Looking to head out tonight for some well needed socializing and drinking. Where is a good place not on chippewa for a 23 year old to go out and relax and has a good crowd. Cheap drink specials or lots of different beers on tap is a plus. ---

Gabriel’s Gate. Try their “house brew” or whatever it’s called; tastes like a peanut shell. Buffalo Brew Pub is for cougars and 50 year old bankers getting ready to retire, but they do have a good beer selection. ---

The gate used to have really attractive waitresses also, which is a plus. The back patio area is kind of slimey. If you haven’t been to Elmwood for some reason, you might as well start there ---

> [@boxxa](#): > > Didn’t someone get shot there recently? At Gabe’s? If so, it didn’t happen because of the type of crowd that drinks there, that’s for sure. There are a lot of other great bars in that area, that it’s really hard to just name a few. Stay away from Frizzy’s; not because the bar sucks, but because Frizzy is a douchebag and I’d hate to give him new business. ---

> [@Carnut](#): > > Staples FTW I’ve only been to Staples once for some reason, and I thought it was a pretty cool place. It’s gotta be an awesome venue for a band just starting to play in front of crowds. It’s like they’re playing in their own living room with a small crowd of people watching from the kitchen. ---
