Best Inexpensive College Crowd Pleaser & Best Place To Drink Beer Without Getting Hit On

Crown & Anchor Pub

Never fancy but always fun, good beer specials and cheap food packs \'em in Fridays and Saturdays. The Crown & Anchor Pub's picnic-style tables out front have plenty of room to bring all of your friends for a pint and watch a game or two. The relaxed atmosphere and location lends itself to a great evening.There must be some unwritten metaphysical law governing the place because nobody has ever left this bar with someone they didn't know before they showed up. Bonus points: you can bank on Dinosaur Jr.'s Green Mind, The Replacements' Let It Be, or Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted being in the CD changer. And if that ain't enough, the cheeseburgers are greasy and the Shiner is still relatively cheap. Sounds a little like Utopia.
