No matter where you’ve been ( frat, club…library) or who you’re with, you’ll no doubt find yourself at the one and only “Mags” before you call it a night. Let’s face it, everybody who’s anybody can be spotted at Maggie’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill. However, non-Emory students might be surprised to learn that it’s not the vibrant social scene that keeps us flocking to Maggie’s night after night, it’s the bouncers! Catch up with Mason, one of our favorite faces to see on the weekends!
