What Your Favorite OU Bar Says About You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Ohio U chapter.

Let me start off by saying, once you are the legal age of 21, you should go to whatever bar you want to, no judgments passed. However, every bar kind of has a stereotype, and you’ll learn more about them the more you go out (again, at the legal age of 21. Cannot stress that enough, we aren’t advocating for underage drinking despite what some of the stereotypes are). So, before you go out, know a little bit about your Athens bars.

Stephen’s
