I know that I don't have a driving NEED to go to State Street Brats. I'd rather walk a block east and go to Five Guys for a burger. But, maybe if they stop serving crappy prepack cheese curds, I'll be more of a regular customer. read more

BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETERS! Short version : Chicago couple goes out dancing to SSB and ends up having to track down a thief in the crowd and retrieve a pickpocketed phone - staff more concerned with calming us down than helping catch the thief who had 3-4 stolen phones on him and who knows what else. Long Version: My girlfriend and I spent our 4th of July Holiday weekend in Madison and being young wanted to check out the nightlife. I used Yelp to search for a place with a dance floor and found SSB. We drove from our hotel, found some parking and started our night. Drinks were reasonable and we observed the scene as we waited to people to shuffle their way to the dance floor after downing a bit of liquid courage. As I was driving and am responsible, I only had a few drinks spread out across the very long period we were there. So we're dancing, having a great time, DJ is playing some great 90's throwbacks, it's about 1:30 AM and we decide to head home after a few more songs. My girlfriend looks down and notices that her over the shoulder purse has been unzipped - oh great. She tells me that someone's taken her phone and we begin to panic. A girl next to me overhears us and says, "I think I saw someone with a red bandana taking stuff out of girls' purses." Gee thanks for telling the employees that there was a pickpocket roaming around. But also thank you for telling us because we wouldn't have had the same conclusion without your tip. Anyways, I spot a red bandana moving towards the stairs, presumably to make an exit and I begin my chase. I push through the crowd, adrenaline pumping, and finally catch the thief on the stairs. I yell "GIVE ME THE PHONE!" and he tries to play dumb. I begin checking his pockets as he pulls out a white iPhone, my girlfriend's, and I waste no time snatching it out of his hand. I am enraged and continue to yell at and be a little aggressive with the thief as he tries to run out of the bar. The staff was more concerned with calming my girlfriend and I down than notifying the authorities or trying to stop the guy, who had at least three other stolen phones and who knows what else on him. They were rude, telling us "What do you want us to do, tackle him?" Well, yeah, that is your job as bar security. I would avoid this place for nightlife unless you want to risk losing your valuables. read more

As long as I have traveled to Madison, I have made a point to stop down and eat a bratwurst (or two) at State Street Brats. Wisconsin has a strong German heritage, and it's only appropriate that one of the best brats can be found a mile from the State Capitol. It's a great place to start an evening of drinking on State Street. You have a few choices of brats, red or white, and I suggest you add the waffle fries or cheese curds as a compliment. The cheese curds are great by themselves too...yum! The waitstaff seemed non-existent, so we ordered from the bar. The food was ready in about 10 minutes...prices, very reasonable. They have a great assortment of toppings...a handful of mustard, sauerkraut, and even mayo for the fries in a bar toward the center of the downstairs eating area. After eating a few brats and drinking some brews, head out and turn right to head toward some other bars...but make your way back here later on, since they open a dance floor upstairs...with a bar in one corner serving PBR taps for cheap. State Street Brats, it's quintessential Wisconsin. It'd be fun to see what this place looks like on a Packer or Badger game day. read more

Ah State Street Brats. I've had many a curd and cocktail at this bar. Each one more delicious than the last. Staff is friendly and efficient and the place (overall) is kept pretty clean considering how busy it gets. Don't expect gourmet eats and drinks at this place, but expect to have a great time with your buds, likely watching Badger sports. As mentioned their food is standard 'Sconnie bar fare - burgers, brats, cheese curds, etc. Word to the wise - get the curds. In my humble opinion they serve up some of the best in the area. In terms of drinks, the menu is pretty vast and you can always score a cheap pitcher of Spotted Cow or a Rose Bowl if you're feeling adventurous. With two levels, a great patio, plenty of seating and TV's (plus a wooden cow upstairs), Brats is prime for many great Badger games to come. read more

State Street Brats is a college bar. I have heard it gets really busy in the evenings, full of college students! That being said I have never been here during one of these times. State Street Brats has a large menu, filled with brats, burgers, fried foods, and other pub fare. They have a small but good collection of beers on tap. You order at the bar and then they give you a number so they can deliver your food. When the food comes to your table it is rather bare. But fear not! There is a topping/condiment bar inside with dozens of sauces, veggies, and pickled goods to top your food with. (I LOVE this!) The other thing I love about State Street Brats is the patio. It has nice string lights and plenty of places to sit and people watch those walking on State St. I should be clear that State Street Brats is not mind-blowing in any way. However, State Street Brats is reliable, delicious, and perfectly satisfying bar food and drinks. read more

