I usually like me some dive bars and had friends talk highly of this place, but man, after going I just could not find myself liking that place. It is not so much a dive as a just a downright **** hole with interesting past/location/crappy service. I'd rather go to the Beechwood Lounge if near those streets.
This is a great idea since I think that's the area that we were shooting for. Especially because it sounds like el bait shop is the place to end up.
The Exchange is one of the most unique bars I have been too. It's like a stock market. The more of a drink that sells, the more the prices increase. The drinks not selling a lot go down in price. There are LED scrolls across the entire bar that lists the prices.
If you want to rage, Wellman's Rooftop is a lot of fun too.

I am 100% joking here. I was almost killed going into this place. My only offenses:
1. I walked in with a blond friend
2. I spoke english

I went to Up-Down on Saturday and I'll be back. Craft brews and 80's - 90's video games. Mario Kart 64 on the projector as well.
6:00-9:00 Chicken Coop for Grub and ISU game
9:00-10:30 Gas Lamp for some good live music
10:30-12:00 Carls Place (within walking distance of Gas Lamp)
12:00-1:00 Hessen Haus for Das Boot
1:00-1:45 Beer Can Alley (pretty good eye candy here and you guys will be feeling no pain)
1:45-Fongs Pizza
Taxi it up from Carls place to Hessen Haus (probably $8ish). Taxi line downtown is on 3rd and Court. Dont **** in public amd dont beat up the guy in the kilt. If you guys can remember your night I'd love to hear about it. Regardless of where you go, have fun!

There was a young lady there dancing with a bun in the oven.
I tipped generously since she was dancing for two. I'm just classy that way
Brecks has the hottest bartenders around and it's also the best bar in the history of the universe.
