JTree always has a line and is more expensive. And Wonder Bar is also teeming with coeds. Not ideal but if you're down there it certainly doesn't suck.
The only time I went to Wonder Bar was my first year out of college during a massive blizzard. It was the closest place to my buddy's place where we were snowed in, so we hiked over. There were about 25 people there and we had a blast and got shitfaced with the bartender and persuaded her back to party more with us. I will never go back for fear of ruining this memory.
JTree was Tonic when I was there. I've been to the Tree, but have always liked the one in Davis better for whatever reasons.
Wonder Bar is bullshit. Fuck that BU euro shit. Local 186 Foreva. Wonderbar neva.

TontoKowalski {l Wrote}:Local 186 was the best. Even the Armadillo is better than whatever sad piece of shit lives there now. Ditto Arbuckles and the Avenue - closing Arbuckles meant Chet had no reason to live.
Presto > Pinos.
The most tragic bar closing ever was Gerlondo's becoming the White Horse. You'd see amazing things at Gerlondo's.
Chicken Patties {l Wrote}:Armadillo and its overly agressive, id snatching asian bouncer sucked ass. I will agree on Gerlondos though. That place was the tits. I once watched 3 hours of the nancy kerrigan beat down coverage there and was probably the only person at the bar not cashing their paycheck. O'malleys and silhouettes were also ok if you didn't mind drinking with the locals.

WTF? When did we officially become Duke University, Northeast Campus?
It's hard to sell kids on how much fun BC is (actually was) when half the shit that made campus life so much fun has been taken away by the school.
Please don't tell me Chi Chi is gone.
If he's still there, I bet his sales are way down because of the increase of sober people on the weekend. Seriously, would you eat those sausages if you weren't blind drunk?
It's not the soberness that is the difference, it's because the current student body is full from eating each other's sausages - and '74 is rolling over in his grave.
ATLeagle {l Wrote}:Speaking of nerdification, even those of us who graduated in the 90s can't hold a candle to the old timers. My dad went to St. Bonaventure in the 60s. Back in the day many of the north east Catholic schools (Fordham, GTown, PC, BC, Fairfield, Nova) went to Bermuda for holy week/spring break. His first year going the BC guys we kicked off the island for their behavior (drunkenness, purposely riding scooters into the water, etc). The country even banned BC from returning the following year.

ATLeagle {l Wrote}:Did they ever go through with the "let's not sell soda" at the Rat idea too? Because we wouldn't want to sell college kids coke or sprite -- those things are bad for you!
The sad thing about the nerdification at BC is that we still haven't moved up the US News Rankings.
BCdee {l Wrote}:TobaccoRoadEagle {l Wrote}:wings at mary anns? wtf is wrong with you nerds. in my day, if you wanted to eat at mary anns you got a bag of 17 year old hot fries out of the vending machine... and you liked it!!!!
i remember riding the bus to maryanns with my fellow students/bartender and helping them get the cash register, pop-a-shot, and juke box warmed up on friday afternoons... ahhhhh good times
i've since been back and you can never go home again. since douggie hurley left the place hasn't been the same
Yeah, when did they serve wings??? Does that mean MA's had a kitchen?! Scary!!!
If I wanted a snack, I hit the vending machine, too....or we would get pizza from Pino's.
EaglesTalon {l Wrote}:My thoughts on the nerdification:
10+ years ago, a solid GPA and good SAT score was enough to get into BC. If you had a solid GPA and good SAT scores and did all that bullshit extracurricular stuff you were probably going to an Ivy. BC was full of smart kids that knew they could either do minimal work and just rely on their natural smarts and get a B+ or A-, or bust their ass and get an A, and knew that the extra work wasn't worth it.
Now, a solid GPA and good SAT score isn't enough to get in. You've gotta be an obnoxious overachiever, who's all into that bullshit extracurricular stuff. The competitive nature of admission means that today's students feel that they need to put in that extra effort to get the best grade in their class and they're not satisfied with just using their natural smarts.

It's also always better before hordes of nerds descend on the campus and ruin a decent party school.
Maybe it's just me but there's never a shortage of parties/goer-outers pretty much every day of the week. Tuesday is MAs, Wednesday is trivia, Thursday is MAs, WonderBar, or J-Tree, Friday and Saturday are whatever, Sunday is usually a day of rest, and Monday is a 50/50. Still plenty of debauchery going on.
Edit: And that was a good joke. I chuckled.

You probably already know this, but White Horse right down the street from The Kells is pretty good on a Thursday too if J-Tree is too crowded. They always have good specials ($2 anytime Harpoon for a month) and lots of BC kids are around too. Also, I thought our mod was the only one who drank Key Ice (more drunk for the buck) but I guess there's other pioneers out there too.
In the pizza debate, Roggies Big Daddy slice forever, Prestos/Pinos cardboard shit never.
flyingelvii {l Wrote}:Went there once, had a good time, pretty good place. Usually it's we just go someplace "random" depending on how long it takes to get out and if my roommates are being douchers or not. When it's cold and relatively late it's usually just MAs. Best bang for the buck, however, is Antuanua before midnight with $1 drafts of High Life or some shit. Decent mix of non-Euro BU people and BC people. But what would I know, I'm part of the nerdification of BC. This previous sentences are all contingent on me being able to get out of the library. It's just so damn hard certain nights when I have to make sure to get a head start on my paper due in three weeks.
And Blanchards just started carrying Key Ice. I mean, with the black cans and black case, we couldn't afford NOT to do it. And it is probably the best tasting of the cheap Ice beers, so we got that going for us.