I was just here. Food sucks!!!! The only good thing they had was one of the bartenders. Little chick with dark hair. Wish I would have gotten her name. But their lucky to have her. I hope they are paying her well. The rest of the place. Don't waist your time. Keep walking down state. There are so many better place to give your $$$ to. Illinois in the house!!! read more

This brought me back to my college days, even waited in line to get in! We just came for a drink so I grabbed a spotted cow, took in the scene, and had a great night of it. It wasn't overly packed but a good amount of people, everyone having fun and being social. That's what it's all about, right? ;) read more

Tell me I am crazy, I did not consume any brats during the time I was here. WHAT! I will say that the cheese curds are pure delicious cheesey goodness, their bloody mary's are above par for a packed college bar in the morning, and their service was great. The location is prime... this is some perfect people watching here. Stamp of approval. read more

State Street Brats‼ what a memorable time I've had here in the past. Drank my first Sprecher boot.... Oh yeah... Those were the days. So it was the night if the Edgewater's big Christmas tree lighting ceremony and my oldest was in town with her boyfriend from Waukesha. After the tree lighting we decided to get a bite on State Street and I had recently downloaded the Hooked App and we decided to try The State Street Brat House. We walked in and it was dead as a door nail being Christmas break and all. One other small group of 3-4 and U.S. The bartenders (there were 3 of them) were decorating for the holiday. We were ignored. We grabbed some menus and approached the bar to order and the bartenders scowled at us like we were interrupting them. My daughter is a pt bartender at The Rabbit in Waukesha so she was more understanding than I was and proceeded to try to win over the staff with her wiles (just kidding) mono-I-mono... She ordered us shots of Fireball and we ordered cheeseburgers because the App had $5 burgers and some cheese curds. We ended up accidentally spilling one shot and they gave us another on the house as we cleaned it all off the table. So that was very kind. Then out came our food and what delightfully good food it was. The cheeseburgers were chargrilled and every topping one could want was available at the condiments bar. The curds were perfect and it ended up being a great experience overall. We will definitely go back!! Yummm read more

Came here on game day and experienced the Badger crowd prepping for the big game first hand. I stuck to the basics and split a red brat and a white brat. While both sausages were great, they weren't mind blowing in the sense that one would drive hundreds of miles to get them (even though I did just that). This place is more about the atmosphere and its classic college bar vibe, most accurately described as lots of beer and people wearing red. FYI - When entering and exiting on the right side of the entrance, beware the big vent that shoots out warm sausage filled air at you. It's kind of overwhelming if you don't like that sausage smell. read more

This place is a solid three+. I have so many wonderful memories of this place from going here when my kids went to school in Madison (Madtown)!! Their white brat is the bomb and they make a great chicken sandwich. I'm not into burgers so I really can't comment on those but I assume they are good because there is always a crowd there whenever we go, and, some of those people must be eating burgers. There is a condiment bar where you can dress up your sandwich in whatever manner you'd like. Also, lots of TV's to watch whatever sports show you are up for - meh! It is right on State Street which is the main drag between the Capital and the Campus, kind of like an abbreviated eat street in Mpls. Lots of communal seating at high top tables but also some booths along a couple walls. If you like brats - especially white ones - you'll like this place. read more

