Smokey Joe's
City: Philadelphia, PA
School: Penn
Address: 210 S 40th Street
Their "Dog Day" afternoon special, $1 hot dogs and $2 draughts, is perfect for two things: a) unwinding after a hard morning of classes, and b) taking some years off your life. Which is OK; the late years are all forgetty and wrinkly anyway.

I hated this bar back in high school. If you ever step foot in this shithole, you will understand. Beware of leaky ceilings and high school sophomores.

No dumbasses, it's in Lincoln, NE. It is a hipster hotspot. You're all retarded. And this list is retarded.

Everyone that's commented is a bumbling idiot. I've worked at this bar in ANN ARBOR, and it's honestly the best bar on campus. But if you want you can always stay in your ignorant hick bars and continue to participate in your dumb ass incest ways. if not, you can have a good time at charley's

How in the world does the college bar mecca (Athens, GA) not get a single spot up here? I can think of 3 or 4 bars that are better than one of these shitholes. General's Sideways Bourbon St.
