Campustown Bars: Where Should CW & Blum Go?
- Thread starter shadow
- Start date
My sons who graduated from ISU all made me go to WAS and/or Es Tas during graduation weekend. The oldest one, a bunch of the basketball team was there. If an old lady like me can handle them, I think the guys will be fine there. But would be way more fun if they pushed their limits and went to the other bars.
Face it guys. You just need to act your age and wander a little south on Welsh to Stomping Grounds now that it has the bar from Bar LaTasca.

I'm almost 40 and haven't been anywhere besides WAS, Chinese Home Style, and Pizza Pit since graduating. What is AJs? Honest question.
think of the shittiest bar that the under 21 students want to get in
.
All I can say is, good luck. I went back to "the Hill" in Cedar Falls when I was 31. Even then I physically felt, and felt like I looked, way too old to be there. I went back to school later in life too, didn't graduate until I had turned 25, so it wasn't like I had been gone for that long. Still felt way out of touch and super old.
Someone bought the Super Dogs guy out a few years back I believe, so assume it's still there just under different ownership. I hope Chris, Fajita Man, is still there. That was an every weekend night stop for my last year or 2 in Ames.
@ChrisMWilliams @brentblum since you have talked about volleyball you could start by attending their home match at 6:30 on Friday night...
Wednesday nights mug night at Deans List. That’s still a thing, right?
WAS, Cafe B, Mothers, and Thumbs are acceptable campustown options, in my opinion.
Alternatively, you could walk East from the RV lot. Walking to Cellar 626 then, Cornbred or Sweet Caroline’s to eat, and then hit Torrent, Della Viti, Whiskey River, and maybe Sportsman's/London Underground/Angry Irishman before turning in for the night.

Noir is pretty rad, too. But I’d hate to ruin Chris’s belief that Main Street is (still) lame.