What used to be a Madison tradition for college students and those looking for a fun gameday place has become an atrocious dump. I went there last Sunday with my wife to watch some football on their big screens upstairs, and boy did it not take long to make us leave. For starters, we went to the bar upstairs to order some drinks and food, only to have the bartender be fairly rude and gruff when we asked questions. He looked like a normal college-aged guy, but apparently he must have been hungover or something because he just didn't want to provide any kind of service what so ever. After paying for the food, my wife went back up to ask if they put a charge hold on the card because she remembered this from her time at college there, and it turned out they did. I had no idea about this, and the bartender never mentioned it before I paid. So it turns out, they put a charge on your card for FIFTY DOLLARS if you pay for anything with it. The reason is to "make sure you have money in your account". It's now four days later, and that charge is still sitting on my bank account, tying up money I could have used for other things. During this whole process, I was obviously a bit upset but I was calm about it because we wanted to just watch the games and have a good time. Sadly, the volume on their speakers was set for Rave level, and I was going deaf from the noise level rather than being able to have a conversation and watch the game. There were literally five people in the place, so I don't understand what they were gearing up for. One of the big TVs was on ESPN while the other one was on the game, so I went up and asked if they could change it to one of the other football games that was on. The bartender said it's going to happen (again gruffly), and eventually changed it to a game. We finally got our food. What used to be some of the best Madison Cheese Curds are now some over processed orange heap of nuked badness. My burger looked like it had come out of a turnstyle vending machine. Neither of the items tasted any better. Got up and left at this point, won't be back again unless I'm really really really drunk. Which, granted, is probably the only time it's worth patronizing this pile of an establishment. read more

2 and 4 stars. There's no value in them. If a place is a four that means it's better than most, but there are specifically designated spots that are better. I'm not taking home silver, ok? But if a place is a two that means it's moderately bad. It's obviously not good. It's probably actively bad. But the 2 star gives it a special designation that neither 3 nor 1 stars gives it. There are better basic bars. This is boring. To be honest, I'd rather come to this bar than other bro college bars. To be honest, I'd much rather go to some other bro college bars than this bar. It's just middle of the road bro-ey and college-ey. Sometimes friends or family or pretty girls will want to go here, and you know, that'll sway me more than any dumb opinion I've ever formed. But I don't want my memories of Madison to be, "I won a bunch of cheap drinks at flip night and that's how I met your mom." You all have a friend who has done that. Maybe two of them. They might be in love. Think about how nice those friends are. I'm sure they're really, really nice. This may seem like an indictment of all college bars in Madison, and maybe it is. To be honest, I haven't stepped foot in this spot for years, so I don't even really know. But if you feel so compelled to read a review of this historic institution, I do have a few questions do pose to you. Where do the musicians hang out? The grad students? The aspiring politicians or theater kids? The kids that rap or throw paint on walls? I don't mean where do you see them, because of course you'll see them here. They're all pretty much bullied to come here, and they don't like any other spot in this city enough to complain that this place is not as cool. read more

We went for lunch during the summer, when the university was not in session. But even then it was evident that this is a college joint-- sport-themed and fratty. Not the place to be if you're--say-- anything over 23. Otherwise, the brats were great, the patio nice and the service ladies friendly. The fried cheese curds were ... fried and not much more, so you can probably skip those-- unless, dude, you're totally hung over because you downed 27 natty lights the night before and you need to sober up to study...Brah... read more

Been to brats a few times drinking now and I must say that some of the deals are ridiculously good. Flip night is great. The bar is usually full and I always run into someone that I haven't seen in ages. The layout could be better to encourage flow from the bar. Seems like it takes half an hour just to get a drink. The food is ok, nothing special but hits the spot. There's always a game on here so thats a bonus, but if its a badger game the volume is on so loud I can hardly hear myself think. At the end of the day I would recommend a friend to go to brats just to experience this classic college bar. Its a once a month kind of bar if you know what I mean. There are much better and worse options downtown. Middle of the road in my opinion. read more

I go to State Street Brats every time I am in Wisconsin, which is 3-4 times a year. I have never had a bad experience. The brats are great. The beer is good. The free popcorn is, well, FREE! read more

The waffles fries are great! Traditional Wisconsin bar fare. I like the condiment bar, you can pretty much find anything you need there. The patio is great on a nice spring/summer/fall day. read more

State Street Brats - We love the cheese curds, waffle fries, and the dairy air! - American Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Great selection of Wisconsin beers. The red brat is unmatched. Fun atmosphere for any sport, especially Wisconsin football or basketball. Get here early before a game to lock down a table, plenty of tvs and projectors for the full game day experience. Always a pleasure as a student or an alumni. read more

