Yes! You can drink 7 nights a week and here’s how:
One of the best parts of the college experience is that any night of the week has the potential to be a party. Convenience is at an all-time high thanks to nicknames like, “Tequila Tuesday” and “Wine Wednesday.” Drink specials found only in a college town allow us poor and struggling students to still catch a buzz while on a budget. The dozens of bars throughout the BloNo area have gifted us lucky ISU students with amazing drink specials seven nights a week. Read more for my personal weekly breakdown of drunks… I mean drinks specials:
MONDAY FUNDAY: Until recently, Monday was a night sure to be devoted to studying, but all that changed this semester when the ever classy, Chaser’s Bar uniquely (spot the sarcasm) coined Mondays as: “Monday Night Chasers”. At least now we don’t have to take a bus to Champaign to get wasted, right? But never fear, there are great deals elsewhere too:
– Enjoy $2 Well Drinks, $2 Half-Pints on Draught, $3 Bombs at Fat Jacks
– Brewe-Ha’s: Don’t miss the $1.25 Miller Family Bottles, $2 Bud Family Drafts, $2.50 Beams, SoCo & Seagram 7
TAKE IT EASY TUESDAY: Tonight is the night to have a brew with some friends and prepare yourself (by yourself I mean your liver) for Wednesday’s festivities.
– Mulligans: $2 You-Call-It
– Drifters: $2 Any Beer, $3 Any Booze + free juke and bags
– Pub 2: $2 Domestic Longnecks, $3 Imports, Micros, & Rail Calls + outdoor beer garden
WINE WEDNESDAY: Whether you celebrate “Pub Wednesday”, “Whiskey Wednesday”, “Wine Wednesday”, or Whatever Else Wednesday, congratulations! You’ve made it through three days of the work week and it is officially time to start celebrating the weekend.
– Known from the dawn of time as “Pub Wednesday’s”, the hot spot Wednesday nights is without a doubt the Pub 2. They protect their reputations with a great atmosphere and great specials which include: $4 Bud Family Pitchers, Vodka Redbull, & All Bombs
– If the Pub is too crowded, head right across the street and test your man/womanhood with the whiskey specials at Maggie Mileys: $3 All CALL American, Irish, Scotch and Canadian whiskey
THIRSTY THIRSDAY: Easily the craziest night of the weekend. For some poor souls, it has been four long, hard days of sobriety up until this point. Loosen up with some great specials at…
– Six Strings: Enjoy GET BUCKED Thursdays with get $1 Domestic Bottles, Well Drinks, Bombs and 16oz Drafts
– Fiesta Ranchero: 1/2 off all Margaritas
– Drifters: $.75 Wells, $1.50 Tall Doubles, $2 Long Islands, $2 Bud Light Bottles, $2 All Bombs
– Daddios: $2 Drinks, Shots, and Beers + no cover with your student ID
FREAKY FRIDAY: It’s Friday! Friday! It’s day two of the weekend and home to the best deals yet. Remember: Long Islands Iced Tea are not actually tea. They’re seven different shots of alcohol and one shot of lost dignity if you’re not careful.
– Drifters: $7 32oz Pinnacle flavored vodka mixed drink buckets
– Mulligans: $6 32oz Long Islands
– Pub 2: $3 22oz Keeper Cup, $2.75 Corona, $3 Liquor Specials
DAY DRINKIN’ SATURDAY: We’re in the final stretch as we arrive to Saturday. If you’re thinking about day drinking, today’s the day to do it. Remember: it’s not day drinking unless you start in the morning.
– Fat Jacks: $2.75 All Bacardi Flavors, The Tsunami Cocktail and Hurricanes (try this!), and Bud Select Bottles
– Maggie Miley’s: $3 Any Flavor of Three Olives Premium Vodka
– Drifters: $3 Double Wells, $3 Bud Family Bottles, $3 Any Bomb, $4 Long Islands + there is usually a DJ to really get the party started!
A SLOW DEATH SUNDAY: A wise soul once gave me some great advice, “you’ll never get a hangover if you just keep drinking through it.” So that is the motto for today. Go to lunch and have yourself an ice cold beer to wash away your sorrows and prevent an impending headache from the weekend.
– It is Sunday Bloody Sunday at Maggie Miley’s: All Daily Specials available! $4 16oz Ultimate Bloody Marys featuring Ketel One Vodka
– Enjoy lunch outside on the patio at the Pub 2: 3.50 24oz Cups, $3.50 Liquor Special
Our parent’s may think we’re creating memories that will last a lifetime, but we know that the best memories we will never remember in the morning…and most of the time for good reason.
