The Goose is the classic college town bar. Located on “The Hill” directly across from the campus, the Goose caters to college students and that’s about it. But this can be a very good thing for those of us on a budget; The Goose offers $2 Bud/Bud light/Jim Beam all day, every day.

As Jessica Case, owner of Buster’s is sad to see The Dame close, Nick Sprouse, general manager of The Dame is glad to see a good place to see a show opening.

To be fair, there are plenty of signs out front, but I’ve lived in the neighborhood for almost 4 months now and hadn’t felt compelled to visit until the other day. I’m glad I did.

So what defines a true t-shirt country? According to the Times, it should be old. It should have dirty restrooms with graffiti scrawled all over the walls, and an older lady with lots of makeup, tending bar.

Some nightclubs don’t just have a killer sound system, but an amazing video screen as well. Such a audio-visual experience, when done correctly, blows the typical nightclub out of the water and this is what some of the best new clubs have! Perhaps the club plays music videos.