My friend and I split the Cheddar Head Red Brat and an order of cheese curds. The brat was solid - tasty and satisfying, but not as delicious as the one I had at Oktoberfest in Germany (but really, what would be that delicious?!). The cheese curds were yummy, but then again I've never met a cheese curd I didn't like. On a random note, the bathroom seriously gave me the creeps. Not sure why. I was the only one in there, but I felt like I was being watched, and I had a lot of pressure/tightness in my chest that lifted as soon as I walked out the bathroom door. Anyone know if this place is haunted or something???? read more

Great beats, nice topping station. Friendly and fast service, good alcohol prices and vast amount of beers on tap. Large patio area and overall fun time! read more

As a visitor to Madison, I wanted to get some sports on, so headed down State St. and found this gem of a spot. It's obvious that on Labor Day Monday the only people here were college kids, but I loved everything about the bar/restaurant - decorations, TVs everywhere, Green Bay Packer schedule and the massive condiments cart with what I would call mustard heaven! I had some sconnie beers (Ale Asylum Hopalicious and Capital Island Wheat) and a yummy white brat. In Germany the white brats (weisswursts) are everywhere, and I totally miss them in North America, so it was nice to have a taste of home, in Madison of all places. The cheese curds are not cheap, but tasted kind of rubbery. Not too bad for my first experience, but nothing to call home about. Come here if you don't mind a sticky floor, cheap food, and a totally amazing sports vibe. I bet on a game night this place is impossible to get in! read more

This bar is what you'd expect it to be for being in the heart of a football obsessed, college town. It was crowded and loud. The food was average. I suggest trying the cheese curds, but staying away from the chicken sandwich. It had ZERO taste. The decor was festive and they had tons of flat screen tvs. They have a great selection of beer and a full bar. The prices were reasonable. Meh. read more

They have a $5 fish sandwich with fries and a soda! Perfect for Friday fish fry for lunch! 11-4pm they have this deal on Friday. They also have a lot of condiments they have a whole bar of condiments and it's amazing because you can get ranch, mustards, Mayo, ketchup, in all different varieties. Perfect for a Friday lunch! read more

Came on a Thursday night and was disappointed in the bar. I had heard so many good things about this place, and it did look much fuller on Friday night and Saturday during the day, when the Badgers were playing. Unfortunately, I only experienced the Thursday night experience and can only rate it as such. It was kind of surprisingly lonely and empty here, and we didn't stay for a drink. Well, we might have, but no one came and took our order. At least there are lots of TVs for the games, etc. With the word brats in the name though, I suppose next time I should try some of the food. read more

You don't go here for the food, you go for the huge amount of televisions and variety in drinks. This is one of the few bars where my boyfriend, who can't eat gluten or wheat, can get an awesome bottled beer (Bard's Tale, a sorgum stout). You can also find a wide variety of taps, liquors and they have many specials. Lots of good places to sit, this is where I would go for big games, like the superbowl or FIFA world cup. However, the food isn't great. HOWEVER, compared to other places with bar food and such, it's a very good price. At buffalo wild wings, the wings are much better but almost twice the price. You get ten wings at state street brats for $6, which isn't bad. Burgers are okay, probably the best thing on the menu are the cheese curds or waffle fries (but they're not called waffle fries). Anyways, don't come real hungry. :) read more

Came here around midnight-ish on a Friday night because as a Purdue student I wanted to hit up some UW Madison college bars. This place was nice- good crowd, good service, good music, and good specials. No complaints. I liked the indoor and outdoor seating arrangements with the dance area upstairs. I'd come back during the day to try the restaurant food here as well. read more

We got a pitcher of beer and hung out in the outdoor area in the back. There were nice string lights set up and you can see the crowd walking around State Street. This seems like a nice place to grab drinks - centrally located with a lot of space both inside and outside. read more

State Street Brats - Back patio - American Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I've been a huge fan of state street brats and their bartenders/servers for the last five years but I had an experience last night that bothered me. While I was at the bar with 4 of my roommates, I placed a drink order first and opened a tab. My friends came in about 5 minutes later and attempted to do the same and we were told that the owner now only allows one credit card per table. This means that one of us was going to be forced to put our credit card on file and anything anybody else got would just get added to that cards bill. We were all there to have a few drinks and enjoy ourselves but the person whose card was used had to keep track of who was buying what and how much each person would owe them at the end of the night. Then after getting our itemized bill when we left we had to sit down and go line by line splitting up the bill and calculating tips/ what everyone's share is. This was a huge inconvenience for me as a customer and took away from the Brats/night out experience. With so many bars offering outdoor seating now, the brats patio is less of a premium and this is the only time in my life I've been told one person has to put a card on file for everyone at the table. I hope that management will review this unnecessary policy and go back to the normal way of doing things. The community is showing up to support you, please give your bartenders and servers the tools and policies to support the community is a no nonsense manner. read more

