I couldn’t wait to turn 21. Cursed (or blessed) with a late summer birthday, I was forced to watch my friends Uber to the bar while I lived my sad 20-year-old junior life at the townhouses. Now that I’m a senior and finally a legal adult, I live for the weekends at the bar. But like any new relationship, the honeymoon phase only lasts so long. While there are a million reasons to hate it, I will always have a soft spot for my weekends (and Tuesdays and Thursdays) at The Sea Grape.
It’s a dance party with all your closest friends
Until all the random SHU and Bridgeport students show up
Mind erasers, definition of a love/hate relationship
I often sit at the bar thinking I will graduate before even ordering a drink…
But get to talk to people that I normally don’t see
Two-dollar Tuesdays are by far the best night of the week
…until you wake up on Wednesday morning
That $5 cover on the weekend…
No one has any clue what’s in the house shots
But they’re delicious (and cheap!)
Despite its flaws, The Sea Grape will always be a staple in the lives of Fairfield University students. We hate to love ya!
