WO Wrights

What is it?

WO Wrights is located right across the street from Meijer gas station and is the closest bar in regard to walking distance from campus. Tuesday night is considered college night at WO'S with $3 Cherry Bombs and $3 Pitchers from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. Thursday night is also heavily frequented for Karaoke and various drink specials. Wrights is usually staffed for a large turnout, so if getting drinks in a timely fashion is something you are looking for, this is the place to attend.

Verdict:

With plenty to do, a large crowd of college students, and a friendly and professional staff, WO Wrights is one of the places worth planning your night around.

Wallaby's

What is it?
Wallaby's is located next to the Fairfield Commons mall, behind Red Robin and La Rosa's pizza. Wallaby's features two floors; one with darts and pool tables and a well maintained bar, and the main floor which features a large dance floor. Wallaby's also features outdoor areas both upstairs and down, which plays host to a nice change of location during summer. With drink specials changing on various nights, Thursday is college night, which usually garners the best turnout.

Verdict:

If you can find a designated driver, this is the place to attend. With dance floors, pool tables, and two separate bars, there is something for everyone at Wallaby's.

Tuty's

What is it?

The newly renovated bar is located next to Waffle House on Colonel Glenn Highway, just a few miles away from campus. Thursday nights feature $2 pitchers of beer along with specials on various mixed drinks. With a small location, the feel is usually somewhat cramped and a tad more laid-back than your other bars in the area. With a minimal staff, this bar is better attended on a night that is not heavily populated; otherwise you may be waiting a while to get a drink.

Verdict:

A fun place to check out, especially if it's not a Thursday night and you are looking for something to do. Other than a few pool tables and minimal seating, however, you are better served to wait for a night that is not busy.

The Greene

What is it?

Located off of I-675, the Greene plays host to many different bars, all suited for different atmospheres. The newly built Pub features many beers from around the world and a large tasting menu. The pub is a perfect place to try something new. Adobe Gila's on the other hand is geared toward a bit of a younger college crowd featuring many special drinks such as fish bowls and margaritas. Tuesday nights also features 50 cent drafts which bring out the biggest crowd. Lastly, Bar Louie is a sophisticated establishment where you can try many different beers and martinis and eat a good meal too.

Verdict:

Whether a night out with your buddies, or a nice evening of drinks with your significant other, the Greene has it all. If you are willing to take the drive and have a bit of extra cash to spend, the Greene offers so many different options that a good time is sure to be had.