5 stars to watch sports, 4 stars to eat and hang, and 3 stars as a straight up bar. I loved watching sports here on the big screens or grabbing a burger or brat for dinner. It kind of loses its appeal for me when it turns into a straight up bar on the weekend nights. However, its a great looking building that is coated in Badger red. This is the sports bar in Madison. For me if a big game is to be watched on TV, this is the number 1 atmosphere in town. read more

Was working and didn't have much time to waste on eating, so we decided to run in here for some brats. The place was pretty empty but apparently it was "football night" so they were on their "football menu" which was pretty small but had brats which was what I was going for so YAY. I got the white brat and wanted to get a side of cheese curds (...I've still NEVER had cheese curds. Ever.) Apparently they can't do a small side of cheese curds on football night, although it's probably good that this wasn't my first try at them. So I got some onion rings. We also got "chicken wings" but didn't realize it said boneless. The brat ended up being pretty...megh. There's a bar to add toppings to the brat which was completely gross/dirty/old looking. For some reason I still decided to add some sauerkraut to my brat. It was pretty damn gross. All of the mustard bottles were all sticky. The onion rings were surprisingly good. The onion inside actually tasted like onion, not like some fried string and was juicy. The "chicken wings" were like little fried crunchy dough balls with tiny little pieces of chicken. I get it that boneless chicken wings are kind of like small chicken nuggets but this was just ridiculous...you can get better boneless chicken wings at BDubs... read more

I went here because I wanted to share a taste of Madison with visiting family members. The ambiance was promising--there was a cool condiment bar for brats and sandwiches, nice outdoor seating, and even some Jenga games to play while you wait for your food. However, the food was lackluster. My Red Brat was dry, and my Dad said the same of his steak and brat sandwich. The fried cheese curds were ok, but didn't quite hit the "crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside" criteria. The Old Fashioned serves better ones. The waffle fries here were admittedly very good. However, next time I want to share a taste of Madison with visitors, I'll take them to the Old Fashioned for better food at a similar price point. read more

MOLD with a side of bad service! Went here for lunch - ordered the Burger and Brat sandwich. After 30 minutes of waiting without seeing my food I went to the counter and asked what was going on. I was then handed my sandwich - no apology for the wait. By this time the other people in my party had received their food and finished eating. I noticed part way through my meal the the pretzel bun the sandwich was served on was MOLDY! Fed up, I brought the sandwich back inside and gave it to the counter. No apology again - was merely given a refund for the cost of the sandwich. Would not suggest going here for food to anyone. read more

Great place to stop for a sandwich with the family. Brats and burgers are always a hit at State Street Brats. read more

Uh oh! Don't come here. Period sis. Because it depends where you sit to see the game read more

Shhh... don't tell my host that I'm a little disappointed this is where she choose to take me for lunch on my first trip to Maddison! The Brats are really not great, I got the Red Brat that 'Alumni Love' and I've had better brats at a tailgate! Brat had no extraordinary flavor and the bun was blah. Though I did love the decor in this bar, the beer selection, the mustard/condiments bar, the plethora of tv's and the nice nice people! I can see how this would be a fun place to come as a college student! read more

Another great staple of Madison that is a must try. Food is very good and beer is of course good. You can get free popcorn for the table. Order food and drinks at the bar and they bring it out to you. The outside seating area is awesome too in both summer and fall. A must try if you are going through Madison. read more

State Street Brats is by far the best bar on State Street and in the downtown Madison area... Brats is great any day of the week. You can't really beat the specials or the crowd that goes there. Tuesday Night flip nights should not be missed, and wristband night is fun too. There is nowhere better to go to watch your team play on a Sunday than Brats. Great specials, huge beers, and huge crowds. The bartenders and bouncers are all great.. and the food is pretty good and inexpensive. It is obvious why this bar is one of Playboy's best college bars in the country... Do not miss!!! read more
